Jack Frost Time Trial Pre-Race Thoughts



Joanne and I did not attend this years Death Valley Training Camp, we are in town for the Jack Frost Time Trial. Jack Frost is a twelve mile, very flat time trial. Since it is run in February, the weather is usually not perfect. This year will be no except. The weather forecast is for rain and winds from the south.

We will ride this on our Yellow Meridian tandem with our race wheels. I worked all week getting it ready, and it is now fully tuned. The bike will not give us any problems.

Joanne and I are not "racers". We do not train for these short, fast rides. I would rather ride 60 miles on hills. But for some strange reason, I am really looking forward to this race.

Our expectations are low. I only hope not to finish last. But if we do, I won't shed a tear.

Wish us luck!
