Forum | Time Trials

Updated the spreadsheet. 

Sean and I did the TT yesterday for our 3rd time, showing consistent improvement….small….but consistent.  Ended with 8:46 on the Ski Trail and 9:55 on the single track…..we are "shooting" for an 8:30 on the Ski trail and 9:30 on the single track next time!  The trails and weather have been PERFECT this week for riding!

I did the time trial runs this morning:  Ski trails/Eagle, 7:52  16.4 mph  and singletrack/dazed, 9:10  11.1mph.  This will be my official first timed lap for myself, but I will continue to post times for my wife and I when we ride together!  This is a great way to start out a long training ride, and I found it seemed to increase my pace for the rest of the day!!

John Froelich said:Did the time trials with the family tonight, ski trial/eagle 12:42.  Single track dazed/twister 14:52 avg mph 6.9.  Rode as a group Tori, John, And Aaron.

that is awesome john!  Yeah, Sean and I are doing this as a "team" effort also.  Great to see your fam did it!  I'm adding it now to the spread sheet.

The personal improvement time trials have been documented after a 2 week period to make some progress.  Still no "other" challengers for this event?????  view results here:

So, did anyone make it for the Time Trials last night?  I know it was raining at 7 but I don't know what time it started.  I'm hoping to make it next week, the first week was a blast!

EVERYONE,

the course route for the "Self-Paced" aka "Self-Improvement" aka "On your honor system" time trials is posted here;

You can do this on your own and let me know what your; Time, Avg Speed, and Distance (should be close to the same as ours) and I'll get it on the spreadsheet.

Sadly I will not be able to mak it this week, but hopefuly the next time!

Hey guys,

I'm not going to do time trials on tuesday nights.  Matt O'Meara e-mailed me the following.  So, we can all do thursday night TT's starting at Lowes Creek.  I'm hoping we can rotate up to NWP too.  I'm excited to just race and not organize!

Craig

Fellow Riders/Racers,

There seems to be enough interest in FINALLY starting up a night where people of all levels and abilities can come out on a regular weekly basis to one of the local parks and ride/race their bikes as fast as they dare on single track mtb trails.  We would like to start doing this every Thur. night but next week is going to be the first and it would be great for everyone to come if possible.  There aren’t many details besides showing up with a bike and having a good time.  I know that I’ve missed some people on this e-mail so forward it on to anyone else who may be interested.

 

Who:    Anyone who is into riding (all abilities welcome)

 

What:   You can race anywhere from 1-3 laps.  (each lap will be about 25 minutes long)

 

When:  Thursday July 21^st @ 6pm (be there early to sign in)  

 

Where: EC Expo Center (where the gate entrance leads into Lowes Creek Park)

 

 

Feel free to contact me with any questions.  See you next week!

I am actually pretty open to any day for time trials at Lowes Creek.  I would like to keep the format for what I am tracking to self improvement.  We could all meet together and then take a few turns doing the runs and document as we complete.  The honor system works just fine also…so if you want to get on the spread sheet, just post on this thread with your times and I will add accordingly.

Course Marking…..I would gladly put some arrows out, supplied by Craig, so it is clear what our path of travel is…..I can also do a sketch of the course and post it online also.

Let's start voting on which days would work best, if we want to attempt doing this in a group situation.

Post up…..
