Tyrone Individual Time Trial Route
Begins at the Village of Tyrone, 4.5 miles(7.2km) south of Silver City on NM 90.
Staged in the town of Tyrone, the racing will go on all morning as each rider tackles the course alone. The course is wide open with plenty of places along the roadside to observe the racers as each one tackles the course alone. The start/finish area in Tyrone is a great place to get a close-up look at the athletes and their equipment as they warm up. Racers leave at 30-second intervals and battle the clock and 1000 ft. (304.8 m) of climbing.
With the stages being re-ordered in 2025, only UCI athletes will race against the clock. The Tyrone Individual Time Trial will be stage one for this group. Racers competing in USA Cycling categories get to enjoy more road racing instead of riding the ITT.
