I got round to joining the local CC this year. I had only ridden one 10 mile TT there about 3 years ago as a guest with 31.07.
Anyway start time was 7.00 but only got there at about 6.45(in the car) so no time for a warm up. Introduced myself as a new member etc. Then was asked if I minded if I start number 5 with 30 second intervals. I said Ok but it was a bit of a rush to get a number on and to the start a mile away.
Anyway set off at bit too keen as half a mile in looked at the speedo reading 27mph!
Calmed down a bit then and ended up catching 3 of the 4 riders in front of me. As it is run on a 2 lap circuit I had others to chase on the second lap but was overtaken by about 4 guys on there first lap(all on full on TT bikes). I was on a road bike, no tri bars. Was hoping for sub 30, thought I had actually done about 29 but just checked the club site and posted a 28.04.
One very pleased almost 40 year old!
Can't wait to next week!
