Silly helmet time.

The Silvermine Time Trial is a 15 mile out-and-back time trial along Long Meadow Road, a gorgeous country rolling road just outside of Harriman State Park . We will be parking and starting at the International Paper complex, which is located at 1422 Long Meadow Road, Tuxedo NY 10987. Thats the address you should use for mapquest.

We will head Northwest towards 17a, starting on a small rise, rollinga bout 1 mile before you turn and reverse along approximately 7 miles of Long Meadow. At the other side of Long Meadow, near Sloatsburg Road, you will turn again and return to the Start Finish at International Paper. The race effectives goes up and back along Long Meadow. I would consider it a fast course, but there are a few tough rollers each way. It is a great blend of power, speed and fast powerful climbing. In our best estimation, this is a course which might favor a TT bike, or a road bike with aeroclips, yet we would suggest your fastest equipment. This is an important component of the NJBA TT Cup Series. Aero bars, disc wheels and time trial bikes will be permitted for this race.

To accomodate the pre-event creation of exact start times, there will be *No* same-day registration. You must pre-register atBikeReg.

**Important: It is highly recommended that your bring a trainer for warmup. There will be No warming up on the course. Last year, the police were not pleased with the # of riders milling around near the start line. There is absolutely no warming up on the race course. Anyone warming up on the course will be disqualified without exception. And, it may be the case, come race-day, that we can not permit warming up below the course either. So bring a trainer. Make it easy.
