For those that have been time trialling for decades, how much have you slowed down, or has the advance in technology allowed you to keep the speed up?
For me, I've got better wheels, aero bars, pointy helmet, but still slower than I used to be, but more than 50 years have slipped by, so quite pleased with this years times.
In the late 60's, on a very good 10 course (Rainford Bypass), I used to churn out 24's and 25's and this season (in my late 60's) seem to be in the groove, churning out 28's. So I've slowed by 3 to 4 minutes for a 10.
