Placebo?
Thinking back, I did all my fastest rides, without a number on my back ...
In those days it was a number tied to the frame!
I never had you down as being ancient.
In that case they work.
Afraid so, first tt in 1967, now retired, but not yet hung the wheels up. Next tt in March!

Two years before me.
The joys of getting changed in a layby and trying to find a place where your gear wouldn't be soaked when you got back.
Yes and riding out to the events.
The old cycling cape had a use for storing your gear and it was always there when you got back.
If you really want to be depressed (assumingsomeone hasn't already posted the link) go to http://www.vtta.org.uk/information/...&Gender=1&Machine=1&filter_button=Get+Records,
Bearing in mind that the oldest rider under the hour for a 25m TT is 81 (59m. 13s) and that a 90 year old still gets under 30min for 10, perhaps you shouldn't

Some of those riders are very impressive.
I rode a 30 once in about 1967/1968 and one of the riders (I think) listed above was part of the team that broke team competition record. At the time comp record for a 25 was still only a "52", yet the chap I am referring is listed as having done a "51" at the age of 65, some 40 years later!
Truly impressive, although equipment advances has played a part.
