una carrera contrarreloj
Myself + 9 guys from my team going. You buying the beers? We're a thirsty group.
BTW, I'll make sure to come introduce myself Saturday at Branchbrook... you'll be there to defend your podium(s) right?

Cat 3 green: myself and two other Threshold Cycling teammates.
Cat 4 (color?): 12 teammates.
Cat 5: 4 teammates
I'm actually really excited this year for bKill as I'm not prioritizing the race (I've peaked for it the previous 2 seasons) so I'm really gonna enjoy the experience this time a round as opposed to be super stressed about it. That said, my fitness feels just high enough that i'm not scared. Really cant wait for the weekend.

Quite a few guys from this area are headed that way with some PSIMET wheels. Keep your eyes open.

After last year, I'm not doing that one again until I find myself coming into April with some actual fitness! Have fun, everyone.

I'll be there, with 7 teammates in Cat 3 Black. Has anyone heard anything regarding the conditions of the course? It looks like it will rain throughout the week, which will change things up - but I would be interested to hear from anyone who had pre-ridden recently...

Last I knew the dirt roads were hardpacked and not too bad. Who knows what will happen between now and then.

Saturday: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 53. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
maybe some sprinkles as of now, only a 30% and its stayed at that the past two days. Lets hope there is no rain/snow because the cat 5 field in particular would be a mess.
