The August YGR Time Trials kick off Tuesday, August 12th, with the Horsetooth Time Trial! Next up is the Taft Hill Time Trial on August 19th, followed by the grand finale—the Double Damn Dams Time Trial—on August 26th.
These are great, no-pressure training races for everyone from experienced pros to first-timers. Categories for all bikes- road, knobby-tired (gravel, cx and mtb) and aero.

The YGR Time Trials have been happening on generally the same courses just outside Fort Collins, CO, since 2009. The individual time trials are open to everyone and all abilities with categories for time trial bikes, mass start legal road bikes and mtb/cx/gravel bikes. The courses range from pretty flat to hilly as hell. The Taft Hill (17 miles) course is pretty flat, while both the Double Damn Dams (12 miles) and Horsetooth (17 miles) courses are hilly as hell. Time on course is, of course, dependent on fitness but ranges from 40 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
August 12th: Horsetooth Time Trial
August 19th: Taft Hill Time Trial
August 26th: Double Damn Dams Time Trial
