Tymor race map or GPS link

[joeschaar]

Hello all,

I have never been to Tymor. I understand that it is private land. Does anyone have a Map of last year's course or a GPS link to last year's course?

Also how does pre-riding work? Do they let people ride the day before?

Cheers,

"slow" Joe

Here is a random gps link from last years race:

No idea if it will be the same course.

I think you can preride there, but don't park in their main lot with NJ plates. It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

Just went to the event website - looks like only pre-ride is Saturday, the 14th? (in small print towards bottom of page)

that climb up the back side looks bananas.

the one from last years course was tame, the one from 2009 was like stright up a ski hill.

The actual course may be different but the idea is the same:

First half: fun and fast
Second half: up, down

There's a paved road splitting the 2 parts. It's literally like going from Allaire to Allamuchy (but not with rocks). This is a tough one to race on SS because there really is no right gear.

SSaP strategy may be deployed

32x17. Jk. It's a long walk up that SB across the street.

Yeah and the rain didn't help. That was awful.

 

[RNG1]

Yeah but I thought last years course was great. I plan to do this as my first
H2h Cat1.

No promises that this is the final course, but if you do a search on garmin connect for the last seven days in the Tymor Park area, you'll find four that all look the same:

Here is the search if you want to see the others:

maybe it was just 4 people riding together

 

[JimN]

That's quite possible. However, they say H2H in the title, they are all the same loop and posted on different days, one mentions something about removing down trees, and one has the promoter's name in it. :hmmm:

I have no insider knowledge and make no claim that this is definitively the race course, but if I was going to drive up there and pre-ride, this is what I would load onto my Garmin. Or you can just wait until the day before the race to pre-ride, when the course will presumably be marked already.

Don't mind RNG1, he doesn't know where a finish line is. 🙂

I'd say your Sherlock Holmes work is pretty damn accurate.

Damn right, get this guy on finding this Bin Laden character.

Check the Arabian Sea. What do I win?

 

[RNG1]

Interesting approach, so you obviously don't go by the theory that he is in a cave I guess.

 

[Norm]

Like I said, no clue about finish lines.

Haha, someone's living in a cave, but it isn't Bin Laden.
