Results for Monika's Time Trial Series #3

The "Weather Gods"were smiling favorably on all of us yesterday evening. The forecast went from a 40% chance of thundershowers to 10%. Albeit very hot and humid, the turnout was great. We had 36 participating, with a large Cedar Rapids contingent. They drove a very deluxe Motor Home over, which could of come in handy if it did storm.
We did not get the lightning, but in exchange we received a gift of fresh seal coat in patches on the road and in the first turn. I am positive it effected everyones times. Keep in mind, it is Iowa rural roads and to be expected unexpectedly!
Thanks to all who stuck around afterward to refresh and catch up. Kudos and thanks for all your help goes to our Chief Ref., Larry Howe and Brian Abott, asst. ref. To Will, who stepped in as turnaround assistant at the last minute to get my ass out of hot water. Stiegl for you when you come back again Will!

July 13 is the next Time Trial. I am celebrating the fact that on that precise day, my racing age will equal my real age. Plan on coming!

Thanks for coming! Next two races are July 13th and August 10th.

Today's Time Trial is on!

Welcome....

some particulars for those who are just visiting the site:

Time trial is in Lone Tree and begins in Dougherty Park on the far side of town. Registration opens at 5:30 and closes promptly at 6:15 (so Chris and I can race too!) Out and back course, 5 miles out, 5 back. Flat, with corners. ten dollars for the race, and 10 if you need a one day licence.

I have a map on a previous blog post below for your perusal.

Ok..here's the dope. Weather has generally been rainy, wet and humid. Life still happens. It also happens that we must go on with our show. It will be hot today. If it does rain it will feel ok. Winds should be low, if it is not storming. I will NOT start the race if it is too inclement. we will wait it out if possible. I'm having a "show up and see" attitude. Last race it looked like rain also, turned out ok. Give it a shot.

Hope to see you all again. any questions, i will be checking my e-mail and facwebook periodically today.

Results for Monika"s Time Trial Series #2

Thanks so much for coming out to race and trusting the weather to keep us dry. The clouds looked a little surly, but the weatherman claimed only a 10% chance by 6:00pm. Seemed like all of us were ready to ride, no matter what was in store. We had some out of town guests as well. Thanks to the mostly Rev. Kim and his charming "female companion" Sue, for making the trek from DesMoines, inspite of daunting conditions! Sorry about Pancheros..."when in Rome..."

All in all kinda tough conditions...very chilly...some wind..burrrrrrr

Tomorrow is Time Trial #2!

Reminders for tomorrows Time Trial:



Registration opens at 5:30pm and closes 6:15 at Dougherty Park in Lone Tree. The first rider is off at 6:30. If you do not have a USAC licence you may purchase a one day for $10.00. The cost of admission is $10. for ten miles of Time Trialing! Juniors are in for 5 bucks. (see blog below)



The weather is looking favorable. Rain is forcasted to cease around 3:30 or so. Sun should be peeking out by the time we line up. even though the temps are coolish, nothin like a hard effort to warm you up. So will you join me? It is rumored that we will have the pleasure of the presence of Grandpa Kim and his "female companion", and others from the land of DesMoines.







Just a few things:

~Let me know if you are on a non-time trial rig. I will put you in the breakaway or "Eddy Merckx" (as it is often called) catagory. I don't always know what kind of bike you are on.

~ There are prizes, so if you win a catagory, you must be present to take it home. I will not deliver to your doorstep.

SO...looking forward to seeing all of you from last TT, and those of you who could not make it!

Next Tuesdays' Time Trial

Welcome back!

As I am focused on another exciting Time Trial in Lone Tree next Tuesday, I have some thoughts to share with all of you.

Next tuesday is my Great Dane, Apollo's 6th Birthday. To celebrate, all junior racers get half off of the entry fee. What do juniors have to do with Apollo? I wish he was still a "junior" but sadly he is a "senior". Don't worry, I will have a "senior" special on my birthday, which is in July!

At the last TT, which was held in April, dusk came early. Many that rode out to race left at races end to beat the ensuing darkness. As that is very wise, a few of you missed your prizes. We have some nice ones worth hanging out for in my opinion. Such as coffee from Cafe del Sol, gift bags fron Q7 Cycling & 30th Century Bikes, baked goods from the New Pioneer Coop, gift certificates to Bluebird Diner, etc... We strive to get those results back ASAP, so hang out with your friends, and chill. Dusk will arrive much later this time!!

As always, any suggestions or comments are welcome and encouraged...Put us on your calendar and hope to race with you next Tuesday.
