first Time Trial for Tri Club a Success

thanks to Michelle, Leslie, Tim, Paul, Lloyd, Genevieve, for being at the very first Kempenfelt Tri Club Time Trial. The 20 km course proved to be difficult. Full of hills & turns. Tim Hatch completed the time trial in 35 mnutes. My understanding is Lloyd did extremely well and that's after biking to Bidwell Rd. from Allandale (over 25km). congrats Lloyd. Tim & I are already planning on finding two more sites that will become regular TT for the KTC. These we promise will be flatter & with any luck with a little less traffic, not that Bidwell was out of control. Safety must be an objective. For members who live in the southwest corner of Barrie, if you could make a few recommendations for Tim & I it would be greatly appreciated. Asphalts roads are always a big bonus, new asphalts roads that is. I rode 15/16 sideroad last night thinking it might be a good selection from 3rd line to 13th line. It's ok but i think we can do better. please let us know. cheers everyone! ijamie63@rogers.com

our first Time Trial

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Barrie&state=ON

Tues. May 5th, @ 6pm on Bidwell Rd. across from KOA campground. Distance is a 20km time trial. I'll post times on this blog & eventually on our KTC website.
from barrie, easiest way to get there is head north on 400, exit Forbes Rd. head east towards Dalston. travel .8km and you will run into Hwy 93 also known as Pentaguishe Rd. turn left (north) and keep going until you see KOA campground. You should see Bidwell Rd. travel 1km for best parking.
