The Gainesville TT Challenge will rise up from the ashes to bring pain and suffering upon all participants in 2011!
The Committee to Avoid Responsibility has recently looked over the tentative 2011 Florida Racing Calendar and come up with potential dates for the 2011 series. The CAR will settle on the six dates by February 1st, and the announcement will be made at that time.
We will once again spare no expense (literally, no expense) and award prizes to the fastest time in each of the three categories at the end of the season. And if you're lucky, you may get a burrito. Or not.
The tentative dates are:
Feb 26th, April 16th, May 21st, June 25th, July 23rd, August 13th, September 24th.
Yes, I know there are more than six dates there. But just like Ahmad Black at the end of the Outback Bowl, we will pick six. And, as always, the dates will be a little flexible due to unforeseen changes in the Florida Racing Calendar, bad weather, the return of Cthulu, etc.
About the 2011 Gainesville TT Challenge
The TT Challenge is a 9.3 mile out and back time trial. It is open to anyone that rides a bicycle. During the series, an Individual Time Trial will be held once a month until the end of the series in September. We will record your times and at the end of each event the results will be published. At the end of the series we will announce the results of the best times, best averages, and course record. The overall winner based on time in each category will be given a handy certificate signifying that they got an official "Atta Boy (or Girl!)", nothing else.
There will be three categories for the challenge:
Aero -- This can be a road bike with clip-on aerobars, or a TT bike, aero helmet, and skin suit.
Merckx -- Road bike only, no clip-on's, no aero helmets, no skinsuits, no deep dish wheels (30mm max please).
Anything Goes -- This is for anything that is pedal driven. Trikes, recumbents, what-have you. If you can pedal it, you can enter it.
There will also be an optional fourth category, "I want to ride a time trial, but I don't want anyone to know my official time". We will not record your time if you're in this category.
