2019 MRC Double Cannibal TT Challenge (MRC2XCTTC)

Post by JeremyC »

{EDITED}

I'd like to bring this back by popular demand (ok no one actually demanded it). The reward will be bragging rights as the MRC TT champion(s) of 2019 at the holiday party (and possible prizes TBD):

The competition will last to July 4th. We've added a second course (see below). There will be 2 categories by age:

Cat 1: 40+(USAC Road Racing Age)
Cat 2: Under 40

The Segments:

1) The Charlie Baker TT course in Concord MA: https://www.strava.com/segments/2142660?filter=overall
2) The Millbury TT Course https://www.strava.com/segments/4242774

The Rules:

NOT ALLOWED: TT Helmet, Aero/TT/Tri/Clip On Bars, disc wheels, drafting
Allowed: Aero-road gear, Aero helmet, skin suit, shoe covers (obviously)

How do you do it:
1) Crush the courses (flying start allowed) - Total time across the 2 courses
2) Post your Strava times on here with the title MRC2XCTTC (because we love acronyms)
3) Repeat as necessary until you are sick of time trialing
4) I will buy a beer for the 1st person to post
5) Kevin Teves will track your times in a Google Sheet :)

Enjoy

We should do a group ride. I lap warm up, one lap individual and one lap team TT.
The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.

i'm in. I've only ever done it as a hard effort 4 times, all of them around 26mins and 250w NP, so hoping to see if I can do it at 290-300 (gotta work on the mental focus holding power outside), no idea how much time that would shave off, but I'll give it a try!

Here it is (well, it's actually ~400 meters short but this is the most accurate segment): https://www.strava.com/segments/4242774

Millbury 23:31. That was my first time, already thinking about things I could have done better.

I won't win. But that Sutton tt is really close to me. I could take a few shots at it. The other one will be tricky.
