  • I tried my own hour record at the UCI Velodrome on Saturday. There were only three other people on track, so I got a clear run at it. 36.96km from a standing start, without tri bars. Hoped to get rather closer to 40km, I must admit.

  • Your head position probably stole you 1km if you had to keep an eye up for the other riders most of the time.

  • About half of the time @Cycliste and I were the only people on track, and @Cycliste was behind me trailing around after me. But there were plenty of other things which would have slowed me down as well - no tri bars, insufficient warm-up, hangover, no skinsuit, normal helmet. And being old, fat and slow, of course.
