For anyone with a car and feels like traveling out to Long Island. A friend has setup a ITT event, mostly for fun and on the honer system. He has put together a Facebook group which I have invited those whom I have listed as friends to. Results would be sent to him and he will work on a leaderboard. He might do different categories based on equipment, aka those in full TT gear vs those who do not have that option. It's mostly for fun and to get by during this time. The April TT is located on the old NYS TT championships course. Here is a description of the April events:
Course #1: Calverton, April 2020
Location: Intersection of Grumman Blvd and Line Rd
Approximate start line: The speed limit sign just past the intersection of Grumman Blvd and Line Rd
Course map available on Garmin Connect
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/31371029
Length: 1 lap, 10km
April Weekends (4,5,11,12,18,19,25,26)
Race #1 7-9am
Race #2 9-11am
Race #3 11am-1pm
Race #4 1-3pm
Race #4 3-5pm
Race #5 5-7pm
This is one of my favorite courses. Good pavement, slight winds, excellent sight lines, and safe intersections. There's a big ring hill shortly after the start, but the rest of the course is flat.
I figure we could start this series with 1 lap efforts, then maybe progress to 2 lap efforts in May. Also, most folks could do more than one effort during a training session, so if you have to drive out there you can make the most of your day.
Starting Point: There's a speed limit sign just east of Line Rd on Grumman Blvd that serves as a starting point. The course runs clockwise, and there are 4 right hand turns.
Right Turn 1: just past the golf course, onto River Rd
Right Turn 2: onto Wading River Manor Rd (you'll know you're going hard enough if you never notice the large bull statue on your right)
Right Turn 3: bear right to continue onto Wading River Manor Rd
Right Turn 4: swing right back onto Grumman Blvd, the finishing straight.
Finish Line: keep going until the double yellow line ends at Line Rd
There are places to park along Line Rd should you need to drive out to the course. Remember though to keep your distance from others!
You can make shorter loops by cutting through the course along Line Rd.
