Parking
Please park on the North side of Manser road or Lichty and ride down to the start.

Description:
All ability levels are welcome. Any bike type is welcome as well (no e-Bikes). People have raced on road, TT, cross/gravel, MTB’s, hand cycles etc.

There are two categories “Aero” and “Road Bike”:

Aero:
Anything goes (No UCI restrictions)

Road:
No clip on aerobars, no invisible aerobars/hands draped over the tops, no TT disc rear wheels, no TT specific helmet, (Aero road helmets are fine, skin suits are fine).

All bike types are welcome. If you have clip on aerobars or want to use invisible aerobars / hands draped over the tops on your road bike you can participate, you’ll just be slotted into the aero category.

Based on participant feedback we’ve moved the TT to Wednesday nights. We will also coordinate with Kevin Gibson to ensure we are aligning schedules with the monthly gravel TT as well. :slight_smile:

If you have specific questions prior to your ride please feel free to ask here.

Thanks and see you July 3rd!

I should be able to make this one. Though I’ll be testing my full aero kit. Pencil me in for 25 min.

Tentative yes. 19:45. If I could go earlier in the seeding that would help me make my kids soccer game.

Please keep your eyes on this forum post…the weather is looking … unpredictable… For tomorrow evening. If there is any chance of T-storms coming through I will post-pone to next week.
@ekalvi …I’ll put you off first so be prepared to go at 7:00 sharp.

Thank you

The weather forecast has improved. Consider this a go for tomorrow evening. Please come to the race start by 6:30 for sign-in… race will start promptly at 7:00 pm. Get ready for some serious suffering as the winds are expected to be a strong SW breeze – which means it’s going to hurt on the way back from the turn-around.

See you tomorrow evening all.

Tonight was a fantastic night for a time trial… even with the headwind on the Out portion… that just meant a lovely tailwind coming back. The traffic was reasonable – albeit some folks think it’s a speedway – and the weather was hot and fast. If you could maintain an Aero position, you were golden tonight.
I did the TT at 6:05 and finished just before 6:30 – which puts me in my fastest time on this course. Of course, I’m not Aero at all… so I suffered. I did set a new power threshold – but after all my injuries, this is not surprising. :wink:

Everyone else had great rides tonight… we had a group of 4 or 5 riders come in to the finish at one point, which means many folks put out some serious efforts to catch one or two (or MORE) people out on the course. With one minute spacing between riders, that’s some pretty serious efforts being put out.

Now I have something to confess… when I started working on the results, I hit the RESET button on my stop watch instead of the RECALL button. This made me lose all the time splits. I’m very sorry everyone. I was able to find times from people that posted their rides on Strava – but i don’t follow all of you and some I could not find. I did have 4 results written down before the erasure… and the times on Strava are for the TT segment only.

Please contact me with your time if you don’t see an actual time listed on the above sheet. Hopefully I can get you all straightened out for this week.

Thanks and very sorry.

I had glanced at the timer on my bike and I believe it was around 25:50 … so I think you have a typo where my “Running Time” was supposed to be 27:50 instead of 22:50. Burgess definitely passed me about halfway to the turnaround.

Thanks for organizing though and better luck next time with the tech. It was a real nice evening to be out :bike:
