CYCLOGS

[Auntie Helen]

Argh 21 mins! I've yet to do a TT but I bet I wouldn't get that!

I dunno, sounds easy to me
(in a parallel universe entirely unlike this one!)

I've been trying to do the maths to work out the average mph if one does 10 miles in 21 mins 9 seconds but I can't do it. Maths O-level in 1987 has clearly all leached out of my brain! A shade under 30mph clearly but can't work it out any more detailed than that. Very embarrassing lack of mathematical skill And very impressive cycling skill by Aran and his Tardis.

 

[longers]

28.368 and a bit mph. Possibly.

They were short races...

A 10 mile Time Trial on Saturday and a 25 mile Time Trial Sunday with a few warm up miles for each... will update cyclogs tomorrow cause it's late and I'm tired.

I won the 10 mile TT with a time of 21:06 (was tough).
2nd today in the 25 mile TT with a time and new personal best time of 50:37 (average speed of 29.5 mph). Lost first place by only 7 seconds... Ohhhhh! Perhaps I shouldn't of done the 10 miler the night before??

woah.....FAST.
Aran what club you in if I may ask?
Also....will you be doing the fareham wheelers 10mile this thursday?

I may have a rubbish maths brain but my memory ain't as bad as yours, Montage. And I quote...

wooo fareham!! Part of fareham wheelers?

No... VC St RAPHAEL.

I am shamed.

or maybe I said that in a parallel universe entirely unlike this one

Firstly thanks everyone for your comments, you're all making me blush. AH if you look at my times you'll see that my 25 mile time trial was actually faster (29.6mph) than the 10 mile event so the 10 time wasn't that impressive, I've done a +30mph 10mile TT before now though.

I ride for a Club called VC St Raphael. I used to ride for the Royal Navy.

Can't make Thursday night as it will be a rest day of sorts... Will be riding but not wanting to race as I'll be racing again this weekend.

Fancy bringing your bike up to Worcestershire so I can use it for tomorrows Ten?

HA HA, Nice one AH

 

[Baggy]

Well, I managed about 46 miles at 15mph yesterday which is a blistering speed for me!

My knees ache today though - set off up a hill that starts off at 15%, decided it felt much harder than last time I tried it...carried on...then realised I was still in my middle ring.

Yep fair point Aran, rubbish time in the 10 mile TT.

More short races, I hope, as I'm holding onto CycleChat Team's top spot by the skin of my teeth...

If you're riding anywhere near this part of the world, let us know and we'll come and cheer you on (and sabotage your bike afterwards).

Very kind of you AH, but don't think there I'll be riding in a ny events near Bromley. Think the closest I get is up near Newmarket in may for a 50mile TT, but thats a fair old distance away from you.

 

[Auntie Helen]

I'm not in Bromley but Great Bromley which is in North Essex (Colchester). Newmarket isn't that far away so let us know nearer the time if you wish to be cheered on in the millisecond that it takes you to pass our vantage point.

I note that the Cyclogs rankings show a lot of new people joining the CycleChat team at the moment. Aren't we all doing well!

I've been letting the side down recently though

Yet another stinking cold has kept me off the bike recently but I'll probably cycle to work tomorrow to try and burn it off
