Held under USAC permit 2012-22, all USAC rules apply.

Race Results

COURSE

A unique 30 km (~18.5 miles) ITT course: an out-and-back on the fairly smooth Park Link Dr, which connects the I-10 Frontage Rd near Red Rock to US-79. Good Pavement, LOW traffic, and a little elevation gain on the outbound leg to make it interesting. First rider off at 9:00 AM. Start order based upon registration (first to register is first to start). Perfect training for Valley of the Sun stage Race!

Traffic should be light, and race volunteers will be directing traffic at the start/finish and turnaround, but keep in mind that the course IS OPEN to traffic, so stay as far to the right as is safe and reasonable at all times. There will be porta-johns and an EMT on-site. Don't have all that fancy aero gear, or want to time trial in the old style?? This race will keep the Merckx Open category for the new-comers, old-schoolers and purists!
