Oh!  Yea of little faith!

While it was raining cats and dogs til about 5pm in the Manlius area there had been just a brief shower that touched the northern part of the TT course .   The skies had cleared over the TT course and the breeze had dried the roads on 80% of the course.

Only one person trusted the self-anointed weather Oracle today.  The FMT (Fastest Men's Time) was registered by Dick Rybinski who blasted through the breeze in a time of 32:45(18.32mph).  Dick broke his streak of identical TT times.

Random Note:  As I swept the course I came across a felled tree that had blocked 75% of the road at mile 9 on Black Creek Rd. A local stopped by and helped me move it and then stated that it hadn't been there in the morning.   When I got to the start, Dick and I chatted with a cyclist who had just finished 2 practice laps on the TT course.  He stated that the tree fell between his two practice run!. Dang!  No more than 30 minutes before the time I had driven through.  That could have been ugly.

Don't forget about the Vuelta !

Til next week.
