SUMMARY:SKR Shaw Crank Redemption 20k Gravel TT
DESCRIPTION:The Shaw Crank Redemption 20k Gravel TT (Time Trial) is an exhilarating cycling event sponsored by Stray Kats Racing as part of the Mid-America Time Trial Series (MATTS). Held in the rugged terrain of Manteno\, Illinois\, this race challenges riders with a 20-kilometer (12.4-mile) out-and-back course that blends gravel and pavement\, offering a unique test of speed\, skill\, and adaptability. Cyclists start at one-minute intervals\, racing solo against the clock on a route that demands precision and endurance\, with no drafting permitted to ensure a true individual effort. Open to a wide range of participants\, the event features categories for juniors\, adults\, masters\, recumbents\, tandems\, and hand-cyclists\, with riders choosing between time trial bikes or standard road bikes—the latter limited to non-aero setups without tri-bars or disc wheels. Points earned contribute to the MATTS season standings\, providing a competitive edge for series contenders. Medals are awarded five deep in each category\, with cash prizes recognizing the fastest overall men\, women\, and juniors\, making this a standout gravel time trial in the Midwest cycling community. \n  \nShaw Crank Redemption 20k Gravel TT Weather\nEarly September weather in Manteno offers a pleasant transition from summer\, with morning temperatures ranging from 60-70°F at a typical 8:00 AM start—ideal for a crisp\, comfortable ride. Humidity averages 65-75%\, keeping it mildly sticky but manageable—bring a bottle for hydration as it warms later. Winds blow at 8-12 mph\, often from the south or southwest\, providing a tailwind one way and a gentle headwind the other—pace accordingly to leverage the breeze. There’s a 20-30% chance of light showers\, though early September mornings are usually dry and clear—check forecasts closer to race day for any last-minute adjustments to gear or tires. \nTravel Directions\n\nFrom Milwaukee\, WI (110 miles southwest): Take I-94 W south ~80 miles to I-294 S\, exit at I-57 S (Exit 277)\, go south 25 miles to Manteno Exit 322\, turn right onto 9000N Rd\, go 7 miles to 6000W Rd\, turn left\, follow 2.5 miles to 6641 N 6000W Rd—camp entrance is on your left (2-2.25 hr drive).\nFrom Madison\, WI (130 miles southeast): Drive south on I-90 E ~100 miles to I-39 S\, merge onto I-57 S via I-94 (Exit 97)\, go south 25 miles to Manteno Exit 322\, turn right onto 9000N Rd\, go 7 miles to 6000W Rd\, turn left\, follow 2.5 miles to 6641 N 6000W Rd—camp entrance is on your left (2.25-2.5 hr drive).\nFrom Chicago\, IL (50 miles southwest): Take I-57 S ~45 miles to Manteno Exit 322\, turn right onto 9000N Rd\, go 7 miles to 6000W Rd\, turn left\, follow 2.5 miles to 6641 N 6000W Rd—camp entrance is on your left (1-1.25 hr drive).\n\nRegister \nWe put together some tips on Smart Helmets for our gravel enthusiasts.
