LAMBRA Time Trial Championship

The LAMBRA Time Trial Championship is a USAC-sanctioned individual time trial held in LaPlace, Louisiana, and promoted by the New Orleans Bicycle Club. Competitors race solo against the clock over distances of 40 km, 20 km, or 10 km. The shorter distances are designated for younger junior participants. This event caters to the Louisiana/Mississippi racing circuit and utilizes a posted start list, allowing riders to know their precise start time prior to arrival. Most adult and older-category participants contest the 40 km course. Juniors are divided into age bands starting from 9-12 years old, and masters categories are organized in five-year increments up to 70+. A unique option is the Merckx Style competition: 40 km participants can vie for separate top-three medals while adhering to specific equipment rules. These include using standard road handlebars, excluding aero bars, employing wheels with a minimum of 16 spokes, and prohibiting full disc wheels. Advance registration is mandatory, with participants limited to entering one class or category. The start order within categories is determined by USAC road time-trial ranking points.
