Organiser's description

DIRECTIONS
Head north on US 395 from Reno to exit 80, Whites Lake Parkway. Turn West over the overpass and park in the big lot at the intersection of the Frontage Road and Whites Lake Parkway..
PARKING
Early season the lot closes at 7pm so if your start time is before 6:30 you should be able to make it back if you hurry, otherwise park on the shoulder, late season lot closes at 8pm. Make sure that you are as far off the road as possible. Do not park in the first 30 yards or so south from the gate as this is the registration and event staging area.

For multiple lap events you will turn North on the frontage road and complete another lap or two.
TIME TRIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Registration will open by 5:15 and close by 6:15. Late registrants will be allowed.
Start times are issued in order of registration. First to register, first to start, etc.
DO NOT LOITER around the finish area to find out your time. I am usually busy trying to accurately get the times of the other riders while they finish. Not only do you provide a distraction to me, you create a safety hazard to those finishing in more than one way.
Merckx Style TT is an event with no Aero Equipment Allowed, with the exception of wheels it would be the same bike and equipment you would use in a mass start event. Wheels with a rim depth of more than 50mm, Aero Helmets, Aero Bars, and TT Specific Frames will race in their own category.
