What's your fastest 10 miler?

[darkstar]

Does not matter if it were done in a proper TT or just timed privately.
Went out for a quick ride today, decided to do the first 10 miles as quickly as i could, managed it in 29 minutes with a traffic light stop ever lap (5 laps) so was fairly pleased with it for a first effort, it was a flat course though. Anyone do them regularly? Have any tips on training methods?

I didn't time it but descending 10 miles from the top of the Tourmalet was pretty quick.

On a standard road bike, 24:31; on a TT bike, 23:22...both on the same rolling TT course. Not done a dragstrip course for a 10 yet - that said, my first 10 miles in a recent 25 mile TT on a fast course was 22:28 according to the Garmin, but that is unofficial of course.

24.53 with Will's pointy hat, on a road bike with clip-ons. Hoping to be getting down to long 22's next year with the help of a TT bike and disc etc, and also some better training.

I only ride the same local course. It's fairly fast but not a real dragstrip, the course record is a couple of seconds under 20 minutes, set by Gordon McCauley, a reasonable club rider can do around 22 minutes.

I've managed 23:39.

And 25:20 on my old commuting bike (although I did take the 'guards off)

Just under an hour, including cake stop and photo oportunity.

I'm an overweight 31 year old who eats/drinks too much and I managed to dig out a 21:57 in my first year of cycling. I'm going to do a 20 next year.

I hope.

Never actually done a 10 TT but my comute is 10.2 miles, fastest time 28.04 which takes in 2 sets of traffic lights and passing a comprehensive school at 8.30

 

[darkstar]

Apart from downhilling the Tourmalet the only timed 10 I've done was 27.30.

Sounds good. My commute is 9 miles and I've never knowingly done it in under 30 minutes.
