Friday’s TT was a pretty good test to start off the season with. The course had a bunch of switchbacks but never really got too steep ever. I was pleased with my effort, though somewhat surprised by the efforts of everyone else here racing. The GC is pretty tightly packed, but there are 20 riders ahead of me so I’ve got some work to do on that…

The weather was sunny but windy for my TT run and no more than five minutes later the skies really let loose. It rained steadily for the remainder of the afternoon then.  Things are so much greener on this side of the mountain, its cool to get the real life geography lesson on how the mountains affect the precipitation patterns. I saw Brent Bookwalter today, which reminded me of how nice this rainy day was compared to the weather at collegiate nationals last October…

I’ll try to get some pictures on here, but at least I’ll update after the RR. Until then, TJ
