Fastest, oldest cyclists?

[Citius]

We seem to have gone seriously off topic but I look forward to hearing about your sub 22 debut.

You may hear about it - but you'll never see proof...

Are you sure, he seems pretty fast.

Gawd now I can't tell if you are being ironic!

 

[Citius]

Are you sure?

I think the available evidence is pretty overwhelming...

I've been on this forum around 7 years. I signed up when i started cycling, left for a couple years when I stopped, and returned when i started again. I'm no troll.

The whole he's a troll thing reminds me of the old days when people were burnt for being witches. Just because people could not understand them, they feared them.

Nope not going to bite, but a genuine lol

I thought you did. Cyclingtimetrials is the main website right? I'll be entering as many as possible that are near to North London. I plan to use the travel to the start line as a warm up. Mainly focusing on 10 milers, I've been doing a lot of wattbike 10 mile efforts and the results are more than encouraging.

Most clubs will let you enter their TT's on a 'come and try' basis'. If you're going to do them regularly or want to enter open TT's yes you'll need to join an affiliated club. Many clubs will have members who only TT and don't get involved in any other club activities.

22nd July 2009 isn't 7 years!

One slight exaggeration and you are jumping on him.

Well the good thing is, if he does enter affiliated time trials results will be available for all to see. But only if you know his real name.... im pretty sure it wont be blazed

Can I chime in with an MTB legend ?
As far as I know,Ned Overend is still defying the years as the current USA Fat Bike champion.
At 60
One of my all time heroes

I find new challenges as I get older, a couple of my 70+ year old mates are very happy with say a 16mph 50 miles when years ago it would have been 20+ 100.

When you do, go in the "time trailing" sub forum and keep us updated, there's a few of us relative newbies posting in there, will be interesting to see your progress. There's lots of things to consider - how much of a warm up, pacing, how much training up to the event, what to eat/drink
Here's my thoughts on my first few time trials and the culmination of my season.

If you put your money where your mouth is, most people will be very encouraging and chip in with loads of advice
Ps I would have thought concentrating on short 10 mile watt bike efforts wasn't "ideal" training, you should think about varying your training to include longer more endurance lower intensity sessions and zone 1 and 2 sessions, aswell as the higher intensity sessions IMO. (But that's another whole different story and others on here are much more clued up than me)
