Palomares TT

posted in: Events, Team Rides, Training | 0

It’s been a long time since we did an official (non-strava segment) hill climb TT up Palomares.

The plan is for the team to meet at Niles, where i will set the field and provide last minute instructions. Roll out at 08:45 and ride up Niles Canyon to Sunol and back to Palomares.

The start line is at the metal sign post just before the road bears left. Please do not block the road. I am hoping to get a holder, so you can be solidly attached to your bike for the start. The finish line is just before the crest of the hill at the metal sign post adjacent top the ‘K’ rail. I am planning on putting out the usual miles to go markers.

IMPORTANT

When you finish, continue on to the dirt shoulder and DO NOT RETURN to the time keeper to get your time. The road is too narrow to have you all mingling about and becoming targets.

This event will require 3 helpers. Two timekeepers, one at start and one at the finish, who will need to coordinate watches. I only have the one stop watch. We also need the holder at the bottom of hill.

I think i already have enough people volunteering, but please do email to confirm.
