Wednesday Worlds

MMSF TT #4 Times

The turnout for tonight's TT was great with 31 riders participating! Ryan Shanahan (Scholars Inn Bakehouse) re-confirmed his dominance with a blazing 20.43, a mere 5 seconds off of his own course record of 20.38. Greg Strock (Texas Roadhouse) became just the third person to break the 21 minute mark with a time of 20.57 (Isaac Neff is the only other sub-21 rider with a 20.59). On the Women's side Sarah Sanders was the fastest with a time of 25.32, tying Karl Hall for 19th. Interestingly enough there was another tie for 26th between Lindsay Bruick and John Kinder. Kevin Depasse posted the fastest time on a road bike (without extensions, but with aero wheels) with a solid time of 23.39.

Thank you to Tom Saccone for timing once again and also to everyone who participated today!

MMSF TT #4

Reminder: today (Tuesday, June 14th) there will be another time trial at Morgan-Monroe State Forest. 10 mile out-and-back course beginning and ending at the entrance to the Forest (where Old 37 meets Main Forest Road). First rider off at 1900 (a.k.a. 7pm), there is typically a group that leaves from behind BGI shortly after 1800 (a.k.a. 6pm) for a brisk ride out there. Come out and enjoy the milder temperatures before we get out next heat wave!

Look fun, if a painful death-march!

WW MMSF New Finish Line

I painted a new finish line for tonight's ride. It's 'near' the old line on the leading edge of the bridge on Old 37 but just North of it. You'll see it on the way out to the course. I wanted to take the gap in the bridge out of play. I didn't have time to give you 100/200m lines yet, but I did paint a WW 1/2 mile marker in the road for the long final leadouts to begin! Hope to see you there.

Womens Wednesday Worlds

From Randi Cox- WWW starts tonight as well. Meet up at same time and place (6pm at the gates). Probably the same route but could change according to peoples wishes. All welcome, usually a little more inclusive than the general ride, at least at the beginning. GO RIDE!!

Wednesday Worlds Tomorrow!

Join us for a hot Summer WW tomorrow. The course: Morgan Monroe State Forest (up Beanblossom). Roll from the Sample Gates at 6:00pm

(last) weekend update

Thanks to the bold Anon poster keepin us on our toes over at BVN foreign headquarters. It's been a busy week but finally in a quiet moment it's worth reflecting on the recent excellent performances at the top end of Bloomington biking.
Performance of the week came from Eric Young over at the NRC Tour of Somerville where he took an impressive 3rd place. This coming sunday see Eric getting his ass kicked on the Manayuck Wall in Philly but it's been a very successful few weeks on the East Coast and it wouldn't be a surprise to anyone to see the NRC-leading Bissell team working for Eric and Kyle Warmsley at the National PRO Crit Champs. Quite the step up from battling the Fratstars on the cinders!

 from cyclingnews.com
Over at the Memorial day Races in Iowa, Erik Hamilton started the weekend well with a 70+mile breakaway and a 3rd placed finish in the Burlington RR. Even on tired legs he also managed 15th on the famous Snake Alley the next day. Team Panther teammate Ryan Knapp is back from a injury-hit start to the road season with a couple of 'normal' 9th places at Quad Cities and a career-best 9th on the Snake! Better yet was a 4th place in the hard uphill bunch kick at Melon City. The Bloomington Panther contingent are clearly on the up in the run-up to Nature Valley and the Elite Nationals Champs in the next month!

In less happy news Mike Sherer had a bad looking crash at the Kelly Cup in Baltimore and got pretty beat up with a broken collarbone and tonnes of nasty road-rash. It's a real shame as Mike was developing some great form after his international spring races. Hopefully he'll be back soon enough and can make something happen at the end of the season. Heal up quick Mike!

Ouch (from Mike)

You MAY have heard I'm not still in the US so I feel a little silly updating BVN. Therefore if anyone else wants to contribute to this blog then please let me know and I can allow editing privileges. It's something I'd like to see continue and as it will take a group effort I'd like to get anyone who has something to say involved.
