Horse Country TT (Read 17782 times)

Kwijybow Five Star Member mostly a commuter Posts: 1026	Horse Country TT May 11^th, 2007, 12:08pm Hi Guys, http://www.3nf-inc.com/IC3/horsecountrytimetrial.htm I talked to Kevin Hill about this one and he's going to include a Recumbent category! So a fun little test. I won't be able to make the first because of an LSR brevet, but planning on going to the 2nd. Take Care, Nelson.

Sad, though that winners in other divisions apparently don't get moolah like the 'real' riders do... PB

Howdy all...Kevin here...

We are in fact planning to make this a 4 month series (unless the 1st one flops, then all bets are off)

For now, prize list is limited as most racers have told me they really just want to race and our current budget is $0 before sponsor checks come in

The climb at the end is nothing compared to the one right after the turnaround, and the one 2.6 miles before the finish.

If anyone wants to come out and run it with me sometime, let me know and I'll try to work something out to join you (on my wedgie bike).

My best time on it is 39:37, 18.8 mph. If anyone breaks 32 minutes I'll be really surprised, break 30 minutes and you get the "Horse Country Stud" award (aka bragging rights).

If you "no-carpal-tunnel" guys can get enough 'bents out there, I'll see if I can upgrade your category to something better than medals.

30 minutes for 12.5 miles? Somehow, I DOUBT it... Breaking 20 minutes on the GDB 7.6 miler is a feat in itself... (OK, I did it, but...) Cool

Pre-reg is up on BikeReg, but I haven't announced it yet on TXBRA:

http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=4932

Since we are starting in order of registration, if you want an early start time, here's your chance

Just a little head start from a DF Friend

BTW...Kwijibow did pretty well last night at the crits in Plano...even went off the front for a lap or two. Next time I'll tell him to ditch the extra weight of the seat bag Wink
