\nTime Trials
\nRace 1 of the 2011 Third Thursday Time Trial Series
\nChapparal Cycling Club, as a part of the West Texas Cycling Association, will be hosting monthly Time Trials throughout the summer. They will be incorporated into the Thursday ride that leaves out from Chisum Travel Center at 6:00pm. Warm up will be the ride from the Chisum Travel Center to the staging area at the intersection of Slaton Hwy & FM1585. TT will start no later than 6:45pm. Riders will race the course and then continue on the usual Thursday ride course. Due to our insurance policy, all racers must be a member of the West Texas cycling Association. Membership forms can be found at the back of any WTCA Newsletter. In addition, membership forms will be available at the staging area before the race. The first Time Trial was held on March 17th and had a great turnout with 22 people racing and 5 volunteers. The next Time Trial will be April 21st provided we have volunteers to help put it on. We need one person to be the Official and then a couple corner marshalls and at least one (better to have two) finish judges. Contact Mike Ivins to sign up to volunteer.<\/p>\n
