The GDB Time Trial series starts up again this Thursday, April 17th... want some exercise? You don't have to be a GDB member to participate... and I'm the coordinator for it. I can proudly say that I've held the club record since 2008, on the Xstream prototype....
The Third Thursday Time Trial is a 7.25 mile loop around Mesquite Airport - There's no money, no trophies, just bragging rights... essentially racing against yourself. The map is here:
http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2225731 We roll out from Poteet High School in Mesquite, from the west side parking lot promptly at 6:00, ride ~8 miles out to the airport for a warmup, then laps begin about 6:40 -- if you wish to meet us out there, that's fine, too! We start inside the airport, just past the main control center building. The loop is very simple -- take every right turn available - at Scyene, at Lawson, at Berry after the Speedway hill, at Lucas, again at Scyene, then back into the airport for the final half mile sprint, to much encouragement!
All types of road-worthy human powered vehicles allowed - TT bikes, Cruisers, Fixies, Recumbents, Trikes, Tandems, whatever -- if you pedal it, bring it!
* When riding, be safe, watch for cars, and obey any applicable traffic regulations;
* No drafting of others -- if you overtake someone, you must swing out to the side and pass them, or drop back ~20 feet;
* Watch for the crack in the center of the Airport entrance drive - it's a big one!
* HAVE FUN!
Projected calendar dates are:
April 17 / May 15 / June 19 / July 17 / Aug 14 (moved up due to HHH on 8/23) / Sept 18
