RUGGED. that's the best way to describe last nights conditions. Everyone who participated was a winner in my book. Those who showed up to brave the strong mix of chill and wind not only persevered, but I am guessing felt acomplished afterward.

Time trial #UNO TOMORROW, April 26th!

We will go with whatever comes our way for tomorrow's time trial. The first of five, It should be fun, no matter. I am confident that the conditions will be FAR improved over last Tuesday.

Here are some reminders:

Registration is ON-SITE, and begins at 5:30, and closes promptly at 6:15!! If you think you might be running late, pre fill out a event release form, http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=1053
and write a check payable to Monika's Time Trial Series for $10.00 (if you have a USAC licence) otherwise you will need to fill out a ONE DAY form, which costs an additional $10.00

Registration is at Dougherty Park on the South end of Lone Tree. From there you will ride about 2 miles south on Wapsi Ave. Then right on 660th. about 40 yards from that corner is the start. First rider will be off at 6:30.

We will have refreshments post ride while we wait for our official results.

I know that 50 degrees and showers are not ideal, but chances for rain drop at 6:00pm to 30%, so hopefully all we will have to contend with is wet roads. Don't ya just love spring racing! :)

Time Trial #1 RESCHEDULED

We will will have time trial # 1, rescheduled for next Tuesday, April 26th. Please help me spread the word, and hopefully even if it does rain, it will not be accompanied by thunder, wind and 37 degree temps!


All other info remains the same, same time same channel.

Hope to race with you then.

Todays Time Trial Cancelled due to horrible conditions

I waited until this morning to cancel being optimistic that maybe weather conditions would be better than we all expected. It happened twice for us last year. Instead, the forecast is worse with a colder temperature, (37degrees) thunder and now a 80% chance of rain. I don't think too many folks want to go out in it, let alone race in it.

I will post again if we can arrange a postponed race date asap. My apologies to anyone who might of been bad ass enough to show up and race. But personally, I did not want to stand there at registration or have my volunteers and official endure the nastiness that unseasonal weather like this is bestowing upon us!
