    • Start-Finish Location:

    Individual TT:
    First racer released at 8:30 with successive racers at 30-second intervals grouped by category. Juniors will lead-off the race with a 10-minute buffer.
    Team TT:
    The first 2-person team will start a half-hour after the conclusion of the Individual race with successive teams at 2-minute intervals.

    This is an extremely fun and unique opportunity to race a Team TT. There's plenty of time between the individual race and the Team event. We highly encourage every club/team throughout Michigan to be represented.

    New this year, the 4-person team event will follow the 2-person team event. It will be run in the same format as the 2-Person team event.

    Course:
    The 12-mile (20km), out-n-back course will be closed to all motorized traffic. The winding roadway is in good shape with gently rolling terrain. The route is clearly marked with large banners at both endpoints and mile markers along the way to help pace your effort. Our support team will be posted along the route and equipped with basic repair supplies (pump, tubes, tools) and cell phone - just in case.

    The parkway will be closed at 7:00AM. Please use an alternate route to the start-finish area.

    Do NOT warm-up on the course. There's plenty of roadway around the area to utilize.
