The Hour Record

He probably would have been on it if he'd done 17.1s rather than 17.0s, it's ~0.5kph difference (52.5 vs >52.9) or ~8w. He couldn't see properly so was flying out of turn 4 way too high too, pillock.

I'm just glad he didn't hit the dekk.

couldn't see properly? was that why he was flying all over the place? I only saw a short recap but straight and steady it did not look.

He didn't hold the line Peet. Wobbling all over the place :(

In other news, I currently hold (on behalf of LFGSS) the Bike Show Listeners' Hour Challenge by virtue of being the only person to post a distance so far. You'll be pleased to know it was on a 64 spoked wonky old track bike. 38.5km.

^ Good effort. When someone on a teetee biek beats it you can still claim the Bike Show Listeners' Althlete's Hour Challenge.

Does Dekker not get an extra few metres for looking a bit like Harry Styles?

Well done @dbr - where did you choose to do it? I just joined the Bike Show club and am plotting an attempt for tomorrow afternoon.. just need to find a road nearby that isn't a hill.

wonderful

Hold on... the UCI have reviewed the tapes and it's actually 38.5km

@Hefty I actually used aero bars for the first time ever - so much fun!
@Paramounted I went to the open session at the Lea Valley Velopark road track (42x13 fixed if you want to give it a crack)

Not with aerobars he can't.

Good stuff laying down a decent distance.

I see that now. Arrobarz on an old track bike sounds like a recipe for anti. Pics pls @dbr

Risers and aero bars. At least I can't be accused of having all the gear. Might even get 500m more out of her if I took off the mudguards.

Matching grips and elbow pads are a nice touch

I like it.

Kudos for the distance. I bet you'd have smashed 40km on something set up to be more speedy.

I'm happy to accept a loan of double discs for a second run!
