So, we had 8 riders come out to test the new 10-mile Time Trial course out on Aguas Frias Road tonight - Thursday, June 28th. Even though there was a headwind going out, there was a tailwind coming back......and we had some good times out there tonight. A HUGE thank you goes out to Jeff Ochs for manning the turn-around spot out there......it's basically in the middle of nowhere. Thank you Jeff!! And also to Lori Cox and Sara Vickery for taking pictures and cheering on the riders as they came through to the finish line! And finally - you missed it - I made a bet with Steve Vickery that if he could beat 23 minutes out there, I would eat a banana peel........and eat one I did - pics can be found here: www.chicocyclist.blogspot.com .
Okay, the results:
1. Rich Thurman 22:33(and new course record! Well....obviously.....it's the first time we've held it!)
2. Steve Vickery 22:50 (Steve - that banana peel is doing somersaults in my stomach tonight)
3. Kris Blee 24:33
4. Kevin Speacht 25:24
5. Michael Rodriguez 25:54
6. Marc Nix 27:10
7. Jenn Gruber 30:20 (1st Place Woman - and new course record holder!)
8. Amy King 30:51 (Amy - tell me what I need to eat for you to break 30!!!! How 'bout......uh......an orange peel!)
Thanks again to all of you for coming out - this looks to be like a good course for the future.
