One Mile Time Trial Preview
(video preview of the Inner Harbor/One Mile TT, sorry for the shaky camera)
On Monday a bunch of guys from the MaxPowerCycling Team and I decided to test ride the new One Mile Time Trial course for the Syracuse Race Weekend. Since Sam and I decided to forgo the Street Sprints in favor of a short Time Trial there have been questions about the course.
I previously previewed the course with Matt Howey of spokepost and we determined a good way around it. This time the team came out to checkout the course and give feedback. Andy Ross and Dave Faso broke out the TT bikes to test them out on the course. I was concerned that using aerobars might not be a good idea along the creekwalk, but there are enough flat stretches where aerobars would be useful. So, I will not say that I do not recommend their use. I just ask that everyone use proper judgment on when to use them.
