I haven't TT'd for 40 years and in fact was more of a tourist than a racer and never rode many club TT's.
My fastest time was 25:17 for a 10-mile TT which worked out at about 23 mph which i smugly thought was pretty good until i read somewhere that the Titanic's top speed was 26mph !
Huh, beaten by a lumbering great ship..

Didn’t realise the titanic was that fast 😳
Good benchmark for any TTer 👍
So when is your first/next TT?
Must admit, I missed this year 2023, various commitments and then there were roadworks on our local course and the 10 series got cancelled before I'd psyched myself up to ride them.
But I love TT's, they give me the incentive to ride each year and I've not missed many years since 1967. Now a 500+ life time tally for timetrials! But sadly, the last time I did a PB was in 1969.
If you didn't need carrying back to the car-park ...
Must admit this is one thing I miss about the UK, the TT scene is really active and welcoming. Here I’ve found 4 events for 2024 and that includes the nationals that I’ll enter, actually I’ll do all 4 next year.
Soon the training will start 😐 although as I have a long endurance fondo planned as well I’m not sure I’ll be any good at any of them 😂
This year I've set PB's in both 10's and 25's, albeit not fast PB's. Back to TT'ing next year, possibly starting with the Calder Clarion 5 mile TT on New Year's Day.

New Years day as in next Monday ?
Any chance of PM me your schedule any on Saturday/ week nights.
