TWO-TYRED WHEELMEN THURSDAY NIGHT TIME TRIALS

On Thursday nights the Two Tyred Wheelmen will hold its practice time
trial series for 2007. These time trials present an excellent
training opportunity for riders of all abilities and levels.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the time trials, even if just
to watch.

General Information:
The time trials will take place each Thursday at various venues
throughout Dane County, Wisconsin. Sign up and registration opens at
6:20 PM, racing begins shortly after 6:30 PM. Time trials are an
individual effort against the clock thus a good way for beginners to
test themselves against others without being in a pack of riders.
More advanced riders use them to hone their breakaway skills, check
fitness levels, do speed work, to name a few reasons. Others just
because they love/hate/love to time trial. Riders generally will
start at 30 second intervals.
