What's your fastest 10 miler?

[bonk man]

25.20 on our fastest course.. slightly lumpy... our club record is under 22 mins on it, I think the fastest in an open on it is 19 mins

It makes me feel slow looking at those times.

Might go and do some faster courses next year.

you sound very knowlegable on testing, what is your 10 mile PB ?

My PB? Good god... a hugely slow 32 something or other on a one I did for fun. At the moment it would probably be twice that! I know about time trials as I was at them several times a week during the season for several years, and was the one filling in WCMnr's entry forms for events, washing his kit, making sure he got fed & hydrated, shouting encouragement from the verges, marshalling turns, doing start sheets & results sheets...

Effects of aero equipment on your TT times can be considerable.

They also found that outdoors there was a 60-70 watt saving at 40km/h between the normal road bike setup, which required ~280-290W at this speed, and the full time trial setup (~220W). That worked out at between 22-24% in aerodynamic savings. To put it another way, it was 9 seconds per kilometre, 2'14 per 10 miles (16.1km) [unquote]

On that basis my 20.30 would have been 18.16. I have always thought it might have been a long 18 but I'll never know. LOL

Hey all
I got new Sv bike last week. Before two day I have finished 10 miles in 1hr. I am a bike racer and i did 10 miles on North America. It is a nice track which is good for any race. If you will go in this track then you will also finish 10 miles in approximately 1hr 30min if you are able to ride bike fast.

 

[scott s10]

1hr 30 mins, 15mph average surely you could go faster than that.

 

[scott s10]

sorry just had another look the average for 10miles at 1hr 30mins is 6.5mph. that cant be right

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I have never broken 24. I haven't done many timed 10 mile TTs anyway, but I have always been between 24 and 27 or so. I am a climber and not built for speed. And I expect if I did one these days it would be significantly slower than that...

 

[scott s10]

im ok at climbing but i can do speed for quite a long time . that should come into play when i start racing aswell as time trialling.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I hope so, although racing is all about 1. determination and 2. tactics - once you've got the necessary level of fitness, strength and skill, of course... Good luck to you!

I've not TT'd since I quit fags 4 years ago!

 

[Fixedwheelnut]

My best this year was 25:05 on the West Kingsdown Q10/26 course with an 88" fixed gear steel bike, couldn't get under 25 yet.

Not that many 11 year olds TTing in Bermuda I would have thought, so you could be one of only five. Still a pretty good time for an 11 year old though .......................
