2009 Druber's 40K Time Trial Challenge

Beat this guy??
Beat Mark Schwartzendruber in a time trial you say? Well, here is your chance! On August 23rd, Mark and his Scarlet Fire Racing Team will be putting on "The Drubber 40K Challenge " sponsored by Verizon Wireless in downstate, Tolono, Illinois. Ride and race on the roads that Druber uses as his training grounds. Anyone beating Drubber's time wins $50.00 bucks in cold hard cash!

The race also features a "Naked" time trial category. This category is really not for the faint of heart. It refers to doing a time trial on a stripped down, standard road racing machine. Maximum rim depth is 40mm and a minimum of 28 spokes per wheel will be allowed. Riders signing up for this category must wear standard helmets. No "shark fins" or aero bars will be allowed. Any male going under 59 minutes in this category gets $50.00. Any female besting 1:04:00 gets $50. Prize money will be payed out in each category. See the race flyer links below for further details :
