The date has been set.

I've been neglecting this blog but I have not been neglecting my hour record attempt. Last week I filled out the paper work for a permit to use the velodrome. There may be some issues with insurance that I need to clear up but it shouldn't be a problem.

I also talked to Alan (USAC official) about officiating the attempt. He's going to look into whether it's a USAC record or just a track record and figure out what sort of timing equipment we'll need.

So by now you are probably wondering when the attempt is taking place. Sunday September 23rd. Mark your calendars.

I have a little over three weeks left to train. The track racing season is over so the hour record is my only focus now. I have almost all of the equipment I need (aero bars, skinsuit, disk wheel/tri-spoke). I'm waiting on a time trial helmet that I ordered through Affinity Bikes and I have yet to get aero booties.

Hopefully I don't completely embarrass myself.
