Hines Park Time Trial

Eddie Merckx division. Standard Road Bike, no aero bars, spoked metal rims. Finished 9th out of 46. In at 32:15 (12 miles)

This is an excellent race on a closed course - no traffic except the other bikes passing me. I went one second faster than last year, so at least I did not get worse. It was a personal best average speed in a time trial, 24.1. But even with that, "average" is definitely an appropriate way to describe my speed. The Cat 4s seem to get faster and faster every year at this race.
