First ever TT

[Jerry Atrik]

Well iv'e only gone and done it . My first ever TT on a very hilly and long course this Good Friday , what's good about it haha ? .The doubts are really beginning to kick in now , but no backing out now . I'm doomed and no mistake !

I'm just back in after coming last in the club hilly TT this evening. I was going as fast as I could and in lots of pain but was miles behind everyone else, and I mean MILES! But it was a good event, very well marshalled and a few photographers out on the course to record how much gob, snot and sweat was dribbling down my face and onto my neck

Just go along and enjoy it

Did you get a red jersey, Marmy!

Well done for doing it, though.

Cold weather is keeping me off my bike so far. Soon, though...

 

[Dayvo]

And well done, J-A. You won't look back. Good luck.

Ive learnt to deal with the humiliation . Joined my local club this year and have joined in the chaingang for the last 3 weeks only to be dropped within minutes , its a different league altogether , but I shall continue . Onwards and upwards !

Did my first ten just over a week ago, so know how you're feeling.

Broke the strap on my helmet before the warm up, and then the chain came off during the warm up, so I approached the start line with oil all over my face and hands and a broken pointy helmet.

Felt so nervous that I forgot to peddle when the starter released me and nearly fell off!

After about 3 miles into a head-wind, I felt like giving up and throwing the bike over the nearest hedge, so hard was I finding it. But you carry on, and, when you eventually trundle across the line, lungs burning, chest pounding and having aged by at least two years, you feel.......fantastic!!

Good luck. It really is worth the misery.

I wish I had started with a 10 or even a 5 first Josh but oh no I plum for the Hilly 23 , but it is local and I know where the hospital is .

 

[Dismount]

I need to try one of these making them sound like lots of fun.

 

[Jerry Atrik]

Im sure it will be , its been on my bucket list for a while now as was joining a club and the chaingang . Who knows maybe a cat 4 race next year . Do they do veteran cat 4s ?

I've got my first ever TT this evening. A club 10 miler, on a flattish course. What the hell is a 53 year old doing entering sprinty-type bike races for the first time in his life? Can I do it in under 30 minutes? Only one of those questions will get answered this evening.

 

[HLaB]

Good luck folks!

Its kind of a first for me it'll be my first TT on the carbon bike with tri bars, used the bike before for TT's without tri bars and used tri bars a couple of time on other frames, though
