Seattle UTT Course

Cyclevidz.com is pleased to announce the official (but tentative) 2011 Seattle Urban Time Trial course. As you can see from the embedded MapMyRide map, this one will be fun. And challenging, and dangerous, and fast, and scenic. The RCVman has been selected as the initial pilot for the event series (pretty much because everyone else said "no way").

Start/Finish is at Seattle Center, Mercer and 5th. Down 5th to Safeco Field and around to Alaskan Way, all the way North along the waterfront to Broad (up the Broad hill) back to 5th and return to Mercer. 5.86 miles, 308 feet of elevation gain, one signature climb. Entertainment on the fly.

We are in the process of assembling the film crew for the event. Looks like we'll end up using six cameras. Two on the Cervelo, the "A" cam on the trail car, two overheads and a sidewalk static. We have two camera operators at present and need four more. It will be a Sunday morning in the next three weeks. Lunch, transportation and video credit is the deal. E-mail me or respond via the comments tab below if you are interested. You need no prior camera experience, we'll do a crash course at the pre-production set up on event day. Maybe I should pick another term besides 'crash-course', but you get the idea.

Sound like fun?
