Join us for the 2021 Lung Buster Time Trial Series!
The Lung Buster Time Trial series is a five-part series of competitive cycling events. The events take place here in Western North Carolina at five different routes, and the goal is to provide a fun, competitive cycling experience for cyclists while adhering to safe social distancing guidelines. All levels and abilities are welcome!
Each standalone course will be marked on the road with paint and available to ride for one month, and then we'll move on to the next one. You can also continue to try to beat your personal time on each course (and update your results on Race Roster) as many times as you like while it's open.
In order to keep this as fun and competitive throughout the month as possible, please upload your results each time you do the ride so that we have current results and standings. Some folks waited til the very last minute to upload results and this takes the fun out of the ongoing friendly competition when someone is holding out on posting results til the last minute of the last day of the race.
Our unique mix of different racing environments allows riders of different strengths and focuses to level the playing field amongst competitors. Whether you’re an elite time trial champion or a recreational rider on that old mountain bike that's been gathering dust in the garage, come out and join the Lung Buster!
We are also pleased to announce that we have finalized plans for an in-person, grand finale event at Jump Off Rock! And, you get to register for free if you're already in this series!
The event will be scored on it's own and open to the public, but you can choose to use your in-person time as a submission for this series if you like. If not, you can still participate in the in-person event and use a separate virtual submission for this series - the choice is yours!
If you're already registered for the Lung Buster series, you'll be receiving registration instructions for the in-person race registration soon. You're certainly not required to attend the in-person event, but we wanted to give all our series participants the option.

So, how does it work?
Great question!
The 2021 LBTT Series consists of 5 standalone rides. Each course will be marked with paint on the road and available for results posting for one month. You can ride the course and post your times whenever you like each month, and you can edit your times as you master the course and shave off seconds. We received lots of great feedback from our 2020 series and cyclists would like for you to post up your results each time you try the ride. This keeps the competition lively and ongoing throughout the month.
Each ride will be scored entirely separate from the others. We will not have an overall series standings list or winners this year, so make each individual ride count!
New for 2021:
1. Individual and/or 2 Person Team: Additional offering in the series! Now you have the ability to ride as an individual or with another person (new 2 person 'team'). If you are riding with a friend, please both post the exact same time and screenshot to the correct 2-Person Team category (Male/Male, Female/Female, Male/Female). You can post once in each category for all 5 events. So, you can post a total of 20 times (4 categories x 5 events).
2. Participants have ONE MONTH to complete each ride and to make as many attempts to better your time!
