A time trial course that requires focus and continuing effort. I have experienced it. It is bum deal that they, ODOT, chip-sealed, though. However, after reading Brian's Blog on his accomplishment, I thought that I would give it a try. Decked out in as much aero as I own, I headed out. After resetting the 'ol cyclo-computer, I took off. I had just crested the first climb when it happened--with a vengence. My tube blew up. I was running the same tires I used this year for all my TT's--Michelin Pro Lights. They are not equipped for this kind of treatment. So after my disgust and talking the horses that came to see what I was up to, I replaced my tube, and went home defeated. But as Schwarzenegger off "Terminator" said, "I'll be back." Foothill. A time trial course that requires focus and continuing effort. I have experienced it.
