TT#1 Start Times and Instructions

Start Times for the ABD Indoor TT#1 are posted at www.ABDcycling.com. Please read through the following instructions in order to prepare yourself for Sunday’s event.

1) Start Times are Preliminary, and there may be changes between now and Friday @ 5pm, so please check back.

2) Day-of-Race Registration is available for spots after 1:00 PM and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration opens at 7:30 AM.

3) PARKING: The lot behind the Winfield Middle School has unfortunately become an ice skating rink with the recent weather. It may by accesible by this weekend but if it isn't, please use the lot off of Winfield Road (where the start/finish for the Winfield Criterium is) or you can park on Summit or Park Street but there must be enough room for a fire engine to get through OR YOU WILL BE TICKETED.

4) Please arrive to register at least one hour before your race, and be at your station and ready to race five minutes before your assigned start time. You can speed up check-in and registration by arriving with a completed and signed release form (required if you registered online) as well as completed ABR licenses applications! Just click on those links to download the proper forms.

5) Please be respectful of our hosts at the Winfield Middle School! ABD and all participants are guests at the school so obey all signage and keep all foot-traffic areas clear! Please note the floors at the School are tile and all participants should bring sandals/slippers to walk around the race/warm-up area.

6) Please be respectful of other riders when warming up and cooling down for your race. Prairie Path Cycles will provide a warm-up area with 16 trainers for all riders 30 minutes before their start!  

7) Please come to the event with a TOWEL and rear trainer compatible skewer already installed on your bike! The skewers are the older, cheaper and heavier ones that have round "knobs" on each end that the trainer can fit on. Towels are large terry cloth pieces of fabric that absorb sweat.

8) At the time of this posting there are 160 riders registered!
