The first installment of the 2006 Lakeside Cycling Club Time Trial Series was held at the downtown airport on Monday 5/15/06. We had a good group of racing enthusiasts that braved a rain shower, wet roads, a pesky northwest wind, and dirty bikes to test their strength against the clock. The course was one lap of the 3.65-mile airport loop from a dead start. The wind caused grief on the far side of the course, but helped the speed down the front stretch to the finish. It was a close race, with four riders within 22 seconds, and five riders within 39 seconds. Double-D flatted (!) less than a mile into her run, reducing her to walking-speed. Here's the finish order, and (since this was the first trial) the season standings:
