Time trial Profile

A few notes:

1)      This year we are switching to WSBA numbers for the race.  Rental numbers will be available for the race at a cost of $10 to Washington residents ($5 of which is refunded upon return of the number).  Non-WA residents do not have to pay the rental fee.  There will be multiple races in Eastern WA this year that will be using WSBA numbers.  If you have questions about the WSBA and the numbers please e-mail me.  WSBA membership and numbers should be available at the race. 

2)      Weather.  People are often concerned that this race is too early in the season and it’s too cold.  The Snake River Canyon is usually 10 degrees warmer than the Spokane and Pullman areas.  Last year almost all competitors were in shorts for both races

3)      The Hill climb has been pushed back until 2:00 for a couple reasons.  First, it will help in getting the results for the TT done in a timely manner and second we’d like to accommodate anyone who may be racing the Devil’s Slide mountain bike race that same day in Lewiston.

4)      Finally, please try and use the on-line registration for the race.  The promoter is paying the service fee, which means its $20 either way…you will move through registration much quicker if you pay on-line.
