Jack Evans and I have discussed conducting a club time trail event on February 25. This will be a good weekend to have a club event as those interested will be racing on February 10 and March 3 in Sanctioned events and there is nothing else scheduled in our area for this weekend. Carrie and Chris Altmaier have been asked to coordante/time the event and we are certainly hoping they will get involved with our club in manners such as this! They have not yet agreed to our request but have expressed interest - so if you know Carrie and Chris - please put in a good word for us!
A club flyer will be published within a week or so with directions to the course but it will be conducted on the same course the club has been holding this event for the past couple of years - the road in front of Barnsburg Baptist Church just off Kentucky Highway 80 east of Somerset KY - The course is an eight mile (four miles out and four miles back) - slightly rolling course and the event will be held at multiple times though out the up and coming year.
For this event - even though this is a non-sanctioned event - we plan to invite the Lindsey Wilson Team- the London Crew - Gran Fondo in Nashville and the Indianapolis folks. I doubt any of these people will show up for an 8 mile event when they are so focused on higher miles with their team rides but maybe we'll get a stray participant.
Whether you are a seasoned racer or a beginner - please plan to come out as we'd be delighted to post a time for you! Remember - only one person posts the fastest time in a time trail event. The rest of us use the information and exercise for training purposes! It doesn't matter how slow or fast you may be - but that you showed up and posted an effort with which you may determine you future progress!
With Jack's blessing - we will hold this same event periodically throughout 2007 and perhaps we may even get the event sanctioned in the future!
IN GENERAL
If you have any questions about bicycle road racing or training - please feel free to contact me or any other active cyclist that you know. We have a great bunch of people riding for us and we are having a lot of fun!!!! And we ain't even racing yet!
AS ALWAYS
