Tonight was a rather slow time trial night for many, perhaps because the headwind on the way out diminished a little before it served as a tailwind on the way back. Regardless, the increased fitness/experience levels allowed 33 of the 70 who had ridden previously in a 2005 OTT event improving upon their previous 2005 OTT best. The first place woman, Tricia Spooner, had a phenomenal improvement with a ride tonight which was faster than 40km/h. There was excellent riding from the Veteran D men with two of the four exceeding 40km/h. You may see the complete list of Veteran D Male performances which are faster than 40km/h by clicking here.
