The Buffalo Triathlon Club is alive and well. This past Thursday night, twenty riders embarked on a 16- mile time trial from Tonawanda Creek in North Amherst. Riders were released and sprinted to the finish.
The time trial is a part of the triathlon training for these triathletes - male and female between the ages of 25 and 65. The training bikes being used by the athletes vary. A few ride hybrid style bikes; some are on traditional road bikes; and others are riding high-end carbon fiber triathlon racing bikes with built in aero bars in a forward leaning position.
Wheel sets vary from deep dish rims to fully covered wheels. The helmets vary, too. Some Star Trek looking and some that you’d see on most riders. All wear moisture wicking bike shirts, some sleeveless and some not. And the shorts are form fitting - all the purpose of reducing wind resistance and improving comfort.
It’s a conglomeration of athletes who all love the sport, training, and camaraderie. Small Law hosted dinner, Small Talk on New York Bike Law, and giveaways to a few lucky winners. Small Law can be reached at www.BuffaloBicycleAtty.com or via instagram at @smallawbba.
