We live near Chester. So close to lots of major cities in the Midlands and Northwest
I don’t know how far we’re willing to travel. I just wondered how you even start looking for this level of expertise.

Well!
We actually won a prize!
Granted it’s because we were the ONLY female pair in this 2up @ Rainford this weekend, but hey!

My missis reckons it will probably the highlight of our competitive cycling career, but what a hoot to see yr name on the winning side, right next to Keith Boardman! He was so chatty and funny too, before and after. I think I’ve got the bug for these events.

Find your own position and keep having fun . Bike fits are for people that like telling people they have had a bike fit :laugh:
Going faster is testing your kit and finding out what is faster . Same hill , no speed and free wheel down it . Boring but it works ...... ish .

Pretty much what I do, keep tweaking, do a long ride, see how it feels, if it feels better keep it, if not change back. Make lots of small changes rather than big ones.

Hiya:
Updates for anyone who’s shared this journey.

At our club awards evening last night I was awarded “most improved rider” and my missis got the trophy for best female TT time in the club. She also got a silver medal for a “women’s standard time”.

Missis is now working towards doing a 24 hour thing. My role in that will be entirely as support.
