Masters Road Nats start with 32 time trial titles
Email
Print The 2011 USA Cycling Masters Road National Championships started with the time trial on a brisk, windy but sunny Wednesday morning at Summit High School in Bend, Ore. In all, 32 national titles were awarded in the race against the clock.
Nearly 300 riders contested the individual time trial, which started at Summit High School and featured climbs of varying distances before turning around and looping around Tetherow Golf Club and returning to the finish line.
Richard Feldman finished second in the men's 40-44 time trial at the 2011 USA Cycling Masters Road National Championships. The best description of the course came from the winner of the women’s 40-44 time trial, Giana Roberge (Santa Rosa, Calif./Peanut Butter & Co. TWENTY 12). “This is a very challenging time trial course,” Roberge said. “You have to think and pick good lines. You have to figure out when to conserve energy. I spent a lot of time studying and riding this course, when I should stay in or come out of the bars. It just tests you as an athlete. Other courses are flatter. You can ride a lot of them just with rhythm. On the descents you can get complacent. Kristin Armstrong gave me some tips. She told me that you still have to put power out.”
Roberge, who had a stellar career as a professional rider, sought counsel from several distinguished time trialists. Roberge got advice from 2008 Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong, Kristin McGrath and Alison Tetrick-Starnes before riding the course. Her panel of experts provided sage advice as the director sportif for Peanut Butter & Co. TWENTY 12 earned the Stars-and-Stripes jersey in her age group.

Link Lindquist (Foothill Ranch, Calif./Team VeloSport Club), who placed third in the men’s 80+ time trial, was very pleased with his effort. “Out of three, I finished third,” Lindquist explained. “I'm the oldest guy in the group. I did what I wanted to do, which is do the course in 40 minutes, which would be my best time on a course like that. I did 40:23, so I'm happy. Getting better as I get older. That's the challenge for me, always. It's not always how I place, but it's against me. So, I don't have to worry about people being younger. Do I get better as I get older? That's my game plan.”
Jessica Cutler (Seattle, Wash./Seattle Super Squadra-Cucina Fresca Cycling Team) earned the gold medal in the women’s 30-34 time trial with an impressive mark of 38:32.
