I'm not a good hill climber. I'm going to put all my energy in Saturday's criterium. The Highland Time Trial has riders begin on a start ramp in Greenspot Road and ride for 8 kilometers on an uphill course, crossing a narrow bridge. There is a 30-second start time between riders. Saturn's Kimberly Brukner said she is most concerned with today's time trial, and Friday's brutal Oak Glen Road Race.
Some people are better at it than others.
People that are good technical riders can take the turns and twists good. John Wordin, the sometimes controversial team manager of Mercury-Viatel, said the time trial is huge for many reasons. Wordin said riders could reach speeds of up to 40 mph when they head down Greenspot Road.
