Balmy and breezy typical Iowa weather in August brought 21 racers to hammer out the ten mile time trial course in the lonely town of Lone Tree. This is also the time of year for putting down chip seal. We had some of that on our straightaways, which may have affected some riders finish times. Chris and I did spend a good deal of time carefully sweeping the corners on Monday evening, and we were glad that all kept rubber side down. We did however run into a problem with a motorist hauling a trailer who decided he did not want us on "his road" and buzzed as many of the riders as possible. Thanks to Mark Sorenson who telephoned the county sheriff and Larry Howe who obtained this guys licence plate number. Interestingly, last years final TT had someone run down a number of our signs, as well as calling the sheriff to report that there were bikes taking up the whole road.
On another note: Congrats to Shawna Dudley who won the drawing for the Specialized time trial helmet! You will go fast with it ...go girl!

I had a BALL racing with everyone this year, Monika. As a newbie, I was glad to absorb all the wisdom I could from the experienced racers. The race distance was excellent training for sprint tri's, and TT'ing made me a better triathlete, no question. I can't wait to pick up my helmet! Thanks, Geoff's! Thanks for the beer, New Pi! Thanks for all your hard work, Monika!
