But I thought the SkinnyPhat 2019 time was the target?!? I've already made room in my sock drawer!

24:56

Rough go of it today. Rookie move I forgot my shoe covers. Probably cost me the fastest time. 30:29

26:22.

26:51. Midway on Walnut St. I hear a very loud freewheel closing in behind me. I think I picked up my pace after Chris passed me.

24:44 If you want socks beat this time. I won't be trying again

Any workmen on Walnut?

Nothing I can recall although I was deep in the cave. Certainly nothing that impeded my progress.

Good news - 24:12
Bad news - still 10 days left...

Alice with a 29:29 today and (by default..) the QOM

That's worth a pair of socks!

Man that course is beautiful! Century Mill is one of the prettiest roads I've ridden.

Gave it my best tonight, but only managed 25:42. Would like to get back for another attempt - we'll see if its in the cards.

Any advice on how to get the Garmin to pick up the segment? I tried a few times from different starting points, but it kept reading off segment...

It did that for me too AJ. It was annoying but in the end I just rode to RPE. I think the error may have had something to do with the start and end at the same point from different directions.

Out of 3 times on the course it worked for me once, so I'm thinking it has to do with GPS signal/drift. Maybe Century Mill is a funky area.
Of course that really isn't very helpful...

Thanks guys - good to know its not my Garmin. And also doesn't explain the extra minute I spent on course

4 Days left. I got new socks from Oscar and they are lovely. Also Rees are you going to let Mingori win the Director's Jacket? Boos you have at least 4 more tries left in you correct?

Thanks for the vote of confidence Cratty!
My birthday is on the 31st, so I say if Rees doesn't take it back by end of day Saturday then it's an early gift
Just applies to Rees; anyone else the 31st is still fair game!

Very cute Dave!

I'm going to rename it MINGORITT

It's all about the socks!
Alice says she'll keep her socks unused and extend the challenge another 2 weeks (thru 6/14) to any MRC women that beat her time. Will add an MRC water bottle (the clear version) to the mix:

Socks plus the water bottle to the best MRC women's time
MRC water bottle (clear version) to any MRC woman to beat her time.

I gave a go at it again today 24:18. Happy birthday Dave, I am not going to be taking it from you.

Did I have 7 more seconds in me? The way I was feeling this morning and during the ride... Answer, no. Almost gave up halfway through. Deceptive course.

24:19

Impressive time Ben. 1 more day will we have a surprise????
