BIKE AROUND THE WORLD IN 48 HOURS!
The Texas Time Trials, October 19-21, 2006

That's exactly what approximately 130 racers did in Cleburne, Texas during The 2006 Texas Time Trials, resulting in a 30% increase in racers over 2005. Joining racers from 25 states, there was also an entry from the UK. In 2006 TTTT was a series of 4 races, The Tejas 500, 24-Hour Time Trial, the UMCA 12-Hour North American Championship and the 6-Hour Time Trial and every race had exciting races within each race.

Every course brings it's own challenges...   see full report ->

Many of us have fallen in love with cycling in the Cleburne/Glen Rose area. Although the peaks are not as spectacular as the Rocky Mountains, nor the winds as strong as Florida or Hawaii, indeed there is enough climbing, wind and other "Texas hospitality" to make this a challenging 20-mile loop. So challenging that no one has yet to crack the 425-mile standard for RAAM qualification in the 24-hour venue, which spawned a longer 500-mile qualifier after the first year. The 12- and 6-hour versions have also become very popular, mixing road racers and triathletes into the regular ultracycling mix. Even the 12-hour race has never reported an average speed breaking... more ->

Registration thus far for the 2006 Texas Time Trials is at an all time high. Registrations are coming in daily. We have registrations from Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah, California, Wisconsin, New York, Georgia, Virginia, Colorado and of course Texas.

Have you seen the Texas Time Trials Trophies? They are the best! And here are some tips guaranteed to get you one:

• We have never had a Male-Male Tandem team enter this race, doing so would almost assure you of a pair of first place Trophies.
• Also, currently we do not yet have any Single Females signed up for the 6 or the 24 hour event.
• As of today we have no Mixed Tandems signed up for any event, nor do we have any Mixed teams for the 12 or 24 hour races.
• We do have two person and four person (all male) teams for The Tejas 500, a female-female 12 hour tandem team, a 24 hour recumbent, a 12 hour mixed team, and a two person 12 hour recumbent team.
• We now have a NEW race division, single speed Chopper bikes, he signed up for the 24 hour race.

I really like some of the Team names we are getting, today "Team Assassin" signed up. So, hurry and send your registration forms in today and If you want to earn a trophy the easy way, just heed these insider tips.
