I seem to be coming down sick with something, so not great chances Iā€™ll actually show up. My apologies.

Good evening all, it was wonderful to see you all tonight at the first Time Trial of the 2024 season. I donā€™t know about the rest of you, but this was the PERFECT evening for a TT. There was wind, but it really calmed down when we startedā€¦ so you were luckyā€¦ and the temperature was absolutely perfect. I wish I could have joined you in the suffering, but have to stay off the bike for 7 daysā€¦ doctorā€™s orders (and wife :wink: ).

As I expected there were some extremely fast times tonight. Great effort everyoneā€¦ from the first timers to the experienced racersā€¦ there were some truly exceptional efforts put out. Here are the results for tonightā€™s Time Trial.

Stats for tonight:
14 riders, 4 women, 4 KWCA youth, 11 riders on Aero equipment, 2 MX riders (usually itā€™s half & half), and one Hand Cycle (Welcome back Roger!!!)

Most of the time estimates were beaten soundlyā€¦ you donā€™t give yourself enough credit. A couple estimates were WAAAAY off ā€” namely Ronan ā€“ that was a solid ride by that young man. Congratulations sir!!

Great work everyone, it was a pleasure timing for you again and I look forward to seeing your improvements over the summer. A special thank you to James McLean for manning the turn around and picking up all the signs on the way backā€¦ that was totally unexpected and truly appreciated!

Have a wonderful evening and weekend of riding. Stay safe!!
Kevin
