MMSF TT #7 Tomorrow (Tuesday, August 14th)

Join us tomorrow night (Tuesday, August 14th) at 7:00pm in the Morgan-Monroe State Forest for the seventh time trial of the season! After this one, there are only two more left, so come and see what you can do on this 10-mile out-and-back course featuring several rolling hills and a blazing fast finish! First rider goes off at 7:00pm with subsequent riders going off at 30-second intervals. Come see if you can best your own best time and take on some good-natured competition! If you're riding out and want some company, a small group usually rolls out from behind BGI shortly after 6:00pm. And if you're looking for motivation...here are the top Men's and Women's times for THIS YEAR:

Men:
TT: Jonathan Atwell 21:06
Merckx: Dave Able 24:15
L5 bike: Paul Smith 27:33

Women:
TT: Sarah Sanders 24:48 *Women's Course Record
Merckx: Sarah Fredrickson 27:33

Current Course Record still held by Ryan Shanahan at 20:31

Also, the first Wednesday 'Cross Worlds of the season will take place this coming Wednesday, August 15th.  Meet at Sample Gates at ~6:15pm and ride to the Tailgate Fields (the field between 14th, 17th, Fess and Woodlawn) or just meet there at 6:30pm.  Expect off road riding/cornering/barrier skills sessions in a lap riding format.  This is a great way to get into cyclocross if you've never done it before and a great way to train for those with CX experience.  Contact Adam Rodkey (812)-339-9970 or Fred Rose (812)-339-3457 with any questions.

Road Wednesday Worlds will depart from the Sample Gates at 6:00pm as usual.  The course this week is the challenging Forest-North Shore/South Shore loop.  Expect a larger turnout as IU students are starting to trickle back into town (and expect bad traffic - freshmen move-in is also this Wednesday).

Hope to see good turnouts at all of these events!

Spin to win.
Why isn't anyone else on their l5 bikes?
That takes some commitment
