Pleasant Prairie Triathlon Bike Course and Tips

Pleasant Prairie, WI, August 2008

Pleasant Prairie Bike Course
 
Sprint Course and second half of International Course:
Exit parking lot to Hwy 165
Left on Hwy 165
There are two "hills" right away -- actually, two overpasses.
Right on 72nd Ave to 108th St, turn left
Preschool at the corner of 165 and 72nd Ave.
Right on Green Bay Road
If riding the course before the race -- there are groves on the shoulder so ride to the right (outside). Careful crossing traffic to Springbrook
.
Left on Springbrook Rd
There is a nice gentle downhill on Springbrook as you approach and cross Hwy 165. This is a place you can pick up some real speed. You'll need some, because there is an uphill right before you get to 39th Ave.
Right on 39th Avenue
Left on 93rd St
Rough road here (particularly the last half), so be careful.
Left on Dabbs Farm Road
Left on Old Green Bay Road
Bit of an uphill right after you turn, and downhill as you approach 165.
Right on Hwy 165
Back to Prairie Springs Park
Remember those "hills" again. Actually, coming back they don't seem as bad. On the second one you can pick up some real speed on the downhill, but be in control.
Right into Park and back to the transition area.
