Changes for the 2011 Tuesday Night Time Trials

This user's post has been ignored.

I THINK that's still aero. Some TTs have a LOT of divisions: "no aero components," "aero components but no aero helmet," "aero components WITH aero helmet," "non-aero wheels," etc, etc. I actually like that TNTT is a little simpler.

I think I've done 4 of these in the last 2 years, and I've been to 2 more (and didn't ride). They "hurt" like a 5K - "all out" for under a half hour. It's a great kick in the pants every once and a while. My brother-in-law thinks he's a good biker. And he IS a good biker - better than me for sure. But he still finishes near the top of the BOTTOM half of the pack. The good bikers are CRAZY good!

Should be fun to have more of a meeting place. The last few years, you'd park in the lot and then bike 1/3 of a mile to the start. With the new route, people might be able to "hang out" more. Looking forward to it!

it should be a good change.  also for those who have not done it:  there is a wide range of people that participate.  But yes the top half are crazy good.  i enjoy checking out all the gear that people have.

Good to know about. I always want to do this, but hate the idea of being last or nearly last   Maybe this year...

Yeah, there is a range of abilities, and everyone's welcome. I'm ALWAYS intimidated when I do it, but being it's a "time trial" start (as it IS called the "Tuesday Night Time Trials" after all...), you'll probably be starting mid-pack, and there's no way for anyone at the finish to really know if you just finished in 25:00 or 35:00.

Come check it out! My wife was afraid she'd be last place last year when she tried it for the first time. When the results came it, she was near the back but was THRILLED with her performance! We'll be back for a few this year, I'm sure. Especially because they're talking about bringing out the grills!!........

plus there is also a guy the rides a city hybrid commuter and "wears sweat pants".  I think he even has a shirt/jersey that is titled The sweatpants guy.  (or something like that).  I did it once last year.  started third and got passed by a lot of people.  It was very intimidating at first especially when i went out there and all these people were in the parking lot, on trainers warming up.  But it was fun.  ANd educational

This sounds like a perfect format for doing a lactate test. I hope to be able to make it to some of them this year.

I am trying to find the results from previous years and cannot.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  I know you can't "tell" if you're last, but I am still not psyched about the concept   But I really am just curious to look at them again.

Emily, I found a PDF on my computer from one of the last TNTTs last year. Here's a copy/paste from that PDF. It pasted unformatted, but you can see the MPH as the 3rd to last number in each row. And if you're wondering when you're looking at the time, it's an 11 mile course.

Thanks Steve

Dude!  We'll go together!  I'll pick you up.

I am IN!  Thanks for posting.  I used to do the Black-Dog TT, but it was hard to get there after work.  I can bike to Wayzata !

Just stumbled on this thread. I'm kind of new to the area, and curious what this course is like. It looks like your typical rolling Midwestern TT, but figure I'd ask the experts. I did a few of the Farm Dog TTs late last summer. This course comparable? Roads heavily traveled? Roads in good shape?

If you're free on Sunday, we're gathering  a group to ride out in that area.  You should join us!  I can show you the TT course, which we will actually ride on for a small portion.  Check out my other thread about the ride.

The TT course has long hills and the roads are VERY nice, with wide smooth shoulders.
