I think John’s flying time trial is the “mass start test” described at: http://www.fixedgearfever.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=862

It’s not a medal event but more of a pass/fail kind of thing to select riders for the World Championships. It’s 33.598 (1st 500m) / 3:40.471(total for 3k) for 17-18.

John, let me know if you need some gu.  I’ve done photography marathons.  I think by Evanston you may start seeing things...crazy things.

Lots of rain, fun and I had not 1, not 2 but 3 flats in the 50+ race.  Still dragged my butt in at 12th place.
