Time Trial PB's

[Justinslow]

If you're only 2.29 behind the course record that's pretty impressive IMO

Cheers, yes but those 149 seconds are hard to find, as you know! Last season was on the road bike with clip ons but to get that time I did have shoe covers aero helmet and skin suit.
This year with a full blown TT bike I've nowhere to hide!

Great work. Hopefully I start tt'ing for real in next couple months. Mix it up rather than just training for endurance stuff.

Very impressive times indeed !!!

Cheers for the link - I've been trying to find the times that my buddy Mick Ward has done - not as quick as you for 10 miles.
Mick has always been coy about his age, but I've worked out that he must be in his 80s. I see that in 1958, he won the 25 Mile TT, won the 50 mile TT, was 4th in the 100 and 2nd in the 12 hour - no mean achievement, given the range of distances covered.

I'll send him a copy of this link - I'm sure that he'll spend a lot of time & get a lot of pleasure, looking over old results, so once again, thank you !

Cheers, it's a great site, lots of old friends on it. I wasn't born in 1958 when Mick Ward won the 25 & 50. My claim to fame is 1976

That time of yours is obscene - makes my heart race, just thinking about cycling that fast as a Junior.

(Perhaps you competed against Mick, I know that he came out of retirement in 1977 and finished third in the 12 hour, behind Ticker Mullins {A really Great name - 'Ticker'} and Martyn Roach).

By no means putting anybody down for TT, but is the amount of events vs road race/ criterium particular to Britain. Couriosity really

 

[SWSteve]

Britain does have a lot of TTs in comparison to other countries, but I'm not sure compared against road race/crits

Sporting hilly 21.7 mile course today, early start - start time 8.26. Approx 1 degrees and foggy with damp roads, although the sun soon burnt the fog away by the time I started and it warmed a little. Wasn't really looking forward to it, wound myself up a little worrying that i wasn't up to it!
15th out of 55 with a 54.46
Winning time was a jaw dropping 48.09.
Overall really pleased although my calfs started to cramp up, my right actually did cramp and I had to cruise for a bit thinking my race was up. Luckily with a bit of stretching standing up it came back and I managed to complete the course, but definitely lost some time there. Only my third road ride on the bike so still adjusting to the position and the bike.

Screw the bike, what about me? .


Seriously, cheers, yeah I am pleased with it, just got to learn how to ride it properly. Proper missile on the flats and downhill where the aero really comes into its own, but a bit of a slug up the hills (which is where my lack of umph comes in).
Don't feel I'm fully in control just yet!

You look like a sack of shoot on a nice bike
Seriously though , you need to find whats best for you . Play with it and dont be afraid to try new things .
My first thoughts where the saddle needs to go up as your knee looks very bent in the pictures and lose the spacers under the stem . You are the expert not us . Try it , test it and see what it does for you .
