Team Time Trial - 22 September

Gabe and I are looking for two more Draughters to enter a team in the Crankmaster’s 20 km team time trial in Airdrie on 22 September.  Clark, this means you.  For those of you who have never done a team time trial before, I won’t sugar coat it.  We will ride in a tight paceline taking approximately 30 second pulls at the front, before rotating through to recover and repeat 90 seconds later.  For safety we will all ride road bikes, because we don’t really know what we are doing, so having access to brakes will be a good thing.  The goal is to average 40 kph or better, so it should be an approximately 30 minute effort, by the end of which you will be starting to lose consciousness while wondering if your heart is going to explode in your chest.  If that appeals to you, please let me know.  We will try to get out at least once before the race to practice so that we can do the Draughters name proud.  As always, the race will be followed by beers.  Thanks, Mike
