All About the 2010 Harpoon ITT

Print this page  |  

January 30, 2010 at the Harpoon Brewery in Boston 

 

ABOUT THE HARPOON ITT

EXTREME CYCLING AND EXTREMELY GOOD BEER

 
The Harpoon ITT is not a joy ride. It is an acid test of the cyclist’s physical and mental limits. Do you have what it takes to secure the Harpoon Podium Bar Stool, where the fastest male and female riders will watch the competition tear out their hearts to unseat them?  Want to rehydrate with a freshly brewed Harpoon while the cycling world’s elite go beyond the boundaries of human performance in the Pro Races? 
   
In more restrained terms, The Harpoon Indoor Time Trial presented by Fast : Splits Multisport is an indoor cycling event in which contestants compete for the fastest time on a fixed course using stationary trainers.   The Harpoon ITT celebrates the intensity of indoor cycling and the camaraderie of a post competition beer. Guests and spectators are welcome.
 
The Harpoon ITT will be held at the Harpoon Brewery in Boston on Saturday, January 30, 2010.  Fast : Splits Multisports will supply the Computrainers and organize the competition over an 8K course. Course times will range from approximately 20 to 40 minutes.  A professional announcer provides analysis and color commentary while a disk jockey keeps the music, hearts, and legs pumping (theme from Rocky is prohibited). And where else but the Harpoon Brewery can you drink a fresher, tastier beer?

2010 HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Harpoon Barstool Podium, located at the center of the action and supplied by beer straight from the source, will be held by the current fastest male and female cyclists. They must surrender their Barstool, however, to cyclists that beats their time. 
 
The Pro Races will feature some of the region’s best cyclists and what will surely be some of the most intense racing of the winter. 24 Computrainers will be set up in Harpoon Brewery’s Arena of Pain, with real time competition results projected onto large format screens. The Tap Room is only steps away!

WHAT IS AN INDOOR TIME TRIAL (ITT)?

Indoor Time Trials are popping up all over the world for some off-season competitive bike racing. Riders race on their own bikes on laboratory matched CompuTrainers. The riders feel exactly the same loads they would feel on the road at the same speed, grade and gear.
 
In an indoor time trial the riders line up side by side in groups of eight facing a large screen showing the course profile, each rider's position on the course, and each rider's race data including distance, elapsed time, and instantaneous/average/peak speed and power. After the race the results from all the heats will be posted on site so that the participants will know where they stand in the comparison to all the other racers.
 
The Harpoon ITT will run 3 sets of eight Computrainers, for 24 racers per heat.
