The Race of Truth

The Thursday Night Time Trial (TT) series is held every 3 weeks starting at the beginning of May and ending with a championship night mid-August. There will be two divisions: no aero-equipment and anything goes.

It is a race against yourself and the challenge is to improve on your own personal time week by week. 

WHERE

The course (on Crowsfoot road) is known as the “THE MARYHILL SPEEDWAY”   It is 13.86 km; roughly 7 km out and 7 km back.  This is a very fast flat course (other than a little downhill ramp at the start to get you going and to challenge you at the finish).

WHEN

Sign up begins at 6:15 and ends promptly at 6:30 when the first rider starts.

Arriving after 6:30 means you will have to wait until the next time trial – so please be on time.

Time Trial Dates:

  • May 2
  • May 23
  • June 13 Two Person TTT
  • July 4
  • July 25
  • Aug 15 Championship Night

Inclement Weather: The time trial will be cancelled if there is solid rain (causing rooster tails off your back wheel) or lightning between 6-8 pm, if the temperature is below 0 C, or if there are sustained winds greater than 40 kph. If the ride is going to be cancelled, a tweet will be sent from @WaterlooCC (see right side of home page).

Two Person TTT
On June 13 we will run the event as a two person team time trial. Ride with your buddy or show up solo and we will pair you with someone of similar ability. The goal of course, is to work together and set a PB. There will be aero and non-aero categories. If you would prefer to ride alone that will be allowed.
