It’s easy to cheat on almost everything in Freezing Saddles. Why does this topic keep coming up?? What Rod said. Respect the people who are volunteering and putting energy in the game and DONT CHEAT. Is the honor system not good enough?

Okay, so here’s the deal: I’m going to have to throw myself on the mercy of the court and offer bribes/accept penalties for this one.

Today, I did the time trial. I’ve been planning this for WEEKS. Waiting for a warm day (lower air resistance). Scouting CaBi stations along the route. Trying to figure out how far I could go and overplanning everything.

Turns out I was faster than I thought, saw I had three minutes left, and went for a half mile kicker. Went over my time limit by twelve seconds.

12 measly seconds. I think it took me longer than that to take the bike out of the dock and put it back.

So here’s the question: do I have to redo the time trial, or can I just take a half (quarter?) mile penalty and look dumb instead?

Do it over. Two laps around Hains Point will take it at this point.

So I got a little antsy and, rather than completing my final lap of John McCormac Road, I finished my Longest Half Hour five minutes early…but still complied with the UCI (UCDC?) regs regarding record attempts. Seven miles in 24:40 from dock to dock, averaging 17.1 MPH thanks to Brünø’s Badass Basket/Bar Brace.

Not the longest, but maybe closest to the limit…

Virginia Square Metro / N Monroe St & 9th St N
29 m 35 s
Distance 3.94 miles
