big congrats to Dr Cheese for 213.2!!!!!!
I've been coming to the Mile since Oct 2003 watching JC battle wind and mechanical gremlins.
GREAT to see JC finally get his T shirt
My heap ran 215.3 on Fri, then 212.0, 213.3, 212.7, and finally 211.9 on Sun am.
Looking at the logs, the 211.9 was a rider perfect pass, 6500rpm+/- outa the hole, minor spinning, every gear spot on, AF=12.5-ish, crossed the line at 10,500+/-.
I expected to see a 218 ticket.
211.9???? WTF??
figured bearings or valve seats giving it up and parked it.
Just now i looked at Accuweather history and saw for 9am:
- 6mph straight headwind
- baro = 29.73
- humidity = 100%
- temp 72F
hmmm... maybe just bad air
