Only joshing. It was still good fun.
It wasn't a big margin, I didn't even catch you. S'nice that we were all quite closely matched.
I'm doing Cambridge's only hilly TT this evening which takes in the mighty 39m 5% climb of Chapel Hill, so I'm going on the road bike. I'm convinced the current Strava KOM is a bit cheaty as he's a full 10% faster than everyone else : http://www.strava.com/segments/chapel-hill-645815?hl=en-GB

Make sure you take enough gels.

Chapel Hill
I grew up in Haslingfield. I must have cycled up Chapel Hill over a thousand times.
(In a time long before mainstream cycling GPSes let alone Strava.)
I use to race my mate up there (and rarely ever win since he held, and may possibly still hold, the Cambridgeshire juvenile 10 and 25 TT records. I know he did a low 22 and sub hour 25 aged 15.)
[EDIT] I checked. F2Y10 23:02 aged 15, his juvenile 25 (unlisted course) was 1:03:56. These records still stand according to the website. His 22:38 on F2/10 (A45) and 59:46 on E3/25 were as a junior (16), records subsequently beaten.

I'll definitely try and make it down for one or two. How often are you out on the Thursday TTs?

Yep, apologies to @Hefty and @cjmiska for that. @Hefty beat me by a considerable margin, and @cjmiska was only a bit slower despite being on a 12kg bike with disk brakes. My chosen excuse is overtraining from the week in Gran Canaria the week before. And the usual excuses of being slow, old and fat.
