| Re: First Time Trial ... kinda (long)
I used to live in a town with quite a few tri-atheltes. On Tuesday and
Thursday I would go with the hardcore roadies and get 30-40 miles of
hard riding in. But on Wednesday there were time trials. Usually 10
miles but I was one of the few pure roadies that would show up. And I
would show up on my standard road bike. No disc wheels, no aero bars,
just me in the drops for 10 miles. This was on the coast so it was dead
flat except for the start/finish which was about a 15ft descent over 1/8
mile at the start and opposite for the finish. And it WAS FUN! Going
like crazy giving it all I had for 10 miles. Passing the slower riders
and trying to keep up with the faster ones. It felt much more like a
race than any other day of the week. I was at those time trials every
week. You brought back some good memories!
