10 secs off my pb last night. But I now know I can hold the pace for 13 mile. Had a mare in warm up and had to basically sprint to the start 3 miles away after the delay. Made it with 30 seconds to spare. Didn't get time to catch breath before I was off
Yes you are correct, he was one of the best TT riders at the club holding a lot of club records. Happened last August and nobody really knew what happened but according to the article it seems component failure was the cause. I didn't know him personally or ever ride with him as I started at the club when he was in a period of illness and not around much. He was very well regarded by all members of the club and is very much missed.
If it's what I think it is? The organiser gives preference to the slowest 50 riders as per their PB's and guarantees a ride. In days of old, events used to be over subscribed and this was a way of giving slower riders a chance to ride on fast courses.Sorry to darken the mood on the thread , i just saw the club kit and recognized it as Justins club .
Any howwwwwww .. Just looking at an open event 25 mile and the options to enter are normal or slowest 50 . now i'm not fast but as the start sheet isn't revealed until close of entry you don't know who is riding to know if you are going to be fast or slow . It's like having to admit you think you are shoot or good
It's this one . https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/race-details/11987
Yeah ditched the 82 Planet X front tonight, put on 30mm road wheel. Well windy, not a night for deep fronts! Didn't pb, 5 seconds off, but was 4th home (2nd in the club) out of 26 riders on one of our 8 mile courses.
