Details: http://www.ottawabicycleclub.ca A little light rain and cool temperatures may have scared away hundreds of time trialists tonight, but an undauntable collection of 7 men and 7 women arrived enthusiastic to do the event. Ok, that's a slight exaggeration - we had to do a bit of a sales job to entice Louise to do it on her heavy commuting mountain bike! Anyway, in conditions such as this, the most common question is "What, oh what, should I wear to the proceedings?", and the advice, not all taken, might have been among other things, "Long sleeves", "Sneakers if that's all you've got here", "Not light coloured jeans if you're the bike holder", "Metuzal's shoes", "Kathy's aero helmet if you ride a mountain bike", and "A flashing red rear light".
All foolishness aside, there were no season/series bests tonight, but four riders exceeded 95% of their 2006 OTT previous best cube speed.

Congratulations to Greg for his 1st place finish and to Sue for finishing 2nd overall, 22 seconds behind Greg. This was Sue's closest finish to Greg thus far this year.
