Actually Ron, technically we never put in no shoe covers into the rules. I thought about that when I saw an eddy racer last year on that cold rainy day at pir. I felt that was for warmth and that it would be splitting hairs with "aero" clothing.
BTW...I'll be in eddy class this year.

Wear your skinsuit, but wear a jersey over it ... the skinsuit then becomes a baselayer :)
Also, don't forget no shoe covers, no wheels over 40mm in depth and the frame must be a dedicated road frame (not a TT frame with road components).

So...for Jack Frost:
I will have my thermal CX skin suit, no aero helmet or bars, can I still race Eddy, or no?

Hi Zach,
Adam Kennedy here. I'm organizing the OBRA TT series this year. Skin suits
are *not* allowed in the Eddy category. Other than that minor glitch,
sounds like you have the ideal set up.
See Eddy specific rules taken from the 2013 rule set available here:
http://www.obra.org/pdfs/TTCupRules2013.pdf
The Eddy category has specific rules. Riders in this class will compete
without aero bars or extensions. Disc wheels are not allowed. Fairings are
not allowed. Aero helmets are not allowed (any helmet specifically built as
an aero helmet and any helmets that has been modified to approximate a
helmet specifically built as a TT helmet is not allowed). Skinsuits are not
allowed. Wheels with rims greater than 40mm in depth are not allowed.
Bicycles which may have aerodynamic shapes but are designated to be sold as
road bicycles (and are not user modified time trial bicycles) ARE allowed.
