Time Trial Series - Volume 6

The 6th event in the Time Trial Series was our fastest by far, with 8 cyclist breaking the 24 mph mark. The conditions were excellent - a light NE wind and mild temps and new course records were established in 3 of the 6 categories. Greg Youngen continued to improve for the 3rd straight time, lowering the Masters men's mark to 25:36. Kelly Shimmin also improved for the 2nd time to drop her Novice women's record to 30:49. The Open men's group saw some outstanding times. Luke Taggart arrived with a well-tuned TT bike and grabbed the top spot, breaking Martin's course record by 4 seconds with a sizzling 24:58 - our first rider over the 26 mph mark! Among the returning competitors, three others broke their PR. Karl Crapse, Scott Dahman, and Jess Cole (just 4 seconds off the Open women's record) all have new PRs to shoot for next time. Way to go! It was fun to see some new faces - Jay Yost, Hogan Sills, and Alex Voitik all came out with strong first efforts. Thanks to all and we'll see you again on 9-9-08.
