Hi Everyone,

 

the Tuesday night TTs will be starting again very shortly (May 1), so it would be good if we could get volunteer time-keepers arranged. It’s all very easy. All you need to do is turn up to St.Benedict’s Church (11743 38^th Street South Horace ND) at about 6:15pm (for a 6:30pm start) with a pen, paper, and a stopwatch of some kind. You just write down competitors’ names, decide on their start times (riders start at 30 second intervals), and record their finishing times. Everything is usually all over by 7:15.

 

I’ve listed the dates below, so just write your name next to anyone that suits. Thanks.

 

Let’s ride!

I would be glad to volunteer, but I am moving at the end of April. If the club ever plans anything out in western ND, let me know and I would be glad to help.

I'll be there. And don't worry. I'm an ambidextrous stopwatch operator.
Looks like its going to be a great night.

[Coleman, Martin]

 

Hi All,

Hi Tim,

The first rider goes off at 6:30pm from outside St. Benedict’s church (11743, 38^th St. South, Horace). Most people start arriving at around 6:00 – 6-15pm for a bit of a warm up. Hope to see you there.

Hi All,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the fourth time trial of the season. They are forecasting much lighter winds than last time out, so there should be a good chance of posting a fast time.

Spencer/ Jon D. – are you still OK for stopwatch duties?

Thanks.

[Coleman, Martin]

Hi All,

Just to remind you that it’s time trial time again this Tuesday. A few things:

 

Firstly, a big thank-you to Steve and Benjamin Wenzel for stepping into the breach on July 10 and July 24 to take responsibility for the stopwatch.

 

Secondly, Ben (Ahrens) could you confirm that you are still OK for timing duties this week?

 

Thirdly, would anyone like to volunteer to run the watch for the final time trial on August 21?

[Ben Ahrens]

I'll be there.  Remind me when I need to show up and what I should bring. 

[Coleman, Martin]

Hi Ben,

All you need is a timepiece that records seconds (stopwatch, digital wristwatch, heart-rate monitor etc.), and a pen and paper. If you get there about 6:15pm this will give you plenty of time to write everyone’s names down (it is a good idea to make a note of the jerseys people wear or bikes they ride too so you can recognize unfamiliar riders as they come into the finish). Start riders off at 30 second intervals (let the faster riders go last), and record their start and finish times. That’s all there is to it. Thanks for helping out.

Best,

Martin

Hi All,

Just to remind you that tomorrow is the tenth (and final) time trial of the series. I can run the clock (unless anyone else wants to take a turn), so all you need to do is bring your bike and some strong legs. A big thank-you goes out to everyone who has competed this year, and helped to make the event the success that it has been.

See you Tuesday.

Best,

[Coleman, Martin]

 

Tonight's time trial results were:

 

1. Taylor K. 18:21

2. Adam B. 18:47

3. Gerrald F. 21:06

4. Dave B. 21:27

 

Thank-you to everyone who has participated in the series this year. See you on the road.

[Steve & Ericka Wentz]

Thanks for taking his on and keeping it running smooth Martin.

Yes, a big "Thank You" to Martin for lining up time keepers, posting times and keeping the event alive for area cyclists!
