MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
Me too. The Pirate talked me into it. Bad TT conditions. Happy with my watts, time wasn't great but it was really slow going out, made up a lot on the back stretch. 23:44 (and I'll take the 5 sec lead on Rees knowing its probably short lived)
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
First ever CBTT attempt yesterday and man was it hard! Went out a little too hot I think and could barely make 200W once I hit River. At 24:06, will need to drop time a bit before I'm in the beer Will be back for sure.
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
Nice job AJ. Yep, not in the beer yet. I am hoping to make another attempt this weekend too.

25:33. Wasn’t going to post a time until I was in the 24’s.
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!

PSA:
A TT means starting from stop. Not a running start.

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)
And BTW running at the start would be very awkward I'm not sure it would help...

Next thing you know we’re gonna have to take the motors out of our bikes!
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
So my time is actually better than what the Strava segment says

Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
Potentially, you would have to analyze it on strava to see. View your segment analytics based on time instead of distance and you will see if strava picked up any standing around time for the segment.

Just thinking if I make it over there, I'm riding in full blast
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
25:22 today. Still not there but improving.
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
30 seconds faster on the first stretch, 25 seconds slower at the finish. I am quite sure I can snatch back those 25 seconds to at least get into the 24s.
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
25:14 today.
Christian Boos (racing age 15) did 27:06. This was his first TT attempt.

Good job guys, especially Christian!
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
A coffee would be nice. I just wanted to keep trying until I got there. Tuesday will probably be my last crack at it.
Re: MRCCOVID-19TT Challenge through April 30th!
got an attempt in today, finally. Was feeling 1/2 rested, and when I checked this morning, it looked like <5mph winds from the north. This was fake news, and the back half going south felt much harder.
Also, there was a lot of traffic to navigate. The Carlisle turnaround cost me time because cars were having to wait to pass slower moving cyclists. But mainly, I need to get more aero with my position. Watts were there for under 24minutes. I suppose though, rules don't say e-bikes aren't allowed... 24:15. https://www.strava.com/activities/3352896005
Also, turns out this was the tour de Boston day for the CBTT, too, and I don't feel bad about 7/51 today. Tate rocked 21:17, but Mr. Luttick I believe earned some beer...

The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.
