"Time trials? more like lung trials" - 9/2/10 - Abrams Rock - Swansea, MA

- Trailhead: Library
- Riders: Matt, Tim, X, Y, Z, OMMB
- Distance: 3 miles
- Weather: hot and muggy
- Trail Conditions: great

Notes: Joined in the Bikeworks time trial series, first of four.  It was good fun.  Informal and no pressure...simply timing yourself through the course.  Goal is to improve your speed throughout the series.  I huffed and puffed from beginning to end and did the whole route cleanly (with the exception of one micro-stop to remove a hitchhiker from the back wheel).   27 mins, some seconds.  So I hope to improve on that over the next few weeks. 

The course is nicely marked, so come on out and practice with me this week!  Then show up for the trials on Thursdays at 6:15. 

Tidbits:  Matt did an incredible job marking the route and running the show! (not to mention his 20 min run!).   He said to bring lights if you are interested in a night ride after the trials.

Happy Trails,
OMMB
