Hood TT

Trebon and I didn't take the 2nd TT too seriously today. I say the 2nd, b/c we rode to the TT start and quickly realized we'd soon be running late...so the commute turned into a TTT just to get there in time.



Riding it on the road bike, I had some time to kill out there. Two guys caught me, and I caught two. The biggest challenge was trying to go 35-40mph on the road bike for prolonged sections...especially with compact.



I took it as easy as possible (not very) but should have taken more photos or video. The problem was there were't too many things to film out there. No people...just a few animals. And a view to kill for. Why doesn't my "posted" time (43:38)match the garmin's time? (43:13) If anything it was stopped a bit after the finish line and started while in the start chute. That's what happens when you hand time 100 riders. I could've been top 86!



Saturday is 101 miles, mostly uphill, so maybe I'll bring the camera.

Yeah! Guys in costume. My bike is 7.1 kilos with clinchers and a Garmin, per the UCI scale. Not too bad.
