Help me go faster

Reality was, slowest riders got dropped. Quite enjoyed it but due to other stuff, Tuesdays and Thursdays will be out for me, so will just have to try for Sundays. Or see how Norwich ABC are, but their kit is absolutely vile!

Yes but the 'Club Ride' is Sunday only.

You are correct about the ABC kit but I never wear club colours anyway - far too expensive for my budget - Altura jerseys are 1/4 of the price.

You're number 19 I think. I'll be hanging around at the end to chat.

Yes, I'm number 19

Will, I see that you were pretty speedy at 21:47 or something like that. I think the early starters had a slight advantage with the wind not being as strong.

I did 26:26 which I was reasonably pleased with. I'm considering lycra shorts and aero helmet for future TTs. Shame both items cost a fortune!

Sorry I didn't see you - normally I rely on looking at people's backsides to work out who they are

It was a pretty windy day which got harder over the event and probably gave me a better time than some of the later starters. Even so, I was averaging over 30mph on the way back. Some of the back end of the field were reporting over 35mph average return speeds. It was probably about a 45 seconds slower than a decent day.

It's blowing a gale now, so I'm glad it was early!

Good to see you PBd - at least 90 seconds. Where was your 28 done?

I managed 28 minutes timing myself a few times using my cateye - this was actually my first 'real' 10 mile TT.
