From my Time Trial race tonight!
Ha! Bet you thought this was about "Furious Floyd.":p
It was a sticky humid evening, strong headwind on the first half, then a strong crosswind coming back. I really struggled and had to dig deep from the 5.5 mile point on, but managed my second best time, and came in second overall, so I was pretty happy. Only 50 seconds off my best time even with the conditions. The heat and humidity really made it tough tonight, and I haven't been able to ride like I would have liked this past week. So tonight was a bit of a "Pain Fest" but I sucked it up and kept pedalling.:) After the sh*tty past 10 days or so I've had, at least something went right!:p ;)

Stop making excuses for your slow pace and take some testosterone. Everyone's doing it! ;)
j/k - good job!

I assumed it was another race report. And it looks like I'm right. :) Congrats on sticking it out and doing so well under those conditions. :beer:

Thanks guys! One other tidbit...I broke the 1,700 mile mark for the season while I was riding my 4 mile warm-up before the TT race. So I'm in really good shape to top the 3,000 mile mark again this season if I stay upright on the bike.:p ;)

^^ ha ha....well thanks, but this is a club TT series, so it's not like I was second to Floyd.;) But I'm thinking next season, I'm going to cut out some of the longer rides and maybe focus on bigger Time Trial events. We'll ride sometime when your better....I have a feeling you're a solid rider.;) and we know you can climb...you live in NH!:D

Well done cycle17. My club still thinks nothing of dropping me on group rides, so I know you'd massacre this old fart.
I'll be crossing over 1,400 miles tomorrow. Lagging a bit on reaching my goal of 4,000 for the year, but with vacation and business travel out of the way, and less than 6 weeks until the Civil War Century - I'm going to be one riding fool.

^^ Hey...1,400 miles is still really good! Even for an old fart like you! :p :D
When I tell people I ride 3,000 miles a year, they look at me like I'm a wacko!! Heck I only put 6,000 miles on my truck last year!!

I still have crap for endurance though.
