TTT Tuesdays on Fiesta. Unlike some racers on this forum who burn sub 8 minute laps on Fiesta, we had trouble getting under 11 minutes. We finally broke 11 on lap six when we finally got a clear lap where we did not have to slow down. We would like to burn 10:20 laps that would give us a 1:02 40k which would be great for training TTTs.

It was a Fredappalousa on Fiesta plus 6 mph speed differential due to wind between the front and back stretch. We kept encountering strings of cars backed up by cyclists cruising 12 mph 3 abreast across the road making it impossible for cars to pass. We can pass cars but it is tricky and not at 25 mph.

If one wants to burn a fast lap at Fiesta, it has to be at the crack of dawn before the bike traffic and wind show up.
