USAC Time Trial State Championships
Sunday, September 13
The Time Trial is the old course used years ago by Maverick Sports Promotions during theor well-received Summer Time Trial Series. Riders will depart at 30-second intervals from the Burning Stones Plaza in the main village. From there they'll get on the bike path and climb to Vail Pass finishing in the parking lot of the rest area. Riders DO NOT have to be from Colorado to win the Colorado State TT Championship.
Course Details:
Racers will depart Copper's Burning Stones Plaza in 30-second intervals beginning at 8:30am on Sunday. From there they'll make a quick juke onto the rec path and head for Vail Pass. The finish is through the small underpass right as you come out into the parking lot of the rest area at the top of the pass.
