IT'S HAMMER TIME!!
Cadence Multisports, LLC and
Gear West are pleased to announce the 4th Annual Tuesday Night Time Trial Series. We have 8 races on the schedule for the 2008 season and we once again welcome all roadies, triathletes, time-trialists, and anyone else who thinks that they're fast to put the rubber to the road and show us their stuff.
The Draft Legal Team TT is back for a third season! We had even more teams come out last year and we're hoping to up the competition even more this year with the addition of a 4th team night. Gear West holds the current TTT course record of 21:30.7, but word on the street is there are some teams up for the challenge and looking to be crowned as kings of the pace line in '08.
Pre-registration for all our events is now open. You can register online at
Gear West or mail in a
printable entry form. Race day registration is also available starting at 6:00p.m. and running until rider capacity is met or 10min prior to the start of the event. Due to sunset times and rider safety we are capping all events at 75 riders. We therefore do encourage participants to sign up in advance as we can't guarantee that we will have open spots on race day. You will also get a discount again this year for registering in advance for the series (either on-line or via mail-in).

Time Trialing is a sport that is enjoyed by young and old alike. Its popularity lies in the fact that every rider can set his or her own standards and, unlike other forms of racing, nobody gets the feeling that they are being left behind.
In a time trial, you may finish many minutes behind the event winner, yet have the satisfaction of recording a personal best time. Thus, time trials are unique, in that it is possible for everyone to be a winner.
Who Can Participate?
As long as you have a bike, a helmet, and are at least 10 years old you can come out and race at the T'N'T.
(under 18 must have a parent/legal guardian sign a waiver)
Course Description
The T'N'T series is held on an 11 mile out and back course (see
schedule for event dates) along the smooth, fast, and rolling roads of County Road 24 in Medina, MN. Tuesday Night Time Trials are a
ABR Sanctioned Event and all ABR Time-Trial rules will be enforced. The course is
NOT closed to traffic, however, the turn around is controlled by Medina Law enforcement and T'N'T event staff. The event is a
RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK and all cyclists must observe and obey all
Minnesota Traffic Laws and wear a certified snell or ansi hard-shelled helmet while on the bike at all times.

T'N'T has an entry capacity of 75 riders (not including teams) per Time Trial. We strongly recommend that you register online and in advance to ensure that you have a spot come race-day. Pre-registration for all our events is now open and you can register online at
