Overview
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 Kinetic Cycles 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.
This is a great
opportunity to challenge yourself to a hard bike ride and compare
yourself to your friends and others in your age group!!

Course Details
Each time trial will be held along the
Sacramento River just south of Freeport. Freeport is
located just south of the Pocket Road exit on I-5. We will start and finish at the
drawbridge in Freeport. Start/finish location is on the east side of
the river. Distance:
10 miles
Description: Road is well
paved and runs along the river. There is one very slight uphill
within the first mile (thus, a slight downhill in the last mile on the
return of the out-and-back). The road has a long and very gradual
turn just after the 2.5 mile mark (and before the 7.5 mile mark on the
return of the out-and-back) which follows the bend in the river. Traffic
is generally pretty light.
Weather conditions are
typically hot with little wind, or cooler with more wind (10-15 mph
usually is the max). Because the road has the bend in it, you will
never have a headwind or tailwind for more than 2.5 miles at a stretch.
If you check out previous results, you'll see the weather conditions on
that particular day.
Course Records
Men - Chris Morales, 20.54, 28.7 mph
Women - Heather Pryor, 24.16, 24.6 mph

Directions - 15 minutes from
