April 22, 2008 - King of Burlingame, RI

Sorry for how long this took.Three weeks ago I did my first mountain bike time trial; my firstmountain bike race of any type in fact.It was great fun, technical sections, fast sections, people to catch,people chasing me, no clutter from masses of racers trying to get theirvarying technical skills through challenging sections, blah, blah, blah.I did about as well as I expected, middle of the pack in the sportdivision (11/24), I know I could have done a bit better, I had todismount a few times and run, but at least I was running.I met some great people and pre-rode a bit of the course with Geoff anda couple of his bloggety-blog friends. I would highly recommend this asa future team event. It comes early in the season, is local, and has thepotential to provide the team some good exposure. Shit, Refunds couldset up a table a do a few tax returns in the parking lot.Sorry I missed Battenkill.I'm heading up to Warren on Sunday for the Palmer race (3 of us areregistered fro the 4/5 over 35 race). For the following weekend, whatcat are people doing for Blue Hills.Scott.
