[NMCycling] Mari Holden trivia

Tue Jul 19 18:18:16 MDT 2016

So, before Moriarity became the "course"   Tom Doughty set the national record at nationals in 79 in Milwaukee at 52:24.  That was also the year that Steve Wood won road nationals as an 18 year old and a fresh graduate from Highland Highschool. 
Not sure that Frey's record will be broken at least not here.    The weather patterns have changed!  When Frey set the record it was the perfect day!

Subject: Re: [NMCycling] Mari Holden trivia    I remember John Frey's first TT record because I spent so much time looking at the stenciled 51:57 on the back of his seat tube -- and recall the 600-grit sandpaper on all of the tube leading edges placed there for the hype of speed.

John Frey once held the national record at around 52:00 early in his career with RGRT.  I remember when it was still above the 50:00 mark around 1987 or so, then came the "fast years" from 1988 to recent.  I think Kent was the first one to go sub-50 with his Ten-Speed Drive Guercotti, and within a year he got that down to 48:44 or so, when Frey did his thing in 1990 (47:35?).  On that same day, Kent also went 47:40-something.  I only recall one other person going sub-48 on the Moriarty course, and that was Colby Pearce with his high-dollar Lotus and Superman position.  In recent years, it seems that the 50:00 minute barrier has become harder to break.     All that being said, I think the Brits were the first ones to make the 25-mile time trial a famous distance that was focused on for speed records.  Our times compare closely with theirs, but it wasn't until Boardman came along that the 47-minute barrier was broken.  Then there was a string of them as well.    Anyway, back to your original question, Mari Holden's time is pretty killer.  Many top-level (Pro/Cat-1) men can't time trial that fast on an equitable course with the same conditions.  That time will stand for a while.             On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 2:37 PM, Chad Patterson via Bike-racers <bike-racers at mailman.swcp.com> wrote: Can anyone tell me the last time a 51:36 would've been the outright winner of Record Challenge?  I'm just looking for something that will illustrate to the average sports fan how ridiculously fast that is.
