The tt course will be fun
A fair bit of up and down, a couple good spots for aero positioning and a lot of short blocks where it will basically just be one long arc. Not sure how it will race but it was fun to ride this morning. There is one whoop de whoop where there is a gentle climb up and then the ground just plummets away from you and then it flattens out at the bottom for a road crossing and then shoots back up again. That spot where it flattens out looks like it isn't possible to do at speed but it can be done. We also turn down some little alley way that is covered for a block - looks like we are pulling into a bank teller.
So we start, hammer two blocks make a left and a long block later a right. Then we cruise 8 blocks mostly up with that whoop de whoop in there, then take a right up a steep pitch then a block later make another right going down pretty good. That levels out and climbs a little and we are on that leg for 4.5 blocks. Then another right (down hill) followed a block later by a sweeping left which continues to go down for three blocks. then it is an slight uphill left, one block, right, one block, left, one block, right into the covered alley for two blocks then a left for a short block followed by a right for two blocks with a gentle left curve/ chicane for two blocks then right, one block,right, two blocks, left 1/2 block, right and then it is hammer the two blocks to the finish.
Hot and sunny here today.
I am hoping for a little cooler tomorrow.
