Black Dog Time Trial race
First race, and surprisingly, the actual race was the easiest part. I worried more about getting there, parking, registration, etc. Once I started, it was just another ride. I just focused on maintaining speed and accellerating a bit at each landmark. I finished in 19:11, fast enough to get 19th out of 26 in my class. Nothing spectacular, but I’m happy with the result.

Black Dog Time Trial warmup
Rode the course as a warmup and preview. As warned, the road was littered with killer potholes and some stretches simply had no good lines. Add in traffic, and it felt like playing a game of dodgeball on the bike. The warmup ride was good, I could feel my legs a bit but I didn’t push too hard. Learning the route was very helpful later in the race as I could motivate myself towards each oncoming landmark.

Fastest ride EVAR.
Wow. Just took my rebuilt KHS Flite 500 out for a spin. Did a 22 mile ride at a personal record pace. Felt great! The best part was pacing a Mercedes at 30mph for a mile
