Results of the weekly events at Pt au Roche, NY
The 2012 season

The season is over -- see you next spring.

Bicycling Magazines Available I am still looking for a good home for a long run of the magazine Bicycling, perhaps 3 or 4 decades of issues. If you are interested click here to email me. DCW

After 16 successful events (plus one rainout and one holiday) running from May 15 to September 12, the 2012 Pt au Roche bicycle time trial season is finished. We had 70 different participants turning in 245 finishes. The busiest week saw 23 riders participating. For a few weeks we moved from Wednesday evenings to Tuesdays, not to conflict with a time trial in Lake Placid.
We congratulated nine different winners in the ten-mile event this season. Bob Tysen posted four wins and a second place in his five rides and Kevin Duniho followed with three wins and a second in four rides. Mary Duprey and Jim Walker each posted 2 wins, and one-time winners were Mike Wynn, Jack Piller, Scott Woodward, Kyle Gagnier and Ed Armstrong.. Woodward also posted four second-place and three third-place finishes.
Mike Wynn participated just once and recorded the season's fastest ride with a 21:39, just 8 seconds off of Kevin Duniho's 1995 record 21:31, and the only ride of the season under the magic 22 minute barrier.

Four riders: Jim Walker, Bob Tysen, Kevin Duniho and Jack Piller, posted times in the 22 minute range.
Mary Duprey again dominated the women's competition, emerging undefeated in seven rides of the ten mile course. (Mary hasn't been topped after her first few rides in 1986.) Mary was the only rider to challenge the 25 mile course -- she rode twice, finishing in 63:15 and 63:24.
The Lanterne Rouge (for last place) again went to perennial starter/timer Barb West who refuses to see herself as a septuagenerian and again rode the 10 mile course.
On the 5-mile course, Devin Gosselin rode 8 times. Shannan Keysor turned in five fast results including a blazing 13:31 before moving up for one ride on the 10-mile course where she posted a 28:50.
The Ralph Senecal Award for most dependable rider again went to Ed Armstrong who rode all 16 weeks. Eric Kreckel followed with 13 rides while Lynne Murray had 11. Scott Woodward and Stacey Brooks each rode 10 times.

On the final night of the season, six riders battled a strong south wind as they returned south from the turn-around. Scott Woodward turned in the fastest time with newcomer Mark Theeman, a racer from Boston, placing second. We had no women and no five mile riders. This finishes the 2012 season. Have a great fall and winter -- see you in the spring.

No breeze at the fire station but the riders assure us that there was wind out on the course. In spite of that, four of the ten riders recorded peresonal best times (PR).
We plan to ride again next week and we'll decide at that time whether to continue any longer.

It was not a fast night, but we had a good turnout and some nice times.
Congratulations to two TT regulars who made the podium in the Run for Jon organized by Scott Woodward and the Evans family. Jason Amoriell and Ed Armstrong both took home the clever little wooden apples as medalists in their age groups.
And Mary Duprey rested up after her Ironman triathlon with a sprint triathlon on Saturday and the run up Mt. Mansfield on Sunday. Ironperson indeed!

A newcomer, Mike Wynn, came very close to Kevin Duniho's old course record of 21:31. Perhaps Mike will come back soon and take another crack at it. (PR=personal record)
Mary Duprey missed three TT's in a row because she did the Mont Tremblant Ironman Triathlon up in Canada on August 18. She reports having a good event with a swimming time near several of her competitors and her usual excellent bike leg, second fastest among more than sixty competitors in her age group. Mary says that she struggled on the run but came away without injury. Congratulations Mary.

Another Very Good Night!! Conditions were just as good as last week, but with no storms on the horizon. Accordingly we had 20 riders in the ten mile event and a season-high four riders completing the five mile course.

TT Riders Compete in Other Events During this season, our Time Trial friends have participated in a number of other endurance sport events, some at a high level. A few weeks ago, Mary Duprey won her age group at the Tupper Lake TinMan triathlon. [ See Full Results ]
Here are a few more events with lists of TT participants found by a quick visual search of the results. We may have missed a few -- if you know any more, please let us know.
In the spring, the Plattsburgh Half Marathon attracted at least seven of our folks: Brian White, Ed Armstrong, Heather Jabaut, Donnie Armstrong, Gerry Duprey (frequent TT timer), Jonathan Parks and Bob Davies (TT regular from years ago). [ See Full Results ]
In June, four of our riders finished the Whiteface Mt. Bike Hillclimb up the Memorial Highway: Jason Amoriell, Jerry Macner, Rob Spencer and Susanna Piller. [ See Full Results ]
Several of our friends did well at the New York State Time Trial Championships in Cambridge, NY. Jeff Krywanczyk, Jim Walker and Sabine Amoriell all won their competition classes while Shannan Keysor, Ed Armstrong, Erik Bollt, Sabine Amoriell, Susanna Piller and Lynne Murray also brought home medals. Two Scotts, Scott Bollt and Scott Woodward, also competed, but Woodward's string of four consecutive State Championships was finally broken. [ See Full Results ]
The Rand Hill Bike Hillclimb organized annually by the YMCA was won by Jason Amoriell followed by Jerry Macner in second. Other riders were Jay Ruff (fifth), Alicia Chase (7th), Sabine Amoriell (11), Donnie Armstrong (12) and Randy Kelley who rode with his young daughter. [ See Full Results ]
Finally, the Annual Y-Tri saw ten of our riders finishing. Jon Parks was the overall winner, followed by Randy Kelley in second place. Class winners included Chris Demers, Randy Kelley and Alicia Chase, while Jason Amoriell, Rob Spencer, Chris Demers, Jay Ruff, Brian White, Steve Waite, Alicia Chase and Sandy Rasco all turned in good individual finishes. Lynne Murray raced with the top women's relay team and her daughter, Shannan Keysor raced with the top mixed team which finished just nine seconds ahead of the ladies. [ See Full Results ]

Congratulations to all of these stalwart endurance athletes.

A Very Good Night!! Though we didn't have any near-record performances. With storms visible in the southern sky, we had low barometric pressure, reducing the density of the air. And it was warm, further reducing the air density. And finally, it was humid. Many people don't realize it but moist air is lighter than dry air because water molecules are lighter than the average air molecule (air is mostly N₂ ) so again, the density is reduced. And the north-west breeze was barely perceptible -- all that made for an excellent night.

We wish the best of luck to several of our TT participants who will ride in the New York State Time Trial Championships this weekend. And the same for riders in the Tour de Rand Hill, and finally for participants in the Lake Placid Ironman race on Sunday. Good luck to all!

A Wonderful Night!! A little warm, yes, but not for the riders, and no breeze to speak of. No surprise then with such good conditions and no event last week that we had a new high of 23 participants and some fast times. We'll try to identify PR and Season Best rides in a few days.
No, Stephanie isn't related to Don & Barb, and we think that Donnie isn't related to Ed. But we had two other couples: Jack & Susanna, Jason & Sabine, while Eric & Paige are father and daughter.

WINDY! Yes it was -- every rider agreed that it was a very difficult evening. A strong WNW wind and threats of rain cut down the field from 20 last week to just 9 today. Mary held the watch as she was tapering for the TinMan triathlon this coming weekend. And several riders are planning to participate in the New York State TT Championships in just a few weeks.

In the intervening years Kevin has been a downhill Mt Bike racer, a health practicioner, a political candidate, and a graduate student, but last January he committed to lose weight and get in shape. Clearly he succeeded. Congratulations and welcome back.

The list below shows, for each rider, the number of weeks riding and best time posted.
You may download a spreadsheet showing complete results from the entire season.
(The sheet is wide and may not be visible all at once on your computer screen. Part of the reason is that all times are shown with an extra "0:" (0:25:37 rather than 25:37). Excel does not seem to handle elapsed times gracefully and this is the best way I have found. If anyone has a better way, please let me know.)

After 16 successful events (plus one rainout and one holiday) running from May 15 to September 12, the 2012 Pt au Roche bicycle time trial season is finished. We had 70 different participants turning in 245 finishes. The busiest week saw 23 riders participating. For a few weeks we moved from Wednesday evenings to Tuesdays, not to conflict with a time trial in Lake Placid. We congratulated nine different winners in the ten-mile event this season. Bob Tysen posted four wins and a second place in his five rides and Kevin Duniho followed with three wins and a second in four rides. Mary Duprey and Jim Walker each posted 2 wins, and one-time winners were Mike Wynn, Jack Piller, Scott Woodward, Kyle Gagnier and Ed Armstrong.. Woodward also posted four second-place and three third-place finishes. Mike Wynn participated just once and recorded the season's fastest ride with a 21:39, just 8 seconds off of Kevin Duniho's 1995 record 21:31, and the only ride of the season under the magic 22 minute barrier.	Four riders: Jim Walker, Bob Tysen, Kevin Duniho and Jack Piller, posted times in the 22 minute range. Mary Duprey again dominated the women's competition, emerging undefeated in seven rides of the ten mile course. (Mary hasn't been topped after her first few rides in 1986.) Mary was the only rider to challenge the 25 mile course -- she rode twice, finishing in 63:15 and 63:24. The Lanterne Rouge (for last place) again went to perennial starter/timer Barb West who refuses to see herself as a septuagenerian and again rode the 10 mile course. On the 5-mile course, Devin Gosselin rode 8 times. Shannan Keysor turned in five fast results including a blazing 13:31 before moving up for one ride on the 10-mile course where she posted a 28:50. The Ralph Senecal Award for most dependable rider again went to Ed Armstrong who rode all 16 weeks. Eric Kreckel followed with 13 rides while Lynne Murray had 11. Scott Woodward and Stacey Brooks each rode 10 times.

John Callaghan 33:46	Timers: Barb & Hollie Reporter: Don West On the final night of the season, six riders battled a strong south wind as they returned south from the turn-around. Scott Woodward turned in the fastest time with newcomer Mark Theeman, a racer from Boston, placing second. We had no women and no five mile riders. This finishes the 2012 season. Have a great fall and winter -- see you in the spring.

In spite of that, four of the ten riders recorded peresonal best times (PR). We plan to ride again next week and we'll decide at that time whether to continue any longer.

Congratulations to two TT regulars who made the podium in the Run for Jon organized by Scott Woodward and the Evans family. Jason Amoriell and Ed Armstrong both took home the clever little wooden apples as medalists in their age groups. And Mary Duprey rested up after her Ironman triathlon with a sprint triathlon on Saturday and the run up Mt. Mansfield on Sunday. Ironperson indeed!

Perhaps Mike will come back soon and take another crack at it. (PR=personal record) Mary Duprey missed three TT's in a row because she did the Mont Tremblant Ironman Triathlon up in Canada on August 18. She reports having a good event with a swimming time near several of her competitors and her usual excellent bike leg, second fastest among more than sixty competitors in her age group. Mary says that she struggled on the run but came away without injury. Congratulations Mary.

Accordingly we had 20 riders in the ten mile event and a season-high four riders completing the five mile course.

Don West 34:33	5 Mile Event 1. Shannan Keysor 13:42 2. Judy Taylor 20:09 Timers: Gerry & Barb Reporter: Mary Duprey A Very Good Night!! Though we didn't have any near-record performances. With storms visible in the southern sky, we had low barometric pressure, reducing the density of the air. And it was warm, further reducing the air density. And finally, it was humid. Many people don't realize it but moist air is lighter than dry air because water molecules are lighter than the average air molecule (air is mostly N₂ ) so again, the density is reduced. And the north-west breeze was barely perceptible -- all that made for an excellent night.

Yes, Scott is Erik's son, and harder to guess, Shannon is Lynne's daughter. We wish the best of luck to several of our TT participants who will ride in the New York State Time Trial Championships this weekend. And the same for riders in the Tour de Rand Hill, and finally for participants in the Lake Placid Ironman race on Sunday. Good luck to all!

A little warm, yes, but not for the riders, and no breeze to speak of. No surprise then with such good conditions and no event last week that we had a new high of 23 participants and some fast times. We'll try to identify PR and Season Best rides in a few days. No, Stephanie isn't related to Don & Barb, and we think that Donnie isn't related to Ed. But we had two other couples: Jack & Susanna, Jason & Sabine, while Eric & Paige are father and daughter.

A strong WNW wind and threats of rain cut down the field from 20 last week to just 9 today. Mary held the watch as she was tapering for the TinMan triathlon this coming weekend. And several riders are planning to participate in the New York State TT Championships in just a few weeks. No TT on July 4

In the intervening years Kevin has been a downhill Mt Bike racer, a health practicioner, a political candidate, and a graduate student, but last January he committed to lose weight and get in shape. Clearly he succeeded. Congratulations and welcome back.
