time trial length(s)
Aside from championship distances, what are typical lengths of time trials in US amateur racing? 3-6-8 miles or so, mostly?
I'm thinking of weekend stage races and local series, just trying to get a feel for typical distances around the country. |
10 miles is common.
20k is also somewhat common. 40k is the most common championship distance, as you mentioned. |
i would like to see more long TT's... maybe even something like a 100k tt
|
TTs vary here. Dunlap - 30K, Berkeley TTT 18 miles, Altamount TTT 20 miles, Calavaras ITT 10 miles, Esparto 18 miles, Topsport Stage Race ITT portion 10 miles, Madera Stage Race ITT portion 12 miles, Mount Diablo Hill climb ITT 10K and the District and Natz championships 40K.

We have a MegaMonster ITT 100KM and 100 miles.

I have rarely seen a 40k TT as part of something other than championships or stand alone TT's in amateur racing. |

A lot of ours are 15k/9mi, state champs (T)TT is 40k I think.

Creeky we don't get many races with a TT, Ft Davis and Fayetteville both are under 20mi. Most of the other TT event's tend to fall into the 20mile range other than the State Champs. I wish we had more races with TT's though.

I'm thinking of weekend stage races and local series, just trying to get a feel for typical distances around the country. TTs in stage races are 9-12 miles, (a bit more for big stage races like Elkhorn/Hood) Championship TTs are usually 40km ish mmmmm, mmmm.... I am in favor of TTs :) |
In SoCal the stand alone TT series has events ranging from 14km-20km plus a few weekends with 40km options. The district TT is 37.5km. Stage race TTs seem to run anywhere from 5km uphill (Callville Bay) to 22km on a flat course (Valley of the Sun).

As he said, 3-4 miles is the common distance here in Florida. Personally, I'd like to see more 15k+ distance TT's.
Did I mention lame? Super duper lame. |

I was thinking of Texarkana and Kilgore. Also Fayetteville and Fort Davis and Cotton Patch. Plus a few in LA but I don't think the Austin crew ever drives that far.
