Our 25 week time trial and hillclimb series came to an end today with the short time trial. Thanks to the statistical magic of Jonathan O’Keeffe, we know that of the 23 events that were held (2 were cancelled), we had 288 people participate (53 distinct riders of which 16 were first timers – that’s impressive!).
The Time Trial top five were Andy MacDonald (101.5), Zinj Guo (98), Jonathan OK (95.5), Melissa Warwick (61.5) and Frank Sleegers (56.5 which is amazing since he was in Germany all summer!).
The Overall top five were Andy (229.5), Zinj (201), JOK (189.5), Melissa (129.5) and me (112). Showing up is powerful!
Next year I will probably move the start time to 5:30 for the group event to see how it effects both the traffic and participation numbers. Let me know how you might feel about some different time trial and hill climb routes. I’ve got a few ideas that I’ll mull over this winter.
Congratulations to Melissa for taking the TT, HC and Overall Women’s top honors!
