Hello Crew!

BARNSBURG TIME TRIAL SERIES EVENT #6 RESULTS
 
We had a good turnout for today's, 6th 2007 Barnsburg time trial event. Thirteen Cumberland Cycles racers, multi-sports and club riders turned out for the event, and we want to thank each and everyone of them.

Being put under a clock in a public setting is never a comfortable thing to do, but to do so as a new rider - well, it takes a lot of internal courage.  Unimaginable, really. I've raced in several hundred races, and I get nervous before every one of them. I really want to send out a heart-felt pat on the back to our new riders!  Races are hardest on you. I also want to praise our club riders who come out to participate.  What these people are doing - posting times in an event that is extremely demanding and painful - just goes to show the depth and character of the people on and behind our team and club.

As for our racers - Sanctioned and Muti-sport, We've had a great year and I want to thank everybody for coming out to participate, not only in our club series, but in all of the events this year. We still have a little bit to go, but I am so very pleased with our first year! 

MR. AARON DENNEYPOSTS THE FASTEST TIME OF EVENT #6 at 20:10 for the eight miles!  Congratulations to Aaron!  We had several  personal records set today... In fact, we had six PRs. This almost half the field.  And what is amazing, the conditions are the course today were slow!  The air was thick and muggy with a strong return head wind. Times would have been faster in different conditions!  Take me for an example. I was about a minute and a half off my fastest time on the course.

We have a lot of folks getting a lot stronger, but stronger than these results indicate!  On a good, still day, with no humidity or wind, I bet we'd have several riders going under 20 minutes!
