Battling Crosswind at Stanley
Jordan and I opted for the Stanley TT on Sunday. The old course couldn't be used due to construction, so instead, we did an out-and-back 16.4mi course south of town. The course ran N-S, so the strong WNW wind made for a fast tail crosswind on the way out, and a very tough cross headwind on the way back. In case that wasn't enough, the course rolled quite a bit, with the low point at the turnaround.
I had a good ride of 38 flat, averaging 25.9mph. Unfortunately, it was only good for 4th. Ian Stanford beat out Lance Niles for the victory by 9 secs, in 36:20 (27.1mph ave). Mike Clapperich came in 3rd in 37:06. Both Jordan and Jake won their respective junior classes.
