Last details for the time trial are below.  If you think you might participate,
hit
Reply (NOT reply all...) and let me know (it's not a commitment, it's only so we
have
some idea how many to plan for).

WHAT: Swancott Time Trial - Monthly Series
WHEN: Saturday, November 11, riders start at 2pm (be there by 1:45)
WHERE: Corner of Swancott and County Line Road
CONTACTS: amelia.baldwin@... [256-520-9494] and
gretchen.everts@...
WHO: You! We encourage all riders of all levels to participate to measure their
progress. This is not a race for prizes, just personal goals.  It's a race
against the
clock!

|--- Volunteers Needed! ---|

Want to help?  Please!  We could use a couple of course marshalls (more for
safety than
anything else!) and someone to help with standing starts (i.e. hold the seat
post so
they can start upright already clipped in).  These are EASY jobs!  Please email
us if
you want to help.  Your help will be greatly appreciated!  If you want to ride
AND help,
then we can arrange that as well through an early ride (we are going to do one
for us,
too).

|--- WEATHER ---|

The time trial will be cancelled only if the weather is REALLY bad. Current
forecast
says the thunderstorms will be over in the morning on Saturday and it will be in
the 50s
and a bit windy.  Just lovely weather for a time trial! :o)

|---The Details---|

On November 11, we will have our first monthly time trial. 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 is marked for the
time trial
using GREEN paint and a map is available.  Here is a preview:

f
http://www.webprofessor.org/bikealabama/maps/limestone-swancott9miletimetrial.pd\
f

The course has eight 90 degree turns.  Two of these are actual left turns from
one road
to another (Swancott to Rockhouse and Rockhouse to Henderson).  Please take
care!  The
others are just 90 degree bends in the roads (not intersections) like we see in
rural
Limestone County all the time.  According to bikely.com the route has about 170
feet of
climbing (and the same of descending of course).

|--- LOCATION ---|

Mr Bibb, of the Swancott Grocery and Deli, has graciously agreed to let us use
his store
as our starting point.  Please do not park at the store (except volunteers).  We
do not
want to not to block access to the store.  Also, please do not park on Swancott
west of
County Line (so as not to block the view of cyclists on the course) or anywhere
directly
on the time trial course roads. Riders need to plan to park away from the start
(see
below) and do a warm up ride to the starting area. PLEASE DO GO INTO THE STORE
AND GIVE
Mr Bibb YOUR BUSINESS.

|--- SIGN UP ---|

Show up at the store by 1:45 to sign up.  There is NO COST.  Cyclists will start
in the
order they sign up.  If we have a big turnout, cyclists will wear numbers (which
will be
provided) and turn them back in at the finish.  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 and/or posted on the web.

|--- PARKING ---|

You may park at St Andrews Primitive Baptist Church or at New Hope Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. Both churches have graciously given permission for use of
their
parking lots. Please be parked and off the course by 1:45pm.

St Andrews is a bit further on Swancott, take the right turn up the hill right
after the
store - you know, the "church on the hill" on the left - but please park BEHIND
the
church, not in front because of potential choir practice.

NEW HOPE is on Wall Street near the end of the time trial course. From the
store, go
straight west (i.e. don't take the right turn up to St Andrews) and after the
two 90
curves in the road, New Hope is on your left with a big parking lot in front.

|--- 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)

Take particular care in making the left turn from Swancott to Rockhouse.
Oncoming
traffic has, of course, the right of way.  Ride smart and be safe.

|--- RULES ---|
   Safety is most important.
   Helmets required.
   Do not cross the centerline at any time for any reason.
   You may pass a cyclist on either side as long as you don't cross the
centerline.
   No drafting.

|--- DIRECTIONS ---|

To get there, from I-565, take Wall Triana Hwy south until it becomes Boeing
Blvd
(continue straight) and then dead ends into County Line Road.  Turn left on
County Line
Road. Swancott Store is on your right at the next intersection (Swancott Rd). To
park
and ride, turn right at the store, take the next right (also Swancott) and park
behind
St Andrews church which is on the left at the top of the little hill.  Be on
your bike
at the store at 1:45pm.

Barry,

I've been using Gmap for years, but bikely is so much better. The elevation
profile is a
bit weird but much more informative than gmaps.  Both are based on google-maps,
strangely enough.

Does riding in a crowd make you nervous?  Do you get dropped on group rides, even though they aren't going so fast?  Do you get hollered at on the Tuesday/Thursday rides and you don't know why?

 

Then you need to attend the Spring City Cycling Club Group Ride Clinic.  You'll learn the techniques needed to ride safely and confidently in a pack of cyclists? 

 

Topics to be covered include:

Drafting

Pacelines

Crosswind Echelons

Surviving getting bumped

Object avoidance

Etiquette

Upper respiratory clearance techniques (time permitting)

 

The clinic will be broken into a 1-hour classroom session followed by a 2-hour on-the-road practice session. 

 

Bring a good road bike and enough supplies for a two-hour ride

 

This class is designed to build confidence and fluidity while riding with a group, will help you save energy on long rides, and, most importantly, help riders avoid and prevent accidents. Both experienced and new riders can benefit from this clinic. Invite a friend! Cyclists of all abilities and interests are invited.

 

Location: Hampton Cove Middle School, 261 Old Highway 431, Hampton Cove
Directions: From Huntsville, follow US 431/Governors Drive east over Monte Sano Mountain to Hampton Cove. Left onto Old 431 at light. Go east on Old 431 past Publix to first light. Turn into the drive and follow it past fire station to Hampton Cove School. The Middle School is in the right wing of the building.

A small group of SCCC members spent a week in the mountains of

finally completed a trip report, mostly as a memory thing, but
