Told some of you guys about this tonight on the pretzel ride. I think this info is right. Double-checked with the guy who told me about it, so....

its not really a competition, its more of a way to become faster at time trialing. the guy who does it has a laptop and measures your time over the course of the year to track your progress.

i dont see why you'd be upstaging roadies since they are probably faster than you are anyway

Right on, thanks for the correction.
Upstaging roadies? Nah. I doubt it. Faster than me? Sure. Lots of people are faster than me.
Should still be fun, though.

Do you need to commit to it, or can you just show up? Does it cost anything?
