Davis 12/24 hour time trial

Davis Bike Club's 12 and 24 hour time trial. The goal is to see how far you can ride in either 12 or 24 hours, we picked the 12 hour race. The course follows the Davis Double Century from Winters to Clear Lake and back to Winters. The Day loop is 162.5 miles, (8,000 ft.of climbing). Great event. My first look at the Ultra Marathon Cycling Association, and I like what I see.

Official timekeeper called out how many minutes until the time trial start...

The big board announces which rider is next. Riders start every 15 seconds.
