RAAM 2010 Day 4: 10 miles after Ulysses, KS to 10 mi past Pratt, KS
Stayed at a pretty decent place in Ulysses, KS. We would ride at 5AM local time. The weather was definitely on our side today. There were heavy thunderstorms through the night, but when it was time to pack up things were drying out nicely.
More good news for the team through the night. The rest of the guys made some great
progress, and took a bit of time out of TT1.
Our day was relatively flat, with lots of straight roads. We probably made no more than 10 turns the entire 5 hours. The wind was very light, and temps were in the high 50's when we started. Certainly not typical summer Kansas weather.
We spent the entire day on TT bikes given the nature of the course. Speeds were quite high.
My GPS had an average of 27mph for the 65 miles that I rode. Much time was spent near 30mph.
We wrapped up the day past Pratt, KS. Much thanks to Ryan, Tobias, and Dave for relieving us 5 - 10 mins early.
Time Station data:
Andrew and Jeremy Average this shift: 26.43mph, 27.04mph
Team Type 1 Average this shift: 26.43mph. 26.3mph
