Westerley evening TT series, Hillingdon Circuit, west London

[Cuchilo]

Yes, the traffic builds up on that road so it is best to be out of the way by 10 o'clock.
You did the 10 course, which is the same as the start of the 25. It was a bit windy today so the Wendover bypass might have been quite tough, but probably helping you back up the hill, so not as bad as when it is from the East.
Looks like you turned at the right place. On the 25, the second time you go that way you will turn at the earlier roundabout.

Ah thanks for that . Now I've seen the area it will make it easier to read the course instructions . I stopped a few times to shout at my Garmin so not a great time for a 10

I've also entered for the 10 at Hillingdon this week . Bit late but it looked like there was still space for club members so why not

Why not indeed!
Could you fill in on the club events spreadsheet so we know what type of bike you will be on?

Very windy this evening (like last month), I wanted to give up after two laps but persevered to a not great time (just under 27 minutes). HR graph is essentially a straight line from 165 at the start to 185 over the line, I don't know if that is pacing it well or badly. I'm looking forward to a still day.

This evenings 10 was a bit dryer than the last one

I grabbed the camera after I finished and did more clicking than thinking so the results are not that good but here they are anyway .

Great pics. TT's used to be my bread and butter. Love to have a pop again on my road bike without any aero kit, but I'm on banned drugs these days.

I'm the guy with the white ish beard in the "Belfast" Giro jersey (I'll probably wear it next time, too, because it's the race-fittest jersey I own). I was probably coughing too much afterwards to make small talk. I thought I was dying.

No 40 ? or the guy who stuck his thumb up to me taking photos at the end . It was a good shot but out of focus .

I was 43. You have a shot of me on my warm down lap here https://flic.kr/p/thhN2h

Ahhh . At least you got a picture this time

It looks like there are still a few places left for tomorrows 10. If you want to give TT a try its a great place to start

Afraid not - we're sold out with a record field of 62 riders!
It's going to be busy...
