Time Trial PB's

[HLaB]

Equal 3rd on Handicap (aka not as slow as I have been). 24.49 on the N3/10 (That's actually 10.1miles) and a 24s PB. Keeping aero on the way back and out 😮

Still witing for the OT but I'm quite confident of a PB on the NC16N/10 Naseby TT. TR, Garmin and Strava are giving me 26:01-06 moving which is a circa 1min PB and over 3mins faster than last year when the wheel was rubbing the frame! I threw away a few secs though as I thought the finish was on the hill to the A14 overbridge and saved some power for it, it was at the bottom of the hill

A good season of racing just come to an end for me, still managed to get a little slippier with PB's on two standard distances:

• 10m TT 20:30 - on the Eglington course, one of three 10's under 21m this year
• 50m TT 1:54:29 - down Merseyside way - a new course to me

Still not beaten my 25m PB now in 4 years! My only shot this year was halted when I got stuck in traffic that was stuck behind a bloody cyclist Did do another 100 but wasn't really ready for it and on a slower course than last year.

I've been climbing the rankings and doing allright for an old fart.

First race of the season for me last Sunday, the iconic circuit of the dales, a 50 mile hilly TT starting and finishing at Ingleborough Yorkshire. My fifth time I’ve done the event. Managed to get a PB, going round in 2hr11min24sec. in good conditions (although the headwind from Sedburgh to Hawes wasn’t pleasant Really happy with my time, especially since I only jumped aboard my new TT bike the week before so was still getting used to it, in fact I was still tweaking my position 8pm the day before. until last Saturday the last time I rode a TT bike was a race at the end of July (I fractured my pelvis in August so my season was over and never really got back into the TT bike) So to get a PB really bodes well for the season ahead of me.

Where's that?

Must do one this year!

Bet @DCLane has sold that TT bike!!

Sold a fortnight ago to an Italian. You should have made me a cheeky offer.

The new road bike category for TT's is popular though.

Not far from Annecy (France) so 2 hrs away for me.

Don't need any more bikes ATM 6 is enough!

Managed to find a picture of me from the race last weekend. Still work in progress with the position.

This sounds massive fun - well, as 50mile TTs go, anyway! (I've probably ridden most of the course, but purely as a tourist...)
If you could guarantee good weather, I'd make a trip out of this some day :P What a place to race xxx

Saturdays warm up session:

Was a fairly ok effort over the 12.1km course with an average speed of 43.3kmh with a little over 50m of elevation.

Next one in just over a weeks time👍🏻

Racing season almost over (for me)... standard distance PBs:

1. 10m 19:55 at Levens in Cumbria - fast course but I can now die happy!
2. 25m 53:02 on a new course on the Eglington Circuit in Scotland
3. 50m 1:53:10 on Manchester & District - even came third overall!

Not sure how much more racing I'll get in this season. Got LEL to finish first, after that I will see if I can face a 100!

Congratulations on your times Viniga, some great times there

Unfortunately my season finished no sooner as it begun. A bad crash on a training ride at Easter (hitting an unseen pothole) resulted in a smashed collarbone that needed pinned and plated, three broken ribs and a punctured lung that required nine days in hospital

My main A race for the year (The National 12hr) was just 8 weeks after the crash so I had no chance of recovering in time so I decided to sack this season off, train hard over winter and hopefully come back stronger in 2026
