We haven't had rain like that anywhere near the time frame of the July cancellation so I'm thinking that it WAS either the 40k route was bunged up, or they had to do some other construction nearby to fix something and it involved digging up and redoing a section of road.

My g/f lives up in Canyon Country so I could have driven there on my weekend turns up at her house to see what exactly the deal might have been but it was never really worth the gas or time to find out. I guess us I'll find out Sunday when I'm on-course.

I just only got into TTing a few months before June's Piru. I previously had done bike portions of the Bonelli trialthlons while a buddy swam and ran. So it equated to a TT for me. I've only ridden Piru once, and like any first couple times on a course, you're just trying to get the course down, shift points, etc. Yeah the rolling hills are a drag but I don't mind it when it's all said and done. I detest them like the devil when I'm doing them though!

I'll be interested to get out to Tom's Farm, Santiago Cyn, and Fiesta to learn those courses too since I haven't done any of them yet.
