Club TT

Just looking at calender , Im guessing we have 10 more thursdays before our TT's get under way

cant wait !!

seconded!

Alreading priming the bike!

It's been a couple of years since I've been able to do any, I think the last time I was over I punctured.

I plan to do a few this year so see you there

I'll be having to see how aero I can get on a road bike, no money for a TT bike yet =O(

No TT gear and alloy bike in my case so should be a giggle!

Remember gents ,no need for expensive gear.....it's only yourself your racing against !

My heap of scrap did me quite well last year, as chris says, its a race against yourself.
On my first one I half gave up as I got overtaken by 12 riders, but once you realise it doesnt matter if you are overtaken and find a rhythm then the seconds (or minutes) will tumble, after 3 weeks I had lost 2 minutes. It was still a 37min but it was an improvement.

I think my biggest problem will be my old pb, think it was 23:16 for a 10 and i feel i could have gone faster back then on the right day as well.

It is what it is, just have to see what i can do!!

Need to give up work, that's the way forward!!

mr_leemur - don't bring your old pb to SNCC cicuit, you'll just be disappointed. Ours is very much a sporting course with a crap surface, and it's 11.2 miles. If you're under 30minutes you're doing alright. If you're under 27 minutes you're fast.

Hi strange isnt it,, quite a few above are more concerned about bikes/aero positions and general nonsense, i just wonder if anyone has thought about getting out the bike and actually doing some training..but what do i know.eh eh G.. ..

Been doing as much of that as i can, total of three hours on the turbo over the weekend!!

I think you missed the bit where I said it would be a giggle Geoff, i.e. I'm not all that bothered about throwing money at it/perfect aero position

Yes, a newer frame would be nice but it would be a road frame first as that's what I spend most of my time riding
