ROUTE CHANGE FOR 15KM TT - MAY 1st

After several of us rode the proposed 15km time trial course, we have made a change to a circuit instead of “out and back”.

Here is the new course. The start is the same as posted before, approx. 300m west of Crosslands on Flos 4, then go west on Flos 4, turn right (north) on Vigo Road, turn right (east) on Flos 7, turn right (south) on Crosslands Road, turn right (west) on Flos 4 to finish just beyond the starting point.

Be aware that there is a stop sign at the corner of Flos 7 and Crosslands Road.

Our final club race of the summer season is the hill climb at 10.00am on Saturday, September 22nd at Moonstone.

The course will start at the Moonstone ski hill parking lot (same as the Interclub race) go up Mount St. Louis hill but instead of going to the top, you will turn on the 5th which kicks up again. I have to measure it but it should be around 2.5km.

The championship will be done as a time trial but I’m thinking that to make it worthwhile coming out we could follow it up with a mass start race over the same course as a handicap start. The slowest rider from the TT climb would go first, then the next slowest through to the fastest off last, all separated by the TT time differences. The theory being that you all come across the line together, causing a judging nightmare.

I have measured the hill climb course and have 2.7km from the start at the entrance to the Moonstone parking lot up Mount St. Louis Road then right to the crest of the hill on Line 5.

The first stage will be the time trial with the first rider off at 10.00am then 30 sec intervals. The time differences between riders will become the handicap start for the second stage. Slowest rider off first through to the fastest. The first over the line is the winner of the second event.

The championship will be decided by points awarded for your position in both stages. To avoid the incredibly remote possibility of someone “sandbagging” it in the time trial for a head start in the second stage, points will be weighted towards the time trial performance and less points for the handicapped mass start. The combined total points will decide the champions in the various age groups, both male and female.

Please arrive by around 9.30am to sign on (no entry fee) so we can start on time at 10.00am. The second stage will start as soon after we get the start order sorted out.

Thursday August 30th will be our final 15km time trial of the season and has been designated a BCC Championship. After the race all competitors are invited to East Side Mario’s in the south end of Barrie for pizza. The pizza will be on the BCC but you will have to pay for drinks.

The championship categories are:

MEN AERO: OPEN, JUNIOR (under 18 ), 40+, 50+, 60+. (Aero includes full TT bikes or any bike with deep dish wheels, tri bars or aero helmets)
MEN REGULAR BIKE: OPEN, JUNIOR (under 18 ), 40+, 50+, 60+. (Includes regular road bike without any of the above aero components) Shaved legs are ok!

WOMEN AERO: OPEN, JUNIOR (under 18 ), 40+.
WOMEN REGULAR BIKE: OPEN, JUNIOR (under 18 ), 40+.

MOST IMPROVED IN THE 2007 TT SERIES.

Trophies will be presented at our BCC windup later in the year.

The time of start will be our usual 7.00pm but try to be there by 6.30pm to sign on and warm up. Entry fee is $3.00.

The course is on county road 56, just south of Highway 90, 13km west of downtown Barrie. The start will be just north of 30th Side Road and go south to the turn at 7.5km then retrace to the finish. Go to www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1256956

Parking is recommended on 30th Side Road on the east side of 56 where there is a wide shoulder. We will look for more permanant parking if we decide to use this course next year.

Let’s make this a record turnout!

See you there.

Mike
