I hate to do this, but the Friday Night TT series won’t be happening this year. All of us have a lot going on right now and couldn’t get things together. If anyone wants to step up and takeover we’re happy to lend a hand where we can. We know these have been a Pittsburgh tradition for a while and hate to be the ones to put it on hold but such is life.

Unfortunately we did not pull things together in time for a race tomorrow night. Sorry all! Thanks for joining us this season!

Gorgeous summer weather greeted a solid group for the 40k event. I didn't think to ask who was new to the club, sorry about that! David G. Galati set both the fastest time of the night and a new 1 hour record of 27.97, almost completing a full lap in one minute at the end of the evening. Commendable.

August 17th is another 5 mile event. August 31 is the last event of the year, probably a combination of team events.

Thanks to Nate from Ag3r for volunteering and of course Kelly Collier and Kyle Hitz for organizing.

15 mile ITT results. A warm sultry night brought large fields and fast times. Congrats to Stefanie Sydlik Porter for breaking her third record! Galati came close but not quite.
Thank you to all our volunteers! We honestly had too many people last night! A good problem to have.
Next week, 7/6 we'll be doing a variety of team events. Please come down! If you don't have a team we can assemble a crew for you, hopefully. (Editor's note: I did one two years ago on a pick up team and it was a blast!)

15 mi TT 6/29/18

While it isn’t a time trial, there is more great local racing happening this weekend just outside of Pittsburgh! Would love to see some of you putting those TT efforts to work on break!

La Prima Espresso Co. Race Weekend Online Registration BikeReg.com - online cycling event registration

We had a great turn out with 40 total riders and were lucky to have the weather hold out all night! Results divided by category for tonight's 5 mile ITT are posted below. Thanks for joining us everyone!

Quick notes about tonight's races:

- We will close the pre reg form around 12:00 today and email/post start times for everyone registered. If you know you're coming tonight, please pre reg before then as it helps registration move along a little faster
https://goo.gl/forms/G42A7LqxIK3ykVjW2

- Any day that calls for a chance of thunderstorms, we will plan to make the call by 4:30 if we are going to cancel/reschedule an event. We will still run TTs in the rain, but if we see any lightning during the event we will have to stop.

- Categories: We will place you in whatever category you choose at registration. Merckx category means road bike only, no aero bars, no disc wheels. We won't get picky about aero helmets since the lines between road and tt helmets are blurred these days.

- After party at Couch Brewery right next to the track! Feel free to hang out and grab a drink with us after the race!

See you all tonight!

Alright, I know everyone has been anxiously waiting to hear what's going on with the Friday Night TT series this year, well here it is! Format will be pretty much the same as last year, $10 entry, NO USAC license needed. Also we will use the same Google Doc pre-reg form from last (you will still pay day of race) and will post it a few days ahead of the event. Racers will go off in order of registration. We are excited to keep this series going and appreciate all those who have volunteered their time and all of you who come out and race! -Kyle

Join us Thursday for the last time trial night of the summer! 5 fast and furious miles!

5 mi TT 9/7/17

Tonight Chris Peltzer toppled the long standing 1hr record at the track! The previous record of 27.3mi, which has stood for 13 years, was bested tonight with 27.6mi! Awesome job Chris!

Thanks to those who pre-registered. Day of registration is allowed and encouraged:-)

In order to make this an engaging and fun event for everyone, we are going to make some changes. Primarily, we are combining some categories and having 2 races instead of 4. I will still give out awards for your original categories, but your results will be sent to USAC in the categories you actually race. Payout will be reduced, but not completely eliminated as implied in the flier in this situation.

The combined categories are:

M 1/2/3, Masters, W 1/2/3, M 3/4 = the A racers
M 3/4/5, W 3/4/5 = the B racers

This means 3/4 racers who want to race the Wrench with the 1//2/3 racers, they can.
If not, the B racers will race a normal oval.

SATURDAY:

The Super G ITT will go off as planned at 9:00am. We will be able to use a generous 2 minute interval. With this we should still be able to finish up by 10:30am.

If day of registration is not large we may have time to do something fun between the two events. More on that tomorrow.

Couch Brewery, right up the street, is supposed to have a food truck at noon.

The Wrench for the A racers will happen at 1:45 to give day-of racers a chance to get to the event. Some delay could occur if large day of registration comes late.This will be a 45 minute Crit. A change of rain is on the horizon for tomorrow afternoon. If we can dodge it, we will. But f we are stuck in the middle, the wrench will turn into the oval at the discretion of the officials

The Oval for the B racers will start at 3:15 pm as planned originally

SUNDAY:

We have the B racers start at the original 11:00 am start. the 30mi original distance will be used unless registration influences a change(shorter)

The A racers will start at 2:30 pm, about 30 minutes earlier than originally planned, but again if large day of registrations shows, a 30 minute delay could happen.

Thursday Night 5 mile TT Race Report; (Mayhew reporting) A warm but low humidity evening. A near record turnout for the event!

Thank you to everyone that showed up and for the immense goodwill and patience you showed us. We have a lot of timing bugs worked out for the 10 miler next Thursday 8/10. We will also have payout for masters and Merckx, depending on total turnout.

Thank you to Cocoa Elite and Coffee Tree Roasters for their prize donations last night.

Thank you to Kelly Collier, Kyle Hitz, Hy Simhan (and his daughters!), Paul Diegelman, Drew Dorko and Kirk Morrison for making last night happen.

Any errors, questions or questions please direct to me.
