Well, good news and bad news from the August 19th TT. The good news is that the really rough part of CR3 has been repaved making our TT route a very nice one. The bad news is that it was being repaved DURING this week's TT. Luckily, we discovered this in time to send a car out to reroute the course back down the trail instead of CR3 (at least most everyone got rerouted). It was our best turnout this week, with 20 people riding. Timing this week was a bit of a challenge. In order to keep to the planned series, what we did was to use the average speeds from this week to calculate what each rider's time would have been had the course been the planned 18.9 miles. So, the times here are longer than the actual measured time. Next week we have the hill TT with a nice 3.39 mile ride from our usual starting point to the top of Genoa.

Excellent riding in last nights time trial! Perfect racing conditions and sheer determination helped shave time off last weeks results as nearly everyone that raced the week before brought their time down. Next Tuesday, August 19th, is the third and last race on the 18.9 mile course (you keep your best two results if you race all three). The fourth and final race in the series will take place on August 26th: a 3.39 mile race from Douglas to the top Genoa Hill ! Even if you won't complete the series (two of 3 on the long course plus the Hill TT) please try to challenge yourself in one or both of the last two events.
