Congrats to all those who rode in that downpour yesterday! I cycled home in it (20 KM) thinking of my miserable state and how nobody could possibly turn up for the OTT, let alone ride it! I saw none of the usual crowd on the parkway. It reminded me of our 18/23 days of rain we had on our End to End trip (Britain) in 2000. Richard is right, tho' in saying "it just might rain" during the Nationals, so keep up the training in all kinds of weather & you'll truly be prepared for anything!

Seven riders and an equal number of volunteers came out despite the rain. Richard Hinz justified his decision with "I'm going to do the Nationals again this year, and it might rain". "I forgot to turn off my computer when I got to work this morning, and I'm sure that I can bring up my average speed for the day if I do the Time Trial", said Celia. Volunteer Bram Moerman said "The sun is coming up... In Japan, or somewhere over there". Greg Brown, the only one of us out with good quality rain gear, had absolutely no qualms about riding. At this point, we were committed, and an exciting event it was! The young Brook Bococh, a cadet, tied Richard Hinz for first place at 23:19. "You should have sprinted the finishing stretch, Richard. You've got underwear older than this kid!", said Jim in his usual colourful manner. An even younger Dale Beaton (Minime class, turns 13-14 this year) slid in at 28:59. Anyway, Jim gave me the results so that they could be quickly posted for you at http://www3.sympatico.ca/celia.mcinnis/tt/2002/index.html .
