Yesterday I rode with TT, a fellow recumbent bike rider whom I met in Portland, north from his place up to Big Lake along the Centennial Trail and beyond. Total mileage was about 76 miles.
The destination was a 5.5 mile time trial up a hill held every year by the Skagit Valley Bicycle Club.
Thanks to Marshall the marshall who timed us and sagged.
TT handled this time trial (also known as a TT) quite well showing me and the other rider just how it’s done. I finished third 🙂 a full six minutes and change behind TT.
This picture is my meager iPhone-attempt at capturing the amazing view from the top of little mountain park.

I’m pretty tired today after all that riding. My 60 min, commute-based, conditioning doesn’t do much to prepare for an 80 miler with a Hillclimb sprint.
Thanks to TT for pulling me all the way back.
Beautiful!
