Stages

The course includes a 7-mile section leading to a 27-mile loop, and ends with a 3-mile section after the loop. The start is in Waitsburg, and the first half mile is neutral until after crossing the railroad tracks. The tracks are rough and at a high angle. They will not be covered- walking over the tracks may be advisable.

There are two corners with a sharp left turn after a descent. One is at 15.5 miles into the race. The other is at 26.5 miles. Pro-1-2 Men and Cat 3 Men will encounter each turn twice, as they are doing the loop two times.

The TT is a 9.3-mile point-to-point race. The first four miles tilt upwards, with the steepest part a short  5% section near the top. The course is circular, with the finish an easy, flat, 2 miles back to the start. It’s a perfect warm-down.

Please do not take cars to the TT finish line. There is no room for vehicle parking.

A rolling course on good country roads. 45-inch gear is recommended.
The road race course will be a combination of a short loop and a long loop. Some groups do a short loop and one or two long loops, other groups do one or two long loops. The race guide has the directions for all groups. All groups will ride in a clockwise direction, staging at 10th and Coppei in Waitsburg, finishing at the top of the climb just south of Waitsburg.

Racers will go up the climb two to four times, depending on the category. The first time up, the first two miles of the race, will be speed-controlled to 8 to 11 mph. A warm-up is recommended anyhow, as the average grade is 5%.
