We had an exceptional night for the Time Trial especially considering it is early October. The temperature was 62 degrees and the Southwest breeze had settled down to what felt like maybe 5mph.
Five TTers came out to tackle the TT course. The Fastest Man Time (FMT) goes to Sam Sampere as he flew through the course with a blistering time of 25:12 (23.81mph). He's been consistently hitting the low 25 min mark the past month after a delayed start in his training regimen this year. Ken Toscano continues his string of sub-26 minute times in the RoadAero division. He flew through the course with a time of 25:57 (23.12mph) which is only 25 sec off of his PR division leading time.
Our guest Dante Hatem didn't trust my markings on the last turn of the course and lost over a minute as result. He may get a chance at redemption and perhaps give Sam some competition if the weather holds for another week. Dick and Rich put in very solid times despite their cold weather gear.
The long range forecast is predicting temps staying in the 60-70 degree range for the next week. So, we shall see if also remains dry as well.
I'll keep you posted.

PS: TTers - I made a 2 second correction to all of the times in your favor. I started my phone timer 2 seconds after the laptop timer and used my phone timer to start each rider.
