Well here we are at August 27th, 2009!! The day many of our riders have been waiting for. Did I say riders??...I should have said RACERS!! Because that's what they are when they take off from the starting line racing against the clock at the Canal Crown Time Trial Series held at the Augusta Canal Singletrack. And tonight is the Grand Finale...the Great Poobah of Time Trials!!! For tonight someone will be crowned the WINNER!!!!
You can feel the excitement level skyrocket when they head into the woods to tackle the trail. Drew Jordan and Dustin Gaddis have spawned quite a little cycling event in this town that I hope sticks around for quite awhile. Drew's wife Kim, along with a handfull of volunteers, keep things organized so the racers can focus on their ride. Once you get registered, a dose of good bug spray, and your number plate for the front of your bike, all you have to do is wait till it's your turn at the starting line and off you go! As fast as you can go!!
If you haven't made it out to the Canal Singletrack for one of the other three races they've held so far, you owe it to yourself to show up tonight to be a part of the excitement, whether you come to race or spectate.
When should I get there you ask??? Here's a quote from the man himself... "Registration will start at 6:30pm and the first racer will go off at 7pm sharp! I repeat, the first racer will go off at 7pm, razor sharp." Now you know what, where, when, and why...the how you get there is up to you but just get there!!!
Be safe!
