Tonight was the first Team Bums Toosday Night Time trial.

The course was about 2 miles long on Lake singletary , lots of winding turns , a quit e a few patches of deep snow. made for a tough course , I did a warm up lap and felt terrible, felt better on the first race lap, but still just couldn't get a good rythm. the guy 1 minute behind me caught and passed me, the guy be hind him was closesing in. as I did the last lap I got rythm finally and really felt good. I opened up a good gap and finished strong.

it felt really good to be letting it all hang out
for the 2 laps I was in the middle of the pack with a 31 minutes.

and here I was haing some fun with long exposure

first one, 2 riders you can see the dip where I pressed the shutter

3 riders

1 rider

Now I feel like a big pVssy for not riding last week when it was 30 degrees out. Then again, I can wait a couple days and it's 50. My guess is if you don't like riding when it's cold out in your neck of the woods then it's a long 3-4 months on the trainer. Kudos to you for getting ur done!

oh man, i feel like a weak little three year old toddler gasping for maternal boobage after seeing those pics.

good job splat!

just a few questions so 1., is that you in this photo and 2., is that a c-dale cyclocross bike with a headshock like this one? actually, i know that the one in your pic is an xc bike but it sure resembles my brother's c-dale cross.

Fun time last night. The course was smooth and fast in sections and hike a bike in others- overall a very fun ride.

Splat - results are up on the team site if your intereseted!

I should have given my Camera to don to get a pic of me , but alas I didn't think of that

I saw them.
I found it interesting , that most of the 2nd laps were faster than the first ( mine included )

The fastest 3-4 guys were actually on 29ers. Big wheels def. had an advantage through the rough stuff last night...

As much as John likes 29ers, 650bs etc. his new race ride for 2009 is gonna be 26er....

With all those lights above your heads there must have been some good ideas going on!

Looks like fun........
