Joe,

     I was a member of the Emerald Coast Cyclist in the late 80’s and we did a once a month time trial on two courses, we would alternate the course and then have a club ride after the time trial.  It was great for seeing your progression, bragging rights, etc.  I think this would be a great addition to our weekly rides and maybe we could substitute one of the Tuesday or Thursday rides every month or add a Wednesday night TT.  I like the idea of Steam plant during the week and the Knox hill ride on the weekend. 

    I also talked to Scott Ewing and Craig Baranowski, as well as Steve at the bike shop about possibly putting on a points race this fall, we could do two to three laps of Knox hill with set sprint points. I plan on contacting the Emerald Coast Cyclist to see if they would be interested in participating (we also did this in the 80’s early 90’s).

   As for yesterday I could not have pulled it off without the volunteers, as usual Carol Taylor stepped up to head the volunteers, I have done the time trial for at least the last 4-5 years and she has always been there.  Sharon and John Mihalik also came out and John rode out to the turn around and gave us a new time with the ½ way splits.  Dave Jennings was also there and I believe on other lady that I did not get the name of before she left.  As you know we could not have any of the events we do without these volunteers so thank you all.

     Please let me know if I can be of any help.
