Placid Planet Bicycles
Time Trial Series 2026

The annual Placid Planet Bicycles Spring Time Trial Series will run for six weeks starting Wednesday, May 6 and continuing weekly through June 10. The time trials are held on River Road in Lake Placid, starting from near the ski jumps (intersection with NYS Route 73). There is limited parking at the start/finish area (must be off the road!); a better option is to park at the steel bridge one  mile north on River Road and cycle to the start.
 

The course is an out-and-back, turning around at a traffic cone just before River Rd. hits Rt. 86, total just shy of 8 miles. Be there by 6pm; first rider goes at 6:30 pm. Entry is free and any kind of bicycle is acceptable, but helmets are required. Participants must sign a waiver, and parents must sign for those under 18.
 

There are competitions for men’s and women’s series champions. Bragging rights and prizes are the payout. It is a points series: get 1 point for showing up, 1 point for bettering your previous best time of the year, and 1 point for fastest time of the evening (both men and women that is). 
 

Anyone can win!
