APRIL TIME TRIAL
Murphy Dome Time Trial -- April 26th, 2001 -- 12 Miles

The Fairbanks Cycle Club ushered in the start of the summer
bicycle racing season Thursday evening, with the April Murphy
Dome Time Trial. The event was a success, thanks in a large
part to the thoughtful volunteers who showed up to help stage
the event.

The course is relatively short and flat -- a 12 mile out and
back sprint, from the gravel pit on Murphy Dome Road to the
end of the pavement and back.  There are a few rolling hills,
but the overall elevation gain is only a few hundered feet.

Conditions were very agreeable, with light variable winds and
clear skies.

Racers started at 30 second intervals, and pace lines or drafting
was not permitted.  Time Trial races are simple races against the
clock, and techniques such as drafting (riding directly behind a
competitor to reduce air drag) are not permitted.

This marks the first in a series of races scheduled for this summer.
A complete listing of events and membership information can be
