BLACK BUTTE PRACTICE TRI:

We will be holding a practice event on August 21, 2021, at Buckhorn Campground at Black Butte Lake in Orland, CA. Time and details to be announced.

Swims: One Mile open water swim has returned. Friday morning swim workout at One Mile/Sycamore pool meet between 6:30-7 am and swim for an hour or for as long or short as you want. Don't forgot to not leave any valuables unattended.

In Motion pool is open.

The River Road TTs:   

This is a no-cost no-prize barely-organized race series, put on by the one and only DR. Eric Ayars truly in memory of Rodney, who is apparently dead or something because nobody's seen him at a bike event for years now. They will be held on the first Thursday of the month until October or so.

The course is a nearly-flat out-and-back beginning where 5th Street becomes River Road as it leaves town heading west. Sign-ups begin at 5:30 PM (ish) and riders will be started at 1-minute intervals beginning at 6:01 PM.

The rules:

(1) Helmet required. The road is open to traffic; assume all the drivers are homicidal maniacs talking on cellphones.

(2) No drafting, as defined by USAT rules: If you come within three bike-lengths of someone, pass them on the left within 25 seconds. If you get passed, drop back to more than 3 bike lengths behind them before attempting to re-pass them. Nobody is enforcing this rule, though: it just comes down to this being a race between you and the clock so keep other people out of it.

(3) Attempting to bribe the timer by bringing a dog treat for Suki is allowed.

(4) Times will be posted on the Chico Triathlon Club website when he gets around to it.

 Thank you, Eric Ayars, for hosting the TTs.
