USCF STATE TIME TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIP USCF State Time Trial Championship -- Thursday, August 30th -- 40k In bicycle road racing, the 40K individual Time Trial is considered the truest test of a cyclists metal. Thursday night's state championships at Moose Creek proved no exception. With no drafting allowed, seven racers faced off against the clock and into a solid headwind. For the first half of the race the riders pressed their hearts and minds to the redline, hoping that the headwind would become a tailwind on the return trip, from one mile south of The Knotty Shop back to Moose Creek. But it was not to be, as the wind died. Though the wind destroyed all hopes for personal bests or course records, none of the riders were deterred from gamely pushing themselves to their limits and posting times worthy of their efforts in what the French call "the Race of Truth."
