2 Time Trials today!

Stage #2 in the Mother's Day Omnium Bicycle Race - Saturday, May 7th - The Lovelock-to-Inskip Uphill Time Trial - 9:00AM:

This is the Event #17 in the 25-race Butte Hill Climb Time Trial Series, and counts as an extra-point event! This 10.4 mile course climbs approximately 2,800 feet - starting at the little town of Lovelock and finishing up near Inskip. This is considered a Category 2 climb in the Butte Series. However, because it is part of the Mother's Day Omnium, we will be awarding an extra 3-points in this one. Registration will open at 8:30am just up the road from the intersection of The Skyway & Coutelenc Road. Keep driving/riding on The Skyway until you see me and the R.A.C.E.mobile - there is a large dirt parking area off to the side of the road........this is the Start location for the Time Trial - it's about a mile past the intersection of The Skyway & Coutelenc Road. The finish is just before we get into the little town of Inskip. A map of this course can be found here:

And let me say this - it is amazingly beautiful up there!!! First rider will go off at 9:01am and we will go in 1-minute intervals - and remember, it's just you against the clock - no big whoop - just go out there and have fun!!!
Helmets are mandatory. Event will be held rain or shine!
