We do an informal TT on Tuesdays at 6 pm in Rochester, MA. 8 mile loop, roads are good except a 1/3 mile stretch on the last mile, one tight corner but all right hand turns. traffic is pretty light. All are welcome, free timing
https://www.strava.com/segments/7256952 We used to have a 14 mile TT in Rochester but had to change it up due to some really bad road conditions. There is the Duxbury, MA TT on Thursdays but that one seems on the way out. attendance is way down this year, roads deteriorating and the turns are sketchy as well as the traffic. |

Strava?

In fact I wonder if you asked some of the folks who used to compete in that race if they still plan to ride the course, just with Strava logging the course attempts. |

Is the NEBC time trial still going? Outside of Concord, up toward Chelmsford and back past Carlisle... another relic from the '80s.
Praise Google! Here's what it found me: http://nebc.us/wp-content/uploads/20...2017-flyer.pdf Wednesday nights through 9/6. If this is as friendly and competitive a group as it was when I was there, then we should all go. And if some of you do, come back in here and tell the story, I'd love to hear about it! |

The Strava difference with TT's, besides some people don't use any ride recording apps, is the conditions between 2 peoples' separate attempts will be different, and the geeks will argue that therefore comparisons will be invalid. Then you've got to wonder about who ran the TT honorably i.e., did they start from a dead stop or cheat and fly through the start, etc. . Competing against your own time, you only need a stopwatch. A few years ago some friends and I, none of who had Strava, held a gentlemen's TT. You would ride it any time you liked and posted a report to the others. I was the secretary and recorded the times. One member painted the start/stop lines and you were on your honor to roll through the start below X mph. That's it.

You know why it's called the Pete Murphy TT, right?
