TTT Training in Durham, CT

We loaded up three of the four TTT racers and Megan in the van and headed to Durham, CT today. Megan and Mr. Jannke rode a picturesque 15 mile loop with some nice hills. The 3 racers did a little warmup and then rode the TTT course hard (same one that they will race next Sunday). They averaged 21+ mph for the first 7.6 miles and then hit the hills. Their final average dropped just below 19 mph, but their VAM (measure of vertical performance) was the highest ever. We need to get Steven back out there to see how they perform as a team before the LHS Cycling Club's first ever TTT. Exciting! All 5 of us did a nice pace line home, with Megan enjoying her pull at the front and the overall team pace and spirit high.

General route....


Xavier taking a break as they successfully climbed the big hills and stayed intact as a group. This led to a fast downhill and strong group uphill finish. Not bad for the first time.
