HWY 40 TT

Today, I was pretty happy the weather gods were nice and gave us a not so bad day to ride the road bike in the time trial. Having not ridden to much since September I was just happy to be out on my bike. I don't even have 10 rides on this bike yet. Today, was also my first ride on my new wheels. The Addict in itself is already a wicked light bike but with addition of the carbon wheels that are crazy light too made me feel like I was riding a feather. The time trial was billed as 9 miles but I only clocked 8 miles. The HuB was out in full force too. It was nice seeing all the guys out. As for the ride I didn't expect much just to go out and put it down to see how an out of shape racer could do. I felt like I did at the beginning of any season, which is not that great. My clock had my time in the 24 minute neighborhood which is a minute slower than the first time trial I did at the Tour of St. Louis which was also at the beginning of the season. I'm excited to race next season to say the least. I know you get out what you put in so I'll definitely hope to put my fair share of time in to be competitive at the next level.

Look forward to racing and riding with you in 2009. That new bike of yours is totally styling and I'm sure you get more than your fair share of looks from the wanna-be's.
