Team Time Trial

Monroe GA, Georgia Cup TT #7 Team Time Trial. I estimated the course to be about 18.6 miles and mostly flat. Our team, "GTC Elite", had a pretty decent ride other than Shawn missing the first turn and us having to wait for him to get back.

My gig last night took a lot out of me and I only got about 4 hours of sleep so my contributions to the team effort were less than stellar this morning however we scored 4th overall and 2nd in our age group.

C4 TT#2 Newborn

The Conyers Covington Cycling Club "fun" time trial was Newborn, GA this week. Marshall, Jim and myself swept the podium laying down the three fastest times for the 14 mile course. Good roads for this type of event and couple of hills that really got your attention.

GA TT Review

The course was 40k and the surface varied with some rough sections and a number of sneaky little potholes. My only real age-group competitor, Phil Bonfiglio (RBM), crashed when he hit a pothole about a kilometer before the turnaround. I was coming back the other way and had to brake hard to keep from hitting him as he slid across the road. I was just about to stop when he let out some loud expletives. OK, he wasn't dead, sounded mad and might get up and resume racing so I decided to go. Checking back over my shoulder it looked like Phil had quit so I lost some motivation to ride hard after that.

My GTC teammates, Bob V. and Shawn T., also scored GA state champ titles in their respective age groups.
