28k Time Trial and picnic at Otsego Park

Did it ever occur to you that an "enjoyable time trial" is an oxymoron? Well, this one came close. The weather in the area was horrible all day - heavy rain, windy, dark. By race time the rain was just a light drizzle and the wind was nearly calm. Regardless of the weather, 34 riders showed up. (Was it the picnic that pulled them out in the rain?) Master Jon Card with a 40:44 came close to his record on this course (40:32); Vet Eric Snider had a 43:16; Senior Anton Tupa 44:00; Junior Corey Brinkman 50:36 and Jamie Galambos 50:42. It's the little things that count in a time trial; see our second chart, below.

Between the race staff and the picnic workers, there were almost as many support people as riders. Steve Sams organized the picnic assisted by Steve Clark,  Dave Komives, the Wagners, Tony Gwin, Gerry Davis and various family members. Nice job! The Otsego Park shelter house was full of good food and packed with noisy eaters. We always knew that club racing was as much a social affair as it was a sport.

The little things count in a time trial. Strength, endurance, strategy - all make a difference. So, especially, does the time trial start. Most do it poorly! See how close some of these times are in this overall table.
