Does anyone have any insight into the probable road course that will be used for the Augusta Nats? Or the TT course? There is nothing on USAC and I don't expect that to change.

I suspect they'll use the same course as previous editions but I'm only speculating.
One thing is certain, it'll be hot and humid.

any dates yet? i'm too lazy to check myself. i think '17 and '18 nationals were there in case you can strava stalk some rides for the courses. the road course on the closed to traffic military base seems VERY likely. the TT was at a Dam a liitle ways away but quiet roads.

Yes, Aug 8-13 for track in Rock Hill then Aug 23-27 in Augusta. It'll be a busy month for me.

Thanks! Coming from Texas so the heat shouldn't be a big shock just wondering what the profile looked like.

this is close to me - I may have to go; the course doesn't look bad at all!

btw, do they check UCI legal TT bike position? does anybody knows?

The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev

No there are no bike checks for Master's racing. The only exception is if someone sets a national record on a course, the bike must be legal.

USAC deletes or hides many old courses. Annoying.

The TT will be a version of these two, using Range Road and possibly McDuffie Road. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26874004 and https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42666955 The dam route went away after 2017. In 2018 the TT was on base.

The RR will be a loop on base. Probably https://ridewithgps.com/routes/17505446, which they've always used in the past.

What about amateur nats? Not masters.

It’s always been a thing for u23 and juniors. I’ve never had my bike measured there. Did they change the rules?
