That's rocking bike time.

They should really eyeball those results before posting. 

Anyway, how was it for everyone? Tough day out there, esp if you were in the later waves.

Yah, it was a bit hot, but not as bad as I anticipated.  And I think Saturday in Central MN was hotter, so likely the Liberty racers suffered more heat than the Trinonans.  

I was pleased with my race.  Race report is now in my blog.

Hilly isn't quite right.  10 miles of rollers followed by a 1.2 mile wall in the middle of the course leading up to a 4 mile stretch of strong headwinds,  http://app.strava.com/activities/10585654

Check out that max speed, 51.4mph!  That's an all time high for me.

51.4!!  Cripes!  I thought I was fast down that hill - my bike computer showed a max speed of 48 and I passed one biker and several cars and a ref.  Quite the exhilerating descent!

That bike course is a great one.  The big hill along with the wind and heat slowed things a bit.

It was a hot day out there.  I really suffered near the end of the run.  I had one of those "oh crap, I'm not sweating anymore" moments about a mile from the finish with no choice but to run it in.

Very well described bike. I liked the pre-race meeting....."there will be an ambulance station at the top of the hill, as well as the bottom of the hill". Thankfully I didn’t need either one and hope know one else did either. Much respect for the guys that did it on a mountain bike.  There was one guy that must have been 6'6", 260lbs +.   

I hit an all time record of 50mph on descent. At one point it was pointless to even pedal becuase there was no resistance.  Crazy, but man was it fun!  I wonder what some top speeds were for the day......60-70mph?
