Woohoo, we had was felt like some pretty darn good conditions tonight.
wind was quite light (big improvement over last year)
winds was form the northwest, so a little challenging along Posey, but a nice little boost along Lawson
all the roads were in quite good shape, with a firm smooth line on the crown or on either side on the “tire lines”
a bit cool, and the sun disappeared behind clouds as we rolled to the start, so it felt a little colder. A couple of us braved bare legs (just think of the watts losst bending your knee with fabric over it )
Here’s the results for anyone who rode the course today. (Chad I see you got out earlier in the day to do it)
Congrats to Andrew Lambert for topping the leaderboard again, and the only sub-20 minute effort.
I included a PR column. It’s just based on if tonight is on the overall leaderboard, so if this was your only attempt you still get credit for the PR.
I calculated the time gaps tonight versus last April for anyone who did both. Big improvements across the board (as I said, the wind last year made it pretty tough) Congrats to Christian Bell for having the largest time improvement, 3:28 faster than last year. (Ha, and I had the least improvement )
One more addition, just sorted out a technical glitch with @DaveG who slots into a tie for lucky 13th with @Portasaurus
Oh and another edit, found @WillA 's data. His first ever TT, exactly 31.0 km/h.
Thanks for putting this together and catching the lap I did an hour prior to the event.
Not sure if that was a benefit (had some sunshine) or detriment (no rabbits to chase ahead on the course).
Hopefully we can do 1 or 2 more this year!
@Luke_Ehgoetz and @ekalvi actually tied for fastest time - with this being Erik’s first try.
@Askes and @dirk are both pushing closer towards the magical sub-20 barrier.
@DaveG and @Portasaurus tied last month. Both were faster this time around, with Dave improving by an additional 4 seconds.
Also of note, @Arlambert couldn’t get out tonight, but he did ride the course last Friday, and set a NEW PR and of course, keeps the KOM and widens the gap to 2nd place.
The new best time is now 17:53, with a speed over 40 km /h.
I’m running 42mm Pathfinder pros on alum EA70 AX gravel wheels. I’d save about a pound in weight and save about 10 watts in drag. It’d be a pretty nice gain.
I’ll probably just start with the tires and see how that works out. (Get the rolling resistance benefit, most of the aero benefit and a little lighter weight)
@ChrisP ran the TT lap tonight, new PB by 1.6kph (32.6) with the 35mm Terra Speeds! - surely you’ll challenge that KOM with that kinda speed difference

(but I’m sure you’d be damn fast with them - so you might as well buy a set 
)
