Bradford Creek Golf Course, Old Pactolus Rd.

 

You can't get lost on this 4.85 mile loop!  GREAT for new riders!  Riders can choose slow or fast paced groups, or train or ride individually.   A nice, safe ride on roads with very low traffic.  Everyone invited!!  Riders normally start arriving at about 5pm.

Ride starts at Bradford Creek Golf Course, take a right out of the parking lot on Old Pactolus Rd, right on Sunnyside Rd, Sunnyside will loop around and crosses Old Pactolus Rd. again, take a right here and the entrance to the golf course will be on your right again. (Route map)

 

5:30 pm, 1st Tuesday of each month

Tuesday Time Trial, Bradford Creek Golf Course


Riders start at 30 second intervals. Bring your sleekest, wind cheatingest, aeronerdiest bike gear, your dimpled sunglasses and lube yourself up as you see fit to bike the two laps (almost 10 miles) around the Bradford Creek Golf Course (Route map). No prizes and no entry fee, but you do get bragging rights over your buddies.

We will handicap times based off of age and gender (see handicaps), so everyone has a shot at toasting the competition. But even if that’s not what motivates ya, come out anyway and get a baseline here early in the season on your bike fitness – something you can measure again at the next time trial to gauge your fitness. There will be a clipboard for everyone to record their times. Honor system here folks……..just time yourself and turn it in when you’re through.
