TWO MAN Time Trial - OPINIONS PLEASE

The race in Smithfield on June 27th is going to be a Time Trial.  I would like to make it a two-man team time trial but would like some input and get an idea of how many people would be interested in it.  I would also offer individual categories so that it is not limited to those racers who have a teammate to race with.  The big question I have is how much does everyone care about the BAR points.  Individuals cannot earn BAR points in a team time trial, only the team can earn the points.  So if I were to make it a BAR event, how many of you would do the individual event just so you could earn individual BAR points.  What if no BAR points were given?  Would that effect your decision to race?  The thing that I would really like to do, and the primary focus of the race is the 2-man Team Time Trial.  The individual TT will be included as not to limit the racers, but I don’t want that to make up the majority of the race.  So here are some of my options:

No BAR points.  Larger prizes will be offered in the team competition (maybe only bragging rights in the individual competition).
Team BAR points for the 2-man TTT and no BAR points in the individual competition.
Team BAR points for the TTT and BAR points for the individual competition.  Prizes would be offered in the TTT but not the individual.

I am open for suggestions and opinions.  I have not heard of a TTT in this area ever.  So I wanted to do this as a way to add variety to our racing.  The more feedback I get the better I can make this event. 

The start of this race is going to be just a couple of blocks from Main St. where they will be having their Olden Days Festival.  Originally this race was going to be a crit in the middle of the festival.  When the festival organizers approached the town departments about the race, it was shot down for safety of the festival attendees.  The crit was going to cross Main St. in two parts and they were concerned with 7,000+ people at the festival that it would be hard to keep people off the course.  We were asked if we could move the race to the Sunday and they would continue the festival for us, minus all the venders on Main St.  This would help keep people safer.  The Reston Crit was already on the calendar when that request was made.  This time trial is our compromise.  What they want from us next year is to do the time trial on the Saturday of the festival, then a crit on the next day.  So the more successful I can make this race, the more likely we can have another Main St style of race in the near future.  So your input is very important.

Thank you.

Stumble! What's the Point?

I stumbled upon this picture. I have seen this a couple of times and it always makes me laugh. I would like to know where this is and who decided to put it up.




Although if you look closely there is a pretty important message.

What a Weekend!

First of it started on Thursday when the weather for the weekend began to look really bad.  I had to start developing a back-up plan for the Sleepy Hole Smackdown.  Advice to race promoters...have a back up plan already in place and a rain date set if you think their might be a reason to postpone your race.  I worked on Friday at the fire station so I was trying to finalize everything from there.  My wife was running the home front stuff trying to get everything ready in case we did have the race.  I got the notice at around 12 noon that unless something unusual happened it was approved to move the date of the race to the 22nd.  I wanted to make the call early to ensure that everyone got the word and everyone could alter their plans.

Wouldn't you know that the weather in Suffolk was nothing like predicted.  Wet roads from the night before but no rain until noon, then just light for the rest of the day.  I was a little stressed out.  I received two calls from the course in the morning.  One from a guy who drove from Raliegh and one from Lynchburg.  I felt bad.  I just hope the weather is really great next Sunday.

The Dismal Dash was being run rain or shine (like a TT should).  Rain it was.  This was the day I had expected on Saturday.  I was at the course early (9 am) because All About Bikes race Mitch Hunt, who was supposed to be the standby EMT, was hit by a car last week and couldn't do it.  So me and teammate John Gray did the EMT duties.  Our start times were altered so we weren't on the course at the same time.  So it was a long day in the cold and wet.  But I got a good warm up and made my way to the start line.

Here are my bucket of excuses:  My computer didn't work so I had no idea what my speed or cadence was.  My shield got fogged, wet and whatever but I couldn't see anything.  That actually scared me a little.  I felt like I was looking through a straw.  I only hit one pot hole though that I couldn't clear.  The turns were done very slow though. 

All and all though I posted a PR for that course...by 5 minutes.  Now it didn't put me at the top but it did take me off the bottom so I was pleased with that.  1:04:21.  Not bad.  I might become a time trialist one day if I'm not careful.

So then it was off to home to try and get warm and drunk...both successful.

Sleepy Hole Smackdown Rescheduled

I have decided, based on the current weather conditions, the forecast and the safety of all racers to postpone the Sleepy Hole Smackdown. Because a large amount of racers are coming from 2+ hours away, I wanted to make this decision early to allow everyone to change their travel plans. So if we wake up to sunny and 70, then I’m sorry (I don’t think that will happen though).

I have secured the make-up date.  The race will be held on Sunday, March 22nd.  Registration will reopen on BikeReg shortly.  If you haven’t registered please do so.

Any questions please feel free to contact me.  Thank you for your understanding.

Where are all the Cat 3 racers?

What else is happening this weekend that has taken all the Cat 3 racers from racing?  I have always thought that a Cat 3 only category was a good thing.  It seems like a rarity these days but, I have always said that was one category I would ensure I would include on the races I promoted.

That will probably change.  The first race of the year other than the training races are happening this weekend.  We currently have 10 racers registered for the Cat 3 race.  5 of them are from my team that I put in.  Unfortunetly what this does is show other promoters throughout the rest of the season not to hold a Cat 3 only race.  So for any Cat 3 racer with ambition to upgrade, you need to already be good enough to beat the Cat 2 and 1s to earn those points.  Plus it will allow BAR competitions to be won by the time trialist since that is where the majority of the points will come from.

I know I sound bitter, but I'm just a little disappointed.  I love to race Cat 3 races.

What's the reason?  Any ideas?
