Day 18 - Time Trial 3

In the late afternoon my wife and I went to Mission trails to help our cycling club with a time trial. A time trail is a event in which bike riders ride three different stages against the clock to see who is the fastest rider. I've participated in two or three time trials since I have been in the club and they are a blast! As the defending champ in the expert division in our last club time trial, I was kinda of bummed that I couldn't ride to defend my title. At least I could watch and lend a hand. I helped with the timing of the bike riders and my wife took pictures. The event went over well thanks to the efforts of Jaime, president, and his wife Sonia, treasurer, and some key volunteers. We had nine bike riders participate. No one got hurt...though Kyle did a endo (flew over his handlebars) after hitting a tree; Kyle blazed the fastest time overall. Even though I couldn't ride my bike it felt good to get out on my walker, see friends, and help with the event. Here is a picture of the bike riders who took home the bling.
