Today is it! This is the moment of truth. Today is when we do the time trial, we will see how much improvement we each made from the first time trial while adding more participants. This will apply more pressure on each rider as the unranked riders will play a huge role as wildcards. Truly I think the top three position is up for grabs and rankings will change. The first time trial, I posted a time of 18:48, good enough to post first out five riders. I believe this time is not good enough to hold, I will have to be better just to stay in the top three as will everyone else. I myself have improved physically and and my endurance have improved in the last 8 months, this is what I offer for todays race. From what I've seen, just about every rider has improved physically through training. We shall see the results after todays ride. There will be no drafting, this will be a true physical test of who the strongest on a somewhat flat course, I say this because a climbing route is totally a different route which will require a different skill and physique and the rankings of todays time trial will not apply to a climbing time trial. Eventually, we will have to test the rankings of a climbing time trial. I have an idea how that ranking will end up...My goal is to successfully defend my rank, this will be a difficult task as a few riders are very strong and experienced. I will try my best and the riders that come ahead of me will truly earn their ranking.
