[ For the past several years, I've been timing myself on an 8.1 mile section of Rt 55 between Haymarket and the Plains. I time myself from the stop light at the intersection of Rt 15 & Rt 55 to the blue rectangular shaped "Welcome To The Plains" sign at the top of the hill as you come into The Plains. Terrain profile is below. ]
This morning I woke up and decided to test myself on the new TT setup. The guys at the shop put some aero bars and a TT seat with a Thompson set forward seat post on my old Orbea frameset and I've been riding in TT config and tweaking my position for the past couple of weeks. It was fairly windy today but I was still able to get my personal best time on this route. So, I feel pretty good about that today. I'm anxious to get out on a day that isn't windy and see what I can do.

sweet, I bet you could really burn a flat TT. Millersburg????
that'd be a good one. Yes, at 190lbs + flat does give me an advantage. Ideally, I could find a TT with a slight descent for the entire duration. I can coast faster than anyone! It'd be sort of like a soap box derby race and I'd win for sure...
Nice...soap box tt...you funny...
