FLCC> Coddington Time Trial

[Stan Mcfall]

jack, i hear ya.....the national weather bulletin came over the radio and 
said it was going to hit freeville at 4:45 so i thought leave work at 4:00 
and beat it....well riding out to vet school to hit 366 i saw lightning in 
that area and though this is not good....so into my TT postion and started 
to hammer. going down into varna i saw a cyclist up ahead,got to about 30ft 
from him and saw it was Glenn, he tuned onto mt unpleasent and i tuned onto 
freeze rd...got up the hill on freeze and the rain came down and it was 
hard...no hail though...so i take it Glenn got wet too.

so the weather guy said that it was to hit freeville at 4:45......i think 
it hit there at 3:45...maybe they for got to reset there clocks.
