Monday saw the opening stage of the 2006 Tour de Toona. The just over 4 km ITT proved to be extremely fast as the winning time posted by Karl Menzies was a ripping 5:09. Personally I came in 135th spot at a lowly 5:44. I was not very happy with my performance, but it is only the opening stage and the time gaps were small. 6 seconds faster would have put me inside the top 100 which I was gunning for. On the highly technical crit like urban circuit that time was easily lost in the span of only a few tight corners.
Tomorrow we have a rolling circuit race to contest.
Team notes: Nick is feeling a bit ill unfortunatly. Bicisport is bringing up the rear in the team classification in 3rd last, but we are confident that a couple of hilly stages will bring us back up. Trevor Connor is a late addition to the team for this event. He has just arrived from doing the Tour de Delta in Vancouver which ended on Sunday.
