time trialing on a turbo

[Herzog]

so you can spin at around 60mph for 10 minutes solid?

My point was (a facetious remark) turbo mph and distance vs real life mph and distance are totally different and pretty pointless comparing.

On the turbo I’m Alex Dowsett - on the road I’m more like Alex Higgins...

I'm more of a Terry Griffith type rider, but ride slower than he plays/played

you need a powermeter on the turbo bike to gauge and compare efforts on the road.

If you are like most people you will find even this comparison is not a good one!

Just get out and ride the darn bike. Turbo fine when it's REALLY cold or snowing or heavy rain. Or with a broken clavicle. That is all.

Happens to us all as we get older. Think it must be the body's way of preparing us for the inevitable!!

I ride for 10-12 hours a week including races, all riding is done on my TT bike and all none race riding is done on the turbo.

I ride it for up to 3 hours at a time. Always with a purpose.

After racing I often go on the turbo trainer for a while too either to warm down or if it was a club 10, to do some extra training efforts.

Can't beat it for pure efficiency.

im starting to find this forum less and less useful, as an 'old road man' you'd be willing to try and help a younger generation.

I knew there was a lot of snobbery towards cycle clothing but was unaware that you could be frowned upon for cycling in the wrong manner, i assumed the point of the forum was to be able to get informed and share ideas but instead it seems a place where people can try and dictate the exact form of cycling i should be doing.

Doesn't bother me I always do what I fancy regardless of internet forum advice.
That's internet advice for you, take it or leave it or just ignore it.

Team kit when you aren't in the team is unforgivable
