PARKING
IMPORTANT! Please park only within the designated parking areas along the roadside between the start/finish and the entrance to the parking lot ONLY. Please do not park in the Swamp Tours parking lot. Do not park along the roadside between the entrance to the parking lot and the overpass in order to avoid problems with traffic entering the I-55 North onramp.

Course is out and back on HWY 51. Road is generally smooth and fast. Turnaround will
be about a 1/2 mile before the manchac overpass (except for 10km and 20km age groups). Course will be closed to most, but not all,
traffic.
COURSE MAP
DIRECTIONS
From New Orleans, take I-10 west to Laplace and
exit north at Hwy 51. From Baton Rouge, take I-10 east to Laplace and exit
north at Hwy. 51. Parking will be alongside the road about 1/4 mile north of I-10.
RACE NOTES
Warm-up space will be extremely limited so we suggest bringing a stationary trainer. Riders will not be allowed to warm up on Hwy 51 south of the I-55 on-ramp. Approved helmets must be worn.
Course will be closed to most traffic but keep your head
up at all times. Occasionally a stray car may wander onto the course. Please be
on time to register. We are lucky enough to have road closure but must be
finished within a reasonable time. Parking will be available on the shoulder of
Hwy 51. USAC Championship Medals will be given out to the first 3 in each category/age group. Riders will
go off at 1 minute intervals. NO DRAFTING! The race will be re-scored in order to award LAMBRA LCCS points according to the standard LCCS classifications. 55+ Masters who wish to be scored for LCCS points as 40+ must indicate that at registration. JUNIORS: Please have your bike available at registration for rollout. Blocked gears will be allowed. See the USAC Rulebook for details on Junior gear restrictions.
