INDIVIDUAL RACE INFORMATION

Highland Time Trial – Wednesday, May 3                                                                         All classes

Location: Start at Greenspot at Santa Paula Street, Highland
Start Time – 10:00 am

Distance – 5.3 miles

Course – Round-about course

Course

Course is a challenging climb up Greenspot Rd. Approximately 1.4 miles is a steady 3% climb until you make a hard right hand turn and the next 2,500 meters levels out until you reach the turnaround point. The return is just a repeat in reverse until you arrive at the finish line. Parts of this course are very rough with cracks and patches on the asphalt road especially along the long descent approaching the turnaround point. Make sure you take this into consideration when selecting equipment for this race as you will have to deal with the rough patches on your way back up.

Course -  Residential streets/commercial road

Course

Course is approximately 1.7 miles long combining residential streets and a commercial road. There is a slight climb for the first 300 ft. then it flattens out until the first right hand turn on Fir Ave. The course will run counterclockwise. Once on Fir Ave. there will be a steady climb until Bryant Ave. This climb averages about 4-5%. Turn left on Bryant Ave. which will remain fairly flat until the left turn on Sunnyside Dr. Speeds will pick up substantially due to the fast downhill section that extends through Summerwood Drive.
