"Tubbs" (me) has signed up. Is Crockett (Ryan) coming?
Can't wait to finish mid-pack in the 4's with a devastating 5'25".

I'll be there for the priviledge of having Roger Aspholm beat me.
Maybe we can get a nice ride in afterwards.

If I can get a babysitter and it's under 90 I'm in.

A ride to Piermont after sounds good.
Cant' wait for Aspholm to do a sub 4'20".

Ahhh... a weekend of uphill Time Trials as this intrepid season roars into Summer.
Jun 22, 2012 at 01:53 AM
Cielo don't got nothing on Alpine. But it is 3x longer.
Jun 22, 2012 at 01:57 AM
Well......more consecutive weeks off the bike than on in the last few months but what the hell, I registered.
I figure ive lost about 60w off my 5 minute power and gained about 7lbs so im not expecting anything other than motivation to train.
Jun 22, 2012 at 02:14 AM
I'm in for riding after as well. I've actually never ridden this climb, but I figure it'll be a fun test regardless.

Start times are up - not really ideal for the group ride after
8:46:30 Ashley Bernes
8:54:00 Adam Fabian
9:57:00 Jeff Owens
10:22:30 Ryan Johnston
10:55:30 J.p. Partland

Go without me. I understand.
bummer.
Jun 22, 2012 at 06:55 PM
I have no problem hanging around a bit afterward. Ashley, do you want to meet up and ride there together? Ryan and Jeff, not sure what time you'll head up there.
Jun 22, 2012 at 06:55 PM
Do repeats until JP is done.
Jun 22, 2012 at 06:58 PM
I'll wait for you, Ryan. Always and forever....
Jun 22, 2012 at 07:10 PM
Sorry guys, no sitter. Going to do Mr. Mom repeats instead. I'll be out on Sunday though.
Jun 22, 2012 at 07:13 PM
Go without me. I understand.Meh, we'll see. If Jeff waits for me, then we're only a half hour waiting for you. Worst case, we could go on up to Piermont and meet you there to ride back together. Seems workable.bummer.

I don't know any results yet, but the finish was just past the tank, seemingly forever past the "no passing" sign. I think I did around a 5:20. So I'll take that.
Best part was Ryan racing with his second-nut-sack (saddle bag) on! Easily 2-3 lbs. Haha. I'm sure he still did great. We are so f'n PRO.

Had hoped to go under 5 based on last weekend with William where we did 4:47 to the crest, but with full bottles, full pockets, etc.
Yeah, the saddle bag thing was IDIOTIC. I emptied my pockets, took off my bottles, and left THAT. It was stuffed full because it had Owens' stuff in it too - a tube, tire lever, a few cartridges, a mini multi-tool. It was heavy. I also had trouble shifting into the big ring coming over the top and I'm sure that cost me a few seconds. Probably should have just left it in the small and spun it up hard.
Oh well, I'll end this excuses segment by saying I think the winning 3 time was 4:48 as far as I heard, and I wasn't doing that no matter what. So, whatever.
Nice muffin ride with Jeff and Adam after.

You also gotta consider we did a proper standing start, no 20 mph running start like most usually count!
And it was a good, what, 20 feet from the pavement change and around the corner?
Again, I'm not fast uphill, but the times are way different than a straight running start only until the No Passing sign.

I would say Jeff Owen's ride is most impressive!
Especially since Alexsei Zakharov has already submitted his 3 upgrade.
Jun 24, 2012 at 02:27 AM
I'll take 5th, for an old fatty-cakes that's out of shape it's a decent time @ 5:18. And being only 11 seconds slower than Aspholm.......AND RYAN JOHNSTON!!! That's right, RJ officially tied RA in an uphill TT. Props!

And Adam F with a 6th in the 5's. Nice work Adam.
Jun 24, 2012 at 11:22 PM
Thanks Jim. It probably would have helped a bit if I had ridden the climb at least once before the race (although Ashely and I did soft pedal our way up for a warmup), but it was a fun ride and felt good to compete.

that's Quinn Keough!
he was at my house 6 weeks ago . . . we went on a ride up to piermont . . . very nice dude.
he also sprinted so fast on 9W that he got in the draft of a passing truck . . . i was like "bwuh!??"
