I binned it off, I'm afraid. I stopped racing this year and found Strava was feeding the obsession, so thought I'd better stop that too! Still getting the miles in though. Hope things are good with you?

Blimey! If I wasn't such a fat, slow turd, I'd be popping up in a slightly more impressive fashion! Thank you nonetheless...

Double post

Ha ha! Quite the opposite, more's the pity...

Circuit of Chailey turn-up-on-the-line TT also on the 25th if any of you geeks fancy joining me and a few other like minded individuals. It's a very relaxed affair, approx 17 miles of undulating country lanes and a great taster of TTing for the uninitiated. Needless to add, road bikes very much...

Thanks a lot folks! It was only the thought of first place on the nsc strava leader board that was driving me on. I was a mile short of last year's total, but considering my evaporating form, I'm more than happy with that. Now if you want proper impressive, consider Mark Holton ' s winning...

I don't know the bloke but he sounds like a proper tool. Just checked the results of the Rovers' TTs and his times are pretty pony, so I think the 'Competitive Dad' conclusions are probably spot on!

Which eastbourne rover is it? Not stuart Davis by any chance?

Born again tester! Welcome to the dark side.

I agree totally with the above. I have a P2max on my TT bike and it's excellent for intervals. I also use a wattbike occasionally and the power function is equally useful, but the power values generated are quite different. This will partly be down to position (aero is almost always at the...

Hi IL. Yes, I'd agree with maninblack.. that the strava power estimates are next to useless. And even when power is measured, it seems extremely variable and quite hard to draw any definitive conclusions from - as an example, I beat a clubmate by nearly a minute in a 10 mile TT yesterday. He...

Unbelievable scenes!

get her on a time trial bike!

Had an early start this morning and came along the edburton road - lethal in places! I'd naively kidded myself that we'd seen the back of all that nonsense for another year...

O Ha ha! Just trying to keep the wheels spinning the right way at the moment. Starting to lose my mojo a bit - bring on the spring! IL - been following the one year time trial with interest. I met steve during my audax phase and I've got no doubt (barring injury) that he'll do it. Just seems...

Agreed. I'd still back Cav to win a flat sprint against Degenkolb on the Via Roma.

Thanks for that. If he's getting over hills that are seeing viviani et al dropped, got to be good news for msr?

Haven't seen the footage, but wondered how cav looked on the climbs?

Well spotted. I did my 100 back in May, well before I had any serious BBAR aspirations, and by the time I'd done a decent 12hr and 50, I was pretty well spent. The other guys in the top 12 all did 100s on faster Midlands and East Anglia courses, which by general consensus seem to be 10-15min...

Thanks a lot IL! It was the last counting event at the weekend and, although it hasn't all been properly ratified yet, I think I've just about held onto 7th. PB'ed at all distances this year and massively exceeded even my most ambitious targets, so feeling very smug. Dangerous game though...
