It is great that they have this event, but it is a long way to go (and the huge expense of course) just to ride a 5K TT - not sure it is worth it unfortunately.

Totally understand your frustration with expense and TIME attending a competitive event.
I stopped attending competitions for said.
Last competition I attended was the 1996 National Championship Mountain Bike Cross Country race .
Finished 4th due to living at 800 feet altitude and the Mammoth Mountain, California event was at 9,000 ft altitude. I should have know better as nearly all the other competitors lived at 5,000 fet and up.
Not counting TIME (enjoyable) expense investment nearing $2,000 without purchasing any new equipment. (I already had the race equipment needed)
So, to flatter one's ego, competitions get very expensive with time and expenses factored in.
Sorry for the rant ,,, boiled to the bottom line, it's always about our EGO.
