I’ve been getting more inquiries about the TT on Thursday, so hopefully we’ll have a few more people out this week. The forecast is showing it will be warmer and the winds normal (15 mph is normal). I want to emphasize that this is not intended to be a competitive event. Rather, the combination of external motivation, camraderie, and racing a bike on a standardized course provides good structure to spring training. Everyone should be looking for improvement based on their own times. I definitely use this course as a good benchmark for my training progress. The reason I post results is to formalize the times and provide historical reference points for everyone. A record of the conditions, dates, and times is also helpful for self-evaluation purposes.
Also, I want to encourage other cyclists to make use of the discussion forum. I know quite a few people are accessing this site, because I see the web statistics almost daily. I’d like to hear more feedback and input about the site. Soon I will be putting up information for our upcoming local races, the 3 Rivers Race and Solstice Triathlon.
