Hello.

Does anyone know if there are still TTs there? Any experiences?

They will be starting back up again next year. Don't know if that will be the last or not. Plenty of talk around about how much longer they will do this.

Yeah, now that Humpy's retired, it will be interesting to see how long it continues. Sucks.

Is it a good event to ride?

Not a ride event. But a full-fledged time trialing event. If you like to pay to be in pain, then it's a good event. ;)

Of course; I didn't think a TT was a social event.

What I meant was is it well organized and worth the effort.

Well worth it. If you're thinking about it. Do it. Like I said, who knows how long this will be happening.

You're going to the wrong TTs. The last one I attended had an organized picnic afterwards. Which was nice, because the TT itself was, of course, no picnic.

There's drinking and fun after the event. People tend to hang out a while and chat it up about "shouda's and coulda's."

If they have them!

I sent an e-mail inquiring about whether there would be a series next year. The response was "we hope so - check the website after the first of the year to find out".

Hmmm, I think if you can go to a picnic and keep the food down you didn't ride your TT all-out!
