MMSF TT #6 Results 07.31.2012

Light rains and cooler temperatures tonight provided great conditions for the 17 riders who tackled the TT.  Taking the top spot and setting a new best time for the year was Jonathan Atwell who turned in a time of 21.06.  Fastest Merckx time was Thomas Walsh with a 24.56 while the lone female was Corinne Innes, coming in at 29.12 in her first TT.  Great job to everyone who came out and thanks to Carl Field for timing tonight.  Also, Carl left this message for everyone:

"someone left some stuff at the start/finish line at the TT thi9s afternoon -- a spare tube, one Park tire lever and a Crank Bros multi-tool in a ZipLoc bag. Give me a call at 812-369-0908, we'll make arrangements to get your stuff returned.

-Carl F"

Indy Crit

Seems as though the Indy Crit was a wild success yesterday with over 500+ pre-registered riders and appropriately huge fields. Riders were so excited that podium positions were celebrated in highly unorthodox fashion!

Superweek

Superweek may be in long term decline but it still offers 2 weeks of non-stop racing, the cost has been the same for 3(?) years and they don't (usually) cut the races. 30mile Cat 3 and 60mile Pro/1/2 crits are rare. Started last night until 22nd July. Get up there and race!

With the imminency of doing a circuit race around an empty industrial park at the upcoming weekend I miss this type of US Criting! From Tulsa Tough 1/2 race, a pretty fun video!

MTBing

From Hope Martin: I was hoping we could get an announcement out on the Bloomington Velo-News about a mountain bike race this coming weekend. "Harmeggedon" will offer mtb XC, TT, and Dirt Crit races in New Harmony, IN this Saturday and Sunday. The full schedule and information can be found on our website www.planetadventurerace.com.

MMSF TT #4 Times 07.03.2012

We had a decent turnout tonight given the heat - 22 riders came out to tackle the TT.  To no surprise, it was Jonathan Atwell who took the top spot tonight with a time of 21.08 - the new best for the year.  Atwell keeps inching closer to the 21 minute barrier - can he be just the fourth rider to break 21 next time?  Dave (Able ?) took the top Merckx time with a time of 24.15 - a new best for the Merckx category this season.  Topping the women was Sarah Sanders with a blazing fast 25.06 - just 3 seconds off of the best female time this year.  Thanks to Tom Saccone for timing tonight.  There were also some complaints from riders about other riders drafting once they'd been passed.  So this is a reminder to those participating in the TT - please do not draft if you're catching someone or if you've just been passed.  Lastly, just a quick note from me - some of the names were not very legible, so I did my best with the spelling.  Obviously if I know you it's not a big deal, but if I spelled any names wrong, I apologize.  I will shamelessly blame the handwriting on the timing sheet for that.  Anyways, full results below...
