Gateway Time Trial #6

Another great race at Gateway Park! This week's event was prefaced by some rain and the threat of some serious thunderstorms. Fortunately the rain did not affect the course negatively, in fact, the small amount of rain made it even better for most riders. Two riders suffered injuries that took them out of the contest, but they are A-OK.

This week, I introduced a new contest by asking all riders to predict their time on the course. Most riders overestimated their time.

Here are the result(in no particular order) with time predictions in parenthesis!
