LE TOUR TIME TRIAL

2012 information coming soon....

TWILIGHT TIME TRIAL - PROLOGUE

START TIMES FOR TIME TRIAL (in Alphabetical order by last name)

time trial: A time trial is a race by individual riders who shoot off of a ramp every 30 seconds to test their skills with high speed velocity riding.

Friday evening will be our kick-off event for Le Tour de Mont Pleasant on Central Michigan University's campus (in front of the Student Activity Center) where cyclists of all different categories will be racing against themselves as they sprint for time in the "Time Trial." This course is approximately 4.3 miles long and will allow cyclists to gear up for a weekend full of competitive racing. TIME TRIAL BIKES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED FOR THIS RACE!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

"The Chief Referee, Paul Alman, upon review of the course for Friday night's prologue time trial, has decided that in addition to the already communicated "no Time Trial only bikes", to also restrict bikes to those defined in rule 1M1(g) as "mass start bicycles". This restricts bicycles in the Friday Time Trial to "...a bicycle that is legal in all events within the road descipline...rather than a bicycle that is restricted to particular events. As an example, a bicycle with handlebars offering forearm support is not a mass start bicycle." In other words, no clip on bars will be allowed.
Alman has said "Based on my review of the course maps, mass start bikes will be much safer and more effective on this course. The promoter is calling Friday's Time Trial a demonstration event, and we want to keep it in that spirit."

We are kicking off the weekend of Le Tour properly this year with a Twilight Time Trial just to rev up the legs and get your heart pumping. The Time Time Trial is a tight, technical, 4 mile course through the south end of CMU's campus. The Start/Finish Line will be between the New CMU Event Center and the Student Activity Center just off Broomfield Road with large lots for plenty of parking for racers and spectators. Racers will start and ride past the parking lots heading east briefly before making sharp right turns heading south on East Campus Drive and then west on South Stadium Drive. Two quick jogs south on Tower Drive and west on West Campus Drive delivers racers to Denison Drive. After turning left, Denison is a like a dream, a wide smooth paved road through beatiful parkland. Once through this area, racers will take a sharp left onto Crawford Road and then another sharp left onto Deerfield Road. This is where caution is needed. Deerfield is rough and in need of patching so racers beware on this bumpy, gritty patch of road. Racers then turn left on Three Leaves Drive and head back to Denison which puts them back in the other lane of the orginal route. Racers will be passing each other in different lanes on the beginning and ending stretch of the Time Trial. Road Marshals and cones will help delineate the course and CMU Public Safety Officers will be guarding intersections for safety. The Time Trial course is closed to all traffic except on Deerfield Road which will have on lane closed for the Time Trial. Racers will have a special area just north of the Student Activity Center's front doors for check-in.
