Texas Time Trials 2009?
May 28^th, 2009, 12:42pm

Too early to start the thread on this? I bet probably everyone knows what they're doing, but let get into it. I've thought about the 12 hour and trying to beat Dennis Johnson's record of 180 miles, but I'm open to any other possibility, though I think the 4-man record is going to stay since that At&T pro team beat us by 2.5 hours last year.

What are y'all thinking?

Actually, the AT&T team isn't pro, and their record may fall this year, a few of the masters I know on that team are aiming for the "youngsters" record.

You should be able to take the 180 mile record easy.

I'm planning on the 500 mile version.

Reply #7 - May 28^th, 2009, 4:56pm I'll probably just be a volunteer this year... although my best lap time last year would have gotten me third in the single-lap time trial! I was going to do the solo 200 last year to go after that record, but Greg talked me into Team Lowracer...

If you're not part of the mixed team ,I'm not. As a team ,we need to revise the team name. I object to "mixed bag of nuts." I like "there will be blood" or darn ,what's the Spanish word ,Rose...

Los Cuchinos!

I like Los Cuchinos too. Gret idea Steve.

We can beat our 4 peson, mixed team ride time last year. Dexter's team, who had a later start eclipsed our mixed team record by only a few minutes. We should have a "time" goal for this year, and then begin to work now to exceed that goal. Peddlin' Peggy - do you want to set the goal for us, or how about letting William set our goal Smiley

Speaking of William, Angie is going to give me the gift of "coach" as a father's day present.

Ray, in my opinion, Nelson should set our goal ,since he's the team captain. In the upcoming months, we should meet as a team & establish a ride order & time goal. William can coach us as individuals, but not our team. That should come from within.

Congrats on a coach, William is a good guy. Now,we;ll all have TT helmets.

Los Cochinos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Studio album by Cheech & Chong
Released 1973

Los Cochinos ("The Pigs") is a 1973 comedy album recorded by Cheech & Chong. The Spanish term cochino is a derogatory way of referring to a pig, as it also means "dirty", in contrast to cerdo, a more neutral word for a pig as an animal.

Yeah, yeah yeah. I seem to recall you sprinting away from all of us on a 200k last year as you were just out having fun...

If Peggy's on the team, shouldn't it be Los Cochinos y Chica?

I ain't buying it all! I remember a certain rider(um NELSON) zooming away from all of slugs on the 400K LSR ride in Cleburne, AND last week at during the 200k in Mineral Wells. You're captain 'cause you got the experience & have the proper temperament. Tell me again, how you did on the Crit course this week?

Take Care,
Nelson.

I have the ride schedule from last year. In my opinion, I would rather do double pulls(especially in beginning since Peggy & I are riding the 6 hr shoot-out after the 500 miles).

No double pulls last year.
