We had a perfect night & a good turnout for the last New City time trial of 2009! There was one team of 4 riders on standard road bikes with no aerobars who started the clock with the first rider and I stopped timing for them at the 3rd rider (although the 4th was just behind them). Lisa Kidd drafted Lance the whole ride-just to check it out-Lance was 1 second over his best time & Lisa said it was just another ride in the park! T.J. put down a good first time – for a BMX free-style rider! Some of the crew brought their standard road bikes also-to run it old-school Eddy Merckx-style! Welcome also Patricia Myers who had her first ride tonight!
Wind was approx 5mph from the SSW, very clear skies, temp was 68 at the start & dropped to 57 by the end of the run.

Thanks again to all of you for coming out! I’ve had a great time these last 3 summers riding with all of you. We’ve all met new friends & overcome different odds to get to the results we have, while having fun. I hope you have found it as fun & fulfilling as I have. I’m sure I’ll see some of you this winter & will be in touch for 2010!
Check out the winter night Cyclocross/mounain bike rides hosted by Jeff Williams-great fun! Call BikeTek for time & place, or just get in touch with Jeff.
