Hello everyone,
Today a call to all enthusiastic cyclists among us.
Two years ago we got together in the VFL and started a time trial (training) near Nuremberg. We were initially very surprised by the great popularity.
We met on Thursday evening around half past six and identified the time trial champion in the club. To our surprise, many non-members wanted to ride too. About 25 drivers got together quite spontaneously. Then we ended the evening with a barbecue together, where everyone could bring their "heroic deeds" to the man or woman 😉
Last year there were already over 50 participants and not only the organization became a bit more professional, but also the drivers. You can see the results from last year at: http://www.vfl-triteam.de/ (see results for 2008). Our fastest driver actually managed to drive an average of over 44km on the 21km long route. Unfortunately he started right behind and exactly one minute after me, which meant that poor "krelli" was caught up after only 7km 🙁
Well, this year there is revenge !!
Due to the great popularity in the last two years and the already numerous inquiries, it will be the THIRD this year unofficial Give VFL time trial !!
If you feel addressed and would like to ride, just let me know.
No matter which performance class you belong or whether you are doing this for the first time, everyone is welcome!
The mode looks like this:
- The route is relatively flat and 21km long and has a roundabout in the middle. This is also the only place where the right of way may have to be granted.
- The start is one minute away from the driver in front, if the number of participants is larger than expected, we will reduce this distance to 30 seconds.
- The starter is helped with starting, which is why it will be possible for everyone to start in the "clicked" position.
- The “probably” strongest goes at the end (there can only be one who goes first and last, so I rely on your realistic assessment 🙂 we will also use the results of the previous year as a basis. So Thomas Herrmann (last year's winner) will not be back start right behind me !!
- Slipstream driving is prohibited, the well-known 10m rule applies! (Please also note if someone should be overtaken, which will not be the case for me this time, as the Thomas no longer starts behind me 😉
- Safety has absolute priority, nothing should happen to anyone for a few seconds. (this is especially true at the turning point!)
We are very confident that we will organize another barbecue afterwards, in which the results will also be published. If you want to take part, please make a note in the registration. Then we can plan better with food and drinks. Last year it was very well received and we would be happy to end the evening with you in a cozy atmosphere.
It should be noted that this is a non-official "time trial training", which means that any liability of organizing persons is excluded.
The road is public, hardly used at the time, but of course we still drive in strict compliance with the StVO.
We look forward to your encouragement and think that it will be another great event. This is also a very good opportunity to ride in competition style, so grab your windshields, aero helmets, nylon stockings or anything else that legally makes you faster and show what you have! 🙂
As always, you don't have to pay an entry fee, except for the steaks that you eat in the end. We would take a 5 € flat rate from each, but you can eat and drink and end the evening with a beer.
Finally, an important appeal!
Of course, we also need helpers again, if you cannot / do not want to start due to other competition dates or appear to accompany a starter or just want to see it, you are of course still welcome and get an extra beer!
starts around 7 p.m.
If you are interested, just let me know, then I will take you on without obligation and you will always receive the latest developments. If you cannot start later in June, no problem, we will not “arrest” anyone 😉
So dare!
if you are interested and have any questions, just contact me: mkrell@gmx.de
Many greetings

Great idea, would like to stop by and ride, but it is on June 7th. my 70.3er… it would be the inappropriate tapering preparation 😉

Hi Dennis,
on the contrary, as the last sparkling unit, that's exactly right. Then you fly over the piste 3 days later 😉 No, seriously, it's a great training stimulus, even so shortly before the main competition, but I would only recommend it to experienced rabbits who know their bodies inside out. In your case, no experiments !! 🙂
greetings
Michael
No, no experiments 🙂 Season planning is now ready. I decided against Hipoltstein and Sulzbach and only do the (duathlon) sprint in Planegg-Krailing and the (triathlon) sprint in Munich as preparation for Switzerland. Maybe the week in between a 10km run, but I'll decide that spontaneously 🙂
greetings
Dennis
