Got a PB today in localish time trial. This is primarily due to it being my first ever
Was a 10 mile TT on the D10/1 course. Weather wise it was warm and sunny but with a variable wind. Traffic was light to medium but seemed to crop up at the wrong times lol.
Seems somewhat ironic being a veteran and a TT virgin! Overall very happy with my time of 25:31.

That is a lame old excuse, just not trying hard enough.

My favourite course when i was a teen. Used to start in Blindfoot Lane and the Skem turn was a small roundabout. My PB was on this course in 1969. Never bettered it. Well done on your first ride. Always the hardest.

Would agree with that. Learned a lot about myself and the handling on the TT bike I bought off a fellow club member at a great price. Was only my second time out on it!

You can say that again. I was less than 2 mins away in 1969 and been trying for years. This year now 10mins off.
Well done on your PB.
Rather than putting in the extra effort i may try the E2 course
I've, in the past tried some of the "fast" courses. When I lived on merseyside, we were envious of the Yorkshire courses and we did occasional raids over the Pennines to ride the O2 course. This was a very flat dual carriage way course on the A1, but unfortunately, every time I rode it, the winds were strong and times were always miserable. Events were also usually full fields, so the only times I got on was when it was a limit event.Rather than putting in the extra effort i may try the E2 course
In the 90's, my local courses were the Q courses (Kent) and fairly sporting. I struggled in those days to get under 70mins. But across the water in Essex, there was the notorious E72 course. I rode this a few times and always went faster, sometimes by over 5 mins compared with the Q courses. But once you get a "fast" time on a fast course, it's not as rewarding when you do a slower ride on a slow course.
Nowadays, I stick to our local Q courses and just try and better last years times, without venturing out to find those fast courses. But if I got within a couple of minutes to the hour, I might be tempted again.
Cheers
