help for TT start push off

[screenman]

I always hoped that the push start would be good enough to get me to the turn, it never did.

As I get older I conserve energy by pushing more gently. Plus, of course, you're not allowed to push in a hill-climb (and it has been known for a rider expecting a push to just topple at the start).

I always asked what the rider wanted, some liked a push and some did not.

Actually, 'pusher off' is a bit misleading, I hold up and let go.

I am just a bit worried that at the start of the club 10 i do the guy who balances every one seems to push slightly over and that feels to me that i am going to fall off and i can't really relax my body when its my turn to start

Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated

I do a lot of pushing off for time trials, and if the guy holding you is allowing the bike to lean to one side he isn`t doing it right, it may also be the case that he doesn`t know you are leaning, as occasionally somebody will say to me "left a bit" or "right a bit" etc and it can be corrected, maybe you could do that?? Or, as others have said, do a normal start
