Joe..TT's are hard work on a Sunday...early starts - most of mine were 30 miles away, start before 9am, so at the HQ at 8, add travel time - up at 6, leave at 7.15..at the latest...
And to top it off, you have to ride your bike really fast...FFS...what do they expect eh........ all part of the fun........
The fast courses will start at 7.00 - in the old days, just try telling an organiser that there are 3/4 riders in the same car, so please can we start within 30 mins of each other....ohh those were the days......
