WHAT: Swancott Time Trial - Monthly Series
WHEN: Saturday, November 11 at 2pm
WHERE: Corner of Swancott and County Line Road
CONTACTS: amelia.baldwin@... and gretchen.everts@...
WHO: We are encouraging all riders of all levels to participate to measure their
progress. We especially encourage all the moderate riders to join us. This is not a
race for prizes, just personal goals.

|---The Details---|

On November 11, we will start a (potentially) monthly time trial during the darker
months. It will start from the corner of Swancott and County Line Road (Swancott
Grocery and Deli) beginning at 2pm.

Come out and pit yourself against the clock. Our plan is to repeat the time trial each
month (at least until Spring) so you can measure your progress over time. This is not a
race against other cyclists. No award will be given to the fastest finishers. This is
a race against the clock to measure personal fitness. All cyclists are welcome and
encouraged to participate.

COURSE: The course is 9 miles and includes Swancott, Rockhouse Rd, Henderson Rd and Wall
Street. It is mostly well-paved and traffic is very light. Please take note of the
left turn onto Rockhouse and take particular care there. The course will be clearly
marked for the time trial series and a map will be available if necessary. Here is a
preview: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Swancott-9-mile-Time-Trial

LOCATION: Mr Bibb, of the Swancott Grocery and Deli, has graciously agreed to let us use
his store as our starting point. Please try not to block access to the store when
parking. Please do not park on Swancott west of County Line (so as not to block the
view of cyclists one the course). Most folks will want to plan to park away from the
start and do a warm up ride to the starting area.

Show up at the store by about 1:45 to sign up. Cyclists will start in the order they
sign up. We will have a normal time trial start, with a cyclist starting every minute
until all are out on the course. Timing will be provided. Results available shortly
after the last rider finishes. Results will be tabulated over the series so you can
track your progress. Results will be emailed to participants.

WEATHER: The time trial will be cancelled only if the weather is REALLY bad.

SAFETY: Safety is primary, and safety should never be sacrificed for seconds. Everyone
will wear a helmet. All cyclists will obey all traffic rules. We have a good
reputation in this neighborhood and we want to keep it that way. :o)

VOLUNTEERS: Don't want to ride but want to help? We could use a couple of course
marshalls and someone to help with standing starts. These are easy jobs! Email us if
you want to help.
