MMSF TT #3 June 4th 2013 Results

Another good turnout at the MMSF TT for the third one of the year.  21 riders partook with Adam Rodkey taking the win with a 22:25 - just one second off of his PR!  Top female was Sarah Sanders, with Tomasz Golas and Lindsay Koren taking the top men's/women's Merckx spots.  Thanks to Carl Field once again for timing - it is a thankless task and we are fortunate to have such great volunteers!  Full results below:

TT Off-Week Group Ride

Hey All-

Since there is no official MMSF TT this week, I would like to get a group together for a group ride tomorrow for whoever is interested.  Plan is to meet at Sample Gates at 11:45am and ride out steady to the Forest, where we will split up into 3- or 4-man teams.  We'll do the 10-mile TT twice as teams, with a short easy spin in between, then we'll re-group at the finish and roll through the Forest and down Bean Blossom to Anderson to top it all off (sprint line on Anderson).  We'll re-group after the sprint and roll home easy together.

I'd like to make this a bi-weekly thing on the "off" Tuesdays between TT's (with varying workouts/routes of course) - I know the time isn't ideal this week (I have to be back for a workshop at 4pm, that's why it's early this week), but in the future we'll try to schedule in the late afternoon/evening to accommodate more schedules.

Anyone is welcome, and please pass on the word to anyone you think would be interested!  Also, if you'd like to come and can't make it at 11:45am, post in the comments and maybe you all can get an evening crew together to leave at 5 or 6pm!

Best,
RJ


Well, since there's no MMSF Individual Time Trial this week, we might as well work on some TTTing, right?!?!?! Check out this #ThrowbackIUCC

Come one, come all! Join us tonight (Tuesday, May 7th) at 7:00pm in the Morgan-Monroe State Forest for the first time trial of the season! 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 set a benchmark for the season and you'll have a goal to beat for the rest of the year!  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's the current leader-board of the top 3 performers (read: performers, not top 3 overall times - those would all belong to Mr. Shanahan):

Pole Run

It's time for a little L5 content on this dead-blog.
 - Solid run from the Beta: I had Anderson at 31.5 on my patented i-phone timing system, not sure where that put him in the overall standings.
 - Would have been much faster if the second guy knew where the pedals were
- The third guy flew into the exchage box and had one of the longest follow-throughs in recent memory.
- The fourth rider crossed himself prior to the off and then had a wicked bike throw at the end! Beta for sure knows its drama!

Stop breathing, cyclists...

Oh America, you'd be so cute and silly if you didn't have all those nuclear weapons! (from Tom S)

 'You claim that it is environmentally friendly to ride a bike. But if I am not mistaken, a cyclists [sic] has an increased heart rate and respiration. That means that the act of riding a bike results in greater emissions of carbon dioxide from the rider. Since CO2 is deemed to be a greenhouse gas and a pollutant, bicyclists are actually polluting when they ride.'
