10.08 miles in 23:07 in the middle of a 100km ride.
The route I don't think is an official TT course, it's Barrington to Bourn (I did it finnish to start compared to that map.

The offspring's fastest time before he gave up the sport was a short 21 for a 10-mile course and the hour for a 25 mile course.

Nowhere near the course record. No, it wasn't a downhill course, it was a gently rolling course on decent tarmac. He was at the point of getting decent times for 10s and improving on 25s

well if he isn't a particularly notable tester you must have some pretty swift riders up your way.
I just checked this years U/30 results and I haven't found a single 21minute ride all year and we have some pretty decent testers and the occasional notable elite visitors

He was good, and getting better. But he wasn't in the really fast lot - yet - but steadily getting there. He had taken medals in his age category in the Rudy Project National Time Trial Series. When he started university, competitive cycling was put to one side.

Wiggie can do an 18 minute 10... and in the world of TT-ing, that is a big, big difference from a short 21.
Wow, just like to say I've just skimmed through this thread and I've never felt so out of shape in my life!
The last time I did 10 miles was on a British Eage Trailbreaker full suspension mounting bike and it took me about 1hr 15min to complete! I need a new bike and I need to get in shape!

Nothing wrong with not being a racing cyclist - just enjoy whatever cycling it is you do.

Well, my current personal best is just over 33 minutes, I'm guessing that won't make anyone nervous
Obviously I have no pretensions to racing but would like to be able to break 30 minutes by the end of next year.

The power increase required to overcome drag in order to drop from a 20 to a 19 or even a 19 to a (low) 18 is massive. Those times are done on very fast courses where reasonable riders usually putting out 21s on other courses can set a new PB close to a low 20.peanut said:well he is only a minute or so off Chris Boardman and Bradley Wigggins times so I wouldn't say he was just 'good'

that is the best time I was able to achieve 4 years ago on my 10 mile loop
That sounds like a very good target Mac. Might join you .
I am hoping to join a club to get some decent mileage into my legs over Christmas and then I've set a goal of my first 5 mile TT on 4th April on U/30
