In the Tour de France, the time trial is the race of truth.  It's just you and your bike against the clock.

Total Intensity Sports and The Bicycle Chef are excited to put together a series of time trials for Sacramento cyclists and triathletes.  Held every other Thursday, from May through August, these time trials will give you a chance to test your cycling speed on a flat and fast time trial course.

Start Times? Athletes go off in one minute increments. The first athlete will start at 6.15.  We will allow athletes to start as late as 7.00, so if you can't be there by 6.15 you can show up as late as 7.00 to get in.
