It was a cooker!

It was a hot one last night at the MIVA/Rock City Cycles 40K TT.   With temps in the high 20's and wind,  hydration was a factor.   Its always tricky to get the pacing right when you are doubling the distance.   Some riders were experiencing muscle cramps and others complained of legs on fire!   We had a guest from Vancouver Christian Hansen who rocked the TT even when he had a flat at the half way point.  Thinking quick he did a wheel change,  got back in the race and came in 2nd with an amazing time.

Despite the heat 2 riders hammered out Personnal Bests:

Congrats to

James Sage Stephen Mohan

Some like it HOT!
Talk about a complete opposite of last week's 12 degrees, it was hot and humid lastnight at the MIVA /Rock City Cycles 20K TT.  The small group of riders battled a headwind on the way out to the turn around with most feeling the effects on the return.  One rider however did achieve a personal best

 

Congrats to:

Gary Argyle
