I’ve been thinking about doing a time trial for years but have always come up with an excuse for not doing one. Well tonight I just said fuck it and turned up for the Seamons CC evening 10*.
Despite pretty much everyone else being on full on TT bikes I don’t think I disgraced myself and I even beat my boss. To be fair, he is nearly 65 and hasn’t raced for many years :)
The results have just been posted, looks like I was 25th out of 39 starters and pretty sure nobody on a standard road bike finished ahead of me. Yay! Something else ticked off the list. I might have another go later in the year.
It seems that time trialling is growing – little Mikey Mulroy of Velocake fame took part in the Penzance Wheelers club 10 last week recording a respectable time of 29m26s
*It’s actually an 8.75 mile time trial
I did a couple last year out towards wigan, it was good fun. Thinking about having another go this year.
Surely you weren’t trying hard enough if they were fun?
:)
I might do a bit of speed work once Clic is out of the way and have another go at one.
