The conditions Tuesday night were pretty much as predicted.  The temperature was 1-2 degrees cooler than predicted, but. all else was what we expected.  Five riders shrugged off the steamy temps to challenge themselves in the Race of Truth.  Susan Andersson decided to come out after a two year break.  She gained inspiration from TdF combative strongman  Mathieu Van Der Poel when she questioned if she could keep up her pace "What would Van Der Poel do?"  It was an effective mo ...Continue Reading

I will have the privilege of leading the hilly Gulf and Brinkerhoff ride lots of shade for a hot evening.   In previous years this ride took place near the longest day of the year so there will be less daylight.
