The Florida State Time Trial Championship is a 40 kilometer out and back course in St. Cloud, Florida. It features sightlines that extend almost two miles, totally flat terrain and smooth, fast roads. It is always warm and windy.
Racing in the southeast is great. The fields are big, the bikes are cool, the competition is strong and it is unheard of for me to get in this much racing so early in the season. It is also great to see parts of the region I would never see otherwise.
The first race of the series was held at Vista View Park in Davie, Florida. This park has the distinction of having the only hills in all of Broward County if not all of South Florida.
Topview Sports does an excellent job of organizing and executing this event and Cornelia, Georgia, which is in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is a very nice place to visit and race (it is also the name of our daughter which is really the reason I chose this event....I don't know anyone named Jackson).
