Trail Times

Well, I have kind of been neglecting this blog, but such is the case when the activity level on a computer dwindles as the time doing "summer" stuff kicks in. Of course, one of those summer activities includes cycling which I seem to be doing more of this year... YAY!

While on it, I think I will post my best times per trails I ride over in the green section of the column to the right. Just to keep track of it all like my vital stats... This will just establish a record for me for the year and for any others in the 35-39 Sport class riders to compare. Anyway, following was the trigger to do so:

I rode Cannonsburg SGA a week and a half ago and turned in a respectable 33:14 first lap and a 34:04 second lap. Neither of which I pushed on so it gave me a good baseline for my "comfort" pace. Those times were before the second set of re-routes done to the trail this past week. Last night, a group ride hit the trail and on the first lap, I chugged out a 37:07 with the second group of guys going at a moderate pace. The second lap, the guys I rode with on the first decided to keep the pace down so I went out to hold onto the two fast guys as best I could. I held on for a little over 3 of the 4 sections before I stopped getting glimpses of the other two. I turned in a 32:11 to his his 31:14. Yeee haawww! And the estimated time-add for the newly done sections is 2 minutes.

So that's that.
