2013 Le Tour de Mont Pleasant

TWILIGHT TIME TRIAL - PROLOGUE

START TIMES FOR TIME TRIAL (in Alphabetical order by last name) will be available the week of the event.

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 (June 7, 2013) will be our kick-off event for Le Tour de Mont Pleasant on Central Michigan University's campus (360 East Broomfield Street, Mt. Pleasant, 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 3.87 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 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 discipline...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.
"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."
