Thirteen people came out for the Tour De Yinz Prologue. New to this years tour, the Prologue was a 5.5 mile Time Trial from Hot Metal Street to the end of the Southside trail and back. Saturday provided the racers with a beautiful day in the mid 70’s with very little wind.Results:1. Dave Gingrich 13.39 F2. John Lomax (aka Toodles) 13.52 F3. Jimmy – 51 14.10 F4. Rob Lochner 14.23 G5. Blake Irvin 14.44 F6. Rob Wolfe 14.52 F7. Matt Kurpiewski 15.08 G8. Jim Isler 15.13 G9. Loren Sloan 15.17 G10. Mike Bennett 15.50 F11. Ben Grocholsky 16.14 G12. Caleb Morgan 16.31 G13. Chris Young 17.10Each rider that participated in the prologue TT has earned a valuable time bonus. At the begining of the race next weekend (August 25) you will be required to ride around Friendship Park 1 time before exiting the park and heading for your first checkpoint. The fastest rider from the TT (Dave, and Loren for the being the fastest lady) will start their lap first, the next rider will start their lap 15 seconds later. Each rider from the prologue will continue to start their laps in 15 second intervals. The rest of the peleton begins their lap 15 seconds after the last rider from the TT. This automatically puts the peleton 3 mins and 30 seconds behind Dave!I think this adds a nice competitive edge to the race. I also think that the course is long enough that 3 minutes can disapear pretty quickly. Thanks to everyone who came out for the Prologue. Hope to see you all next week.PGH Alleycats
