Remember that the Blancarte 10K Time Trial course is an open course...check back for more course details later. We are once again fortunate to have the presence and assistance of the Johnson County Sheriff's Office, a course map is available in the link to the right, a video will soon be posted, and printed maps will be available at registration to view or take with you.
Remember that on an open course you must stay to the right of the yellow line at all times. Also, you must maintain a distance of 25 meters (80 feet) behind the rider ahead of you. A pass (from 25 meters behind a rider to 25 meters ahead of that rider) should be accomplished within a distance of 500 meters. Also, you should maintain 2 meters (7 feet) between yourself and another rider when passing. Of course, riders are very rarely penalized for these infractions unless done willfully and blatantly; on the other hand, 1) we can all compete in the spirit of these rules and 2) you now know a few other pieces of cycling trivia!
Another gem from the USAC Rule Book: Sleeveless Jerseys ARE allowed in Individual Time Trials!
