Wednesday 6:00 pm during Daylight Savings Time - Kings Lake Time Trial. Kings Lake is located off Davis Blvd between Airport Pulling road and Santa Barbara Blvd. It has a 2.5 mile loop just inside the entrance. We generally do 20 miles (8 laps) but in threat of rain it can always be shortened. We occasionally change it to 25 or 15 miles with group consensus. Parking is best at the east end of the Publix center parking lot next to Kings Lake. Begin arriving at 5:30 pm for warm up lap(s). From the parking lot, exit via the road in the SE corner which will take you directly to the loop (40 yards). The Stop sign at this entrance to the loop is the official starting point and we aim to begin promptly at 6:00pm. We will quickly line up, slower to faster. Each rider is responsible for his or her own time and will report at the end. Once we begin, each rider will leave at 30 second intervals. Time Trial rules apply - it is an individual event. NO DRAFTING. There is a bar in the shopping center for those that may need beverages following the ride. Come out when you can. It is a great way to gauge your riding level and improvement over the summer. Contact Michael Dill at 239-304-1000, ext 2212 or email if any questions
