Penn State University Race Weekend

This Friday the four of us (Christina, Kim, Scott and myself) will be traveling to State College, PA for a race weekend hosted by Penn State University. On Saturday is the Black Moshannon Road Race. 21.4 miles loop with 3 climbs totaling 1874 feet of climbing per lap. For this one I will try my best to stay with the peloton, and if it explodes like at Phoenixville I will try to stay with a small group until the sprint at the end. Men's D will only do 1 loop.

On Sunday is the Science Park Time Trial. Originally scheduled to be a Team Time Trial, it has been changed to Individual Time Trial so this will be my chance to make up for missing the Rutgers Time Trial. I can't wait. It's a 4.5 mile, out and back rolling course. I'm going to shoot for about 11 minutes, which I believe would almost guarantee a top 9 spots to bring points to the team.

Later in the morning on Sunday is the Downtown State College Criterium. A flat, 1K long, 6 turn course. Flat is always good, and I plan to stay in with the peloton for this race. For Men's D, the race will be 30 minutes.

I will post results and my opinions afterwards!
