    TMD Stage 18 - Uphill Time Trial Allow extra time to arrive and get rider number assignments. First rider starts at 3PM exactly and at one-minute intervals after that. Any rider not in the starting queue at the assigned time will be disqualified. There are a few hazards to point out. Please take care going around the gate at Sanders Gate Rd. and the gate at the start of Uphill Rd also there are sharp downhill corners on the loop at the top around Tophill Rd. The course will be inspected prior to the event and these corners will be swept. There will be signs marking the route. Once you finish your 'ride' stay at the top, finishing area until ALL riders complete the route - to minimize any danger of riders decending while other riders are completing the climb causing confusion or congestion with auto traffic or foot traffic. Any rider that ignores this rule will be disqualified. For comparison: Spickert Knob = 1.3 miles and 414 ft. vertical gain Iroquois route = 5 miles and 430 ft. vertical gain https://ridewithgps.com/routes/24116166
