Parking, check-in, and finish line at Crow Middle/High School. The startline is 1.4 miles from the school. The 15.6 mile Time Trial competition will cover one full (8.5 mile) lap and one partial (7.1 mile) lap of the Chilly Crow Time Trial Course (junior categories will compete 7.1 miles). Riders will start at 30 second intervals, with larger gaps between categories, starting at 9:00am.
The course includes a descent that is smooth and straight with long lines of sight, but will be very fast. Previewing the course to assess whether the use of aerobars is appropriate for a rider of your skill level is recommended. New chipseal on Petzold Road is rough, but consistent.
Entry Fees: $35 for Adults and $20 for Juniors.
Registration will be open online at twilightoperations.com until noon on September 24th. The startlist will be emailed to registered riders (or the email of the person completing the registration) by noon on September 25th. No on-site registration will be available.
OBRA license required for all participants (either a $5 one-event license or $40 annual license, available at the time of registration or at obra.org); a 2021 OBRA license required for placement on the OBRA championship podium.
Please wear your OBRA racing number on your right side. If you are not an OBRA member, temporary numbers will be available for pickup from 8:30-9:30am. Each rider (or their guardian) must have a signed waiver on file.

Important Race Information:
The CENTERLINE will be enforced around the entire course. Traffic at intersections will be controlled for cornering IN YOUR LANE ONLY. Violations of this rule may result in disqualification upon the first offense. The roads are not closed, and all participants are expected to prioritize safety.
Overtaking riders should call out LOUDLY and pass on the left (but to the right of the centerline) while riding single file.
All starting riders must complete their race or communicate their withdrawal with the finishline OBRA officials.
Important Race Info:
Do not use Crow Rd or Central Rd for your warmup after 9am. DO NOT pass the start or finish lines after 9am unless you are racing. Officials may penalize racers for unnecessarily crossing the finish line wearing a number. Vaughn Road, Wolf Creek, or your trainer are recommended for warmup. Ride single file and staying to the right when riding the startline for your start time.
Helmets are required anytime you are on the bike, before, during, or after the race.
Racers are expected to stay to the right as possible unless overtaking another rider (or avoiding drafting). On Crow Road, this includes the very lovely and wide shoulder. Minimizing unnecessary impact on local traffic is important for the continuation of the event.
{Eddy category specific rules: Riders in the class will compete without: aero bars or extensions, disc wheel, fairings, aero helmets (any helmet specifically built as an aero helmet and any helmet that has been modified to approximate a helmet specifically built as a TT helmet is not allowed), skinsuits, or wheels with rims greater than 40mm in depth. Bicycles which may have aerodynamic shapes but are designated to be sold as road bicycles (and are not user modified time trial bicycles) ARE allowed.}
