First TT
To disable ads, please log-in.
Last Saturday I participated in my first ever Time Trial!!! It was such a cool experience....Philadelphia closes off West River Drive in the summer and for years, cyclists have been holding informal, volunteer-run time trials. The course is 8.35 miles. I was able to finish in 23.54 min. with and avg. speed of 21.28. This was such a rush and so fun...I would recommend the River Drive TT to anyone in the area who is even just a little curious about TT's!

great job
Thats a great time for your first ride. I am a volunteer at the timing table for our local TT. We have it at the speedway and it is a total of 10 miles. I might actually get out for my first ride in the June one.

Wow, nicely done. I have never raced, but the TT has always attracted me. I know nothing 'bout nothing when it comes to racing, but your avg speed sounds fast!
