Hello! We are proceeding with our plan by making some minor adjustments. Thank you to Coach Evrett and teammate Nettie for doing our trail reconnaissance following this morning storms. Give them a high five tonight. We will delay the start for one hours and follow the schedule below:
Riders Ready! Meet your teammates at Branched Oak Lake for the second annual Tellinghuisen Time Trial*. This event is built around the need to get new athletes comfortable riding closer to race pace using all the skills they have learned so far. Returning athletes can gauge how much progress they have made since last season.
Schedule
- 5:00 p.m.: Set up and Eat
- 6:15 p.m.: Preride Groups
- 7:15 p.m.: Staged Time Trial
Parking: Please find a spot along the east side of the road to park. This will keep our eating and our staging area free of conflicts. Drop items off at the trailhead and then proceed ahead to park north or south of the trailhead area.
Eating: We will have tents and tables set up in the grass north of the trailhead tonight. This will work well for our potluck food. Please enjoy the meal in your lawn chairs with other teammates. I’ll put on my bug spray. I suggest you do the same away from the meal area. As we get closer to 6:00 PM, I’ll be grabbing your attention to go over some instructions for the event.
Toilets and Water: The map below shows where some areas are that have toilets and water fill stations if you need.
*The event is named after Seth Tellinghuisien (Alumni 2021). Seth’s teamwork, positive character example, and his competitive spirit exemplified the best of what NICA has to offer for student athletes.
