Members Aileen McGlynn Posted September 11, 2009 Author Members Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 We won Silver in the 19.4km time trial in a time of 27:59, which was faster than we thought we would go. Really pleased to have medalled. The USA won the gold and the Germans took the bronze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aileen McGlynn Posted September 13, 2009 Author Members Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 We managed 5th place in the 48 mile road race today. Pretty pleased considering we have no prior road racing experience. Another rousting day though! :-) Aileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted September 13, 2009 Members Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well done Aileen I know these events were something different from the norm, maybe if you had a JWCC pilot it would have been a wee bit easier maybe not as productive but fun never the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aileen McGlynn Posted September 15, 2009 Author Members Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 It would have been better to have spent more time riding with my pilot on the road prior to this event but Ellen did a fantastic job handling the tandem on the corners and dealing with some erratic bike handling by some of the other riders. Neither of us had any prior road racing experience so although I am disappointed not have medalled I think we did alright for our first attempt.
