Welcome to Aggieland and the A&M Cycling Team's 40 km Individual Time Trial.
We have designed this time trial as both a USCF and collegiate racing event.
We would appreciate it if you would pass this race announcement along to other
racers (either USCF licensees or citizens), triathletes, and those who might
be interested in competitive cycling as a sport or hobby.

The course which we have selected is along a portion of Texas FM highways 50
and 1361 beginning about 7 miles west of College Station.  The route is an
out-and-back course and is flat except for one small hill just before the
turnaround cone.

Collegiate racers who are also USCF licensees may register in a collegiate
category as well as one USCF category.  Dual USCF and collegiate racers may
can earn points for a collegiate team and be eligible for the USCF prize
list.  USCF-only licensees may only register for a single race category.

The starting order for the time trial will be determined by the prior time
trial time you give us (if any), your USCF road category (if any), and your
NCCA racing category (if any).  We will try to the best of our ability to
place racers in "fastest last" order.

The start order will be posted on Friday, Oct. 9, from 5-10 p.m. at the late
registration desk in the lobby of the Memorial Student Center on the campus
of Texas A&M University.  It will also be posted at the start/finish area
on race day.

If you have any questions or would like more information, call me, Rodnay
Bowden (race director) at 409-764-0546.  To register, either come to the
late registration desk on Friday, Oct. 9 between 5 and 10 p.m. in the
Memorial Student Center or at on-site registration between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m.
on race day, Saturday, Oct. 10 (directions are below).

Although it's late, you may also mail your registration.  Send the entry
form at the bottom of this announcement to:

The course is 40 km out-and-back starting at the Headquarters of the Texas A&M
Farm which is 2 miles south of the intersection of highways 50 and 60.  The
route of the course follows highway 50 south to highway 1361 (9.6 km), turn
right (approx. 60 degree turn) on 1361 and travel west to the turnaround cone
(10.4 km) and return along the same course.  The sheriff's department has
offered to control the intersection of highways 50 and 1361.

The race distance for all categories of this race is 40 km.  Race will be held
rain or shine.

College Station is located between Austin, Houston, and Dallas/Ft. Worth.

From Dallas/Ft. Worth and Houston, use Highway 6 to College Station and take
highway 60 (also called University Dr. and the Raymond Stotzer Parkway at
different places) west from College Station.  The intersection with highway 50
is about 7 miles out of College Station and about a mile past the Brazos River.
Turn left (south) on highway 50 and travel 2 miles to the Headquarters of the
A&M Farm which is the staging area.

From Austin or San Antonio, take highway 21 toward Bryan.  Turn south on
highway 50 before reaching Bryan, continue past highway 60, and travel 2 more
miles until you reach the staging area at the Headquarters of the A&M Farm.
