Time Trial August 22nd

TriRochester will be hosting a Time Trial next Tuesday, August 22 out of Douglas, MN. Start time around 6:15. You can TT it, use it for a tempo ride, whatever you want, but it's an opportunity to put in a hard ride with other cyclists, triathletes, etc. and have a "time" to show for it.

Divisions:

Men aero 

Men stock 

Women aero 

Women stock 

Men First timers open

Women First timers open

Note:

any aero add-on puts you in aero div. (Wheel over 40mm, disc wheel, aero bars, aero helmet, etc)

E-bikes will get 30 minutes added to their time :)

We reserve the right to combine categories within gender if there isn't a minimum of 3 riders in the category, but we'll note the type of bike you rode.

If you show up with a BMX bIle, fat bike or a mountain bike, we may create a category for you.

We'll figure out an alternative date if we experience severe weather.

Route

We will use the 18.9 mile loop course starting in Douglas heading west on 75th St.  See our TT Page for route info.

May Social

For our social get-together this month we'll be meeting Sunday morning for homemade scones and coffee followed by hundreds of drinks! Time: 7:15 am May 29th. Place: 7th Street NE (east of Silver Lake Dr NE - https://goo.gl/maps/Xsw6CybKooR2) Yeah, that is on the side of the road and it is also known as the water stop near mile 11 on the MedCity Marathon course, but it will be fun. Think of it as multitasking!
We are still looking for more people to help out with the water stop, so bring a friend. No experience needed.

Spring Time Trials Start This Week

Our Spring bike time trial series starts this week. We will meet up in the Douglas Trail parking lot in Douglas on Thursdays and start the first rider at 6pm.  Details are here.  Hope to see you there.

Hill Workouts are underway

We've started doing hill workouts.  These are group bike workouts with repeats of a selected hill done at your own pace.  This is a great way to kick off the outdoor riding season since even though you are riding at your own pace on the hill, we will all be on the same stretch of road should anyone need assistance.  Info on the workouts is here.
