- Several years ago, I designed a 100 KM TT circuit consisting of
seven out and return segments that look like a hand with a thumb and
six fingers offering the opportunity to see other riders coming and
going as you navigate the circuit. You're not out there all alone.
Over the years, the circuit has been modified as road segments have
been paved. Riding this circuit between 6 PM and sunset is not possible
by the typical OMV rider, thus we have started early in many prior years.
- To interfere less with your work as necessitated by early starts,
the circuit has been shortened to 75 KM by amputating two fingers and
will start promptly at 6:00 PM. There is absolutely no significance
to the 75, at least not for a few more years. If you want to ride but
don't want to ride the full 75 KM, you can shorten the circuit further
yet by U-turning as you meet the leading riders inbound on each finger.
Note that Street Atlas has errors in the directions.
- Individual vs Team is an ad hoc choice. You can cease and desist
wheelsucking to test yourself or join with other riders to form a team
if you wish. Tandems are especially welcome and teams just love the
U-turns.
- Post-TT, we'll chow and guzzle at El Dorado
