Time Trials
August 11, 2007 – 5:13 amThe organization of the TNT events is amazing. Everything is carefully coreographed with great care. I’m very impressed.
This second ride is designed to sort the riders into groups of 6 to 8 people who have a similar riding pace. We all set out in blocks of 4 and gradually broke up into our own pace. I tried hard to scale back my pace because I naturally enjoy riding fast, but I doubt I could maintain it over > 100 miles. I ended with an average speed of approx 18MPH over the 13 miles in Portola.
I was pretty quick, so I went back to find Lisa and encourage her along. She did fine, and I’m very proud of her for grinding away at something she has watched me do for years.
