As the Raven Flies: new local TT series in McMinnville
January 26, 2010
I was happy to spot a new time trial race series happening right in my backyard of McMinnvile, Oregon on the OBRA schedule. For three Saturdays in March, starting with March 6th, there will be a 12 mile (6 mile out and back) time trial on the quiet farm roads just southwest of town. The course is fairly hilly, starting with about 300' of climbing with rollers and high speed turns throughout. Probably not enough to be considered "technical" but it's certainly not a pancake flat TT where you just stare at your computer's power output.
The course is on Map My Ride if you want to try it yourself before the actual events. I would guess the fastest people will be doing it in the low 30-something minute ranges despite the climbs and cornering. The races also happen to take place the day before two of the Hagg Lake Banana Belt races, so it might make for a perfect double weekend for road riders shaping up for 2010.
