About this event
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!
For 2023, the Lone Pine Time Trials Committee celebrates our 53rd Anniversary/52nd running – Over 50 years of flat-out-fun! This event is conducted in memory of Craig and Renee Angel, and one of long time friends and competitors, Bill Rosensteel.
You’ll get a big course that’s over 2 miles long, run one way on Saturday and the other on Sunday. Depending on the turnout, competitors will get at least four timed runs each day and fun runs are always a good possibility after the final group is done. This course will provide a challenge for all whether in modified, prepared, street prepared, stock or vintage. Don’t be left to hear the stories from all your friends of a great weekend – Be There! Check out this descriptive video from 2017.
