Have you gone lower ?

No mate, if anything I still think i look a bit like I'm too far over the front of the bike, it's just the way I seem to end up when I'm trying.

You don't look too far forward to me .

Not a PB, but worth a mention -

First ever 25 - 9/4/67 - 1:10:43
Today's 25 - 10/7/16 - 1:10:40

Although similar times, the first was on a wet & cold day on the East Lancs Road and the winner's time 1:3:17. I was riding the "Bates" on my avatar picture with 26" HP's and steel chain set.
Today's course Q25/8 has a bit of a gift start and the winner's time was 0:50:05 (course record). I was riding 50x15 fixed with tri-bars. Amazing winner's time. In 1967, I think comp record was still only a 53 (Baz Breedon?) and now times like this in a local open club TT.

Have been quicker in between, but don't often ride 25's now. This was a 7yr best so quite pleased.

24-05 tonight on a cut down 8.9 mile course due to roadworks. Tough headwind then head/cross wind for 1st 6 miles. By my calculations id have gone into the 26's for the 1st time had it been the full 10. Was the best I've felt.

Walk of shame, punctured again on warm up for tonight's 13 mile hilly TT.
Think I'm done with wasting my time.

Have you not got pitstop in the tubs ?

Yep, didn't do a shoots worth of good, sidewall again, the roads round here are so crappy with loads of stones floating about, I think tubs are are just not strong enough (well the ones I use anyway). Any recommendations for tougher tubs?
This was in the warm up and was following 3 other riders not one of which gave me a shout to warn of stones.

New 10mile pb . 26.43 on the levens course near Kendal

 

[Cuchilo]

Good man !

 

[iggibizzle]

Cheers. Getting better all the time Was my 1st go on a dual carriageway course with just 1 turn halfway. Kind of enjoyed the me vs pain and little else to think about like corners etc

Club championship 10 tonight, new rear tub fitted, a more heavier "training" tub which I'm hoping is a stronger construction!
23.55 pb on this course by 34 seconds and 6th out of 18 club riders, winner was 22.33. My overall pb on a 10 by 24 seconds.
Probably no trophies though as there were loads of good pb's tonight (there's fastest, handicap and vets).
Pretty pleased with a good pb as I've not had the most consistent season - missing quite a few of our club TT's and puncturing on two and not entered any opens since early spring.

Yay! and I think I may have bagged a "silver" in the vets according to the provisional results.
With the other non club riders taking part I was 7th out of 30.
