This Type 1 Diabetic appreciates you posting this! I wasn't aware of this event. Even though it's about a 10 hr drive for me, I'm very tempted.

Well, it's in my backyard, but I had already signed up for Tri Insanity in Danville. :(

i wish more TTs like this were available, seems perfect. lock in that position and power and go. No traffic, no cones to go round, sheltered by the bank. perfect

not as free flowing as you would think from my experience. lots of riders to dodge unless you are the slowest rider out there and they don't all follow the rules and keep right either, causing longer ride lines when passing, at least that is how it was at Lowes for me. plus it seems some folks cant count laps very well and get dq'd for too many or too few

Silly of me to not mention that WBR is partnered with Tour de Cure and the ADA for this event. We even have a Red Rider category.

So 100 mile starts at 10am. 40k TT at 11 and 40k TTT at 12. So are there TT's and drafting 100 milers on track at the same time? This seem like chaos.

Also. The Tour De Cure page has a 7:30 and 7:45 am start time for 4 different rides. So do all of these happen on the same day? I'm confused. The times don't seem to line up to allow for a reasonable race/ride on the track.

ha ha ... DQ for "too many"? What if I just want to get my money's worth and keep riding 'round and 'round?

I'm so in..... :D

Great chance for a great workout that also will do a lot of good. Love that it supports WBR.

The masses go off between 7:45 and 8am and 90% of those riders exit the track after one lap. Our events start after that when the track is fairly empty. It's fairly wide open. No incidents or complaints last year.

Thanks! I was interested but I am 4 hours away. Didn't want to drive over just to ride on the track with 2000 other people. So the 100 mile drafting ride stays on the track and starts after the other 100 mile ride. Correct?

Josh...

This sounds really cool, and I am definitely interested (I'm in Dayton, OH...fairly close). However, the website times don't match your post:

10am- 100 mile
11am- 40k individual time trial (30 second starts in order
registered)
High Noon- 40K team time trial (2 minute starts in order registered)
1pm- Brickyard hot laps

Looks to me like the track would be pretty crowded for the 40K TTers. Am I missing something?

I did the event a couple years back. The track was mixed with large groups, as well as large open pockets of clear smooth pavement.

They have also raised the fundraising minimum I think. The year I participated, I believe the donation minimum was only $125.

I was planning on doing it until I found out that the century riders would be on the track at the same time. Initially, I was told that they would be on the road course portion of the track. Too much potential for problems from my perspective.

I did this last year and it was a blast! Such a cool experience to be out there riding on the track and I had no problem navigating around the group. It's a fun, unique option, and for a good cause! Super cool.

Sounds like a blast! I'm seriously considering it! Only 200 miles from Chicago. :-)

I'm definitely going to be there, but I'm also concerned about the Century riders (and shorter distance riders) being on the track at the same time as the TT riders. There are pictures on their Facebook page that show a TT racer starting with full families and children on the track in the background.
