Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

Excuse me if its been asked already but is anyone here in the Tour of Cambridgeshire TT?

Still a bit of work to do on my position still I think, might take the front down a cm or so and have already lowered the saddle slightly which was considerably more comfortable on the ride in this morning.

Really need to sort out a decent skinsuit as well - thinking about one of the Nopinz supersuits...

I wouldn't go any lower at the front than that. Get yourself a proper helmet as well.

Need to try some other helmets again - had a Javelin before the bambino but my long neck seemed to stop me from getting my head low when I shrugged my shoulders.

I would leave the position 'as is' and just tweak the framerate setting on your animated gif.

:)

I did actually lower the replay speed in that gif

That's some improvement!

That's nothing considering his improvement in the time taken to ride to Sainsbury's a few years ago.

See, you're handicapping yourself. Be free!

Oops another 50 entered.

How many more watts do I need for 2 minutes?!

Oops another 50 entered.

Which one? You could get most of those 2 minutes even on the same course from better weather.

Reading cc on the 31st on the same course!

Hope that's true, and I get better weather then!

i think 10 watts is probably achievable, and quite interested to see the race photos as I have no idea what my position looks like..

Get your head out of the wind

That's not Ed

Oops. Who is it on here with the blue Trek and double Hed 3s? Sure there's someone with a bike matching that description.

thats my old bike, sold to a clubmate!

I'm sure Ed used to have the same bike

Tell him to get his head out of the wind.

Have done, I've also asked why he needed 4 bottles for a 50mile trip as well as a bento box that could carry enough for a small army!

slevless gon slev

Any obvious things I'm doing wrong?

Not sure what is going on with my shoecover on my left foot, but apart from thinking there's probAbaly another spacer I could loose under my armrests im pretty happy with that (as a slvlss position...)

Skinsuit doesn't look very fast - probably some good savings to be had there.

Can you shrug your shoulders to get them narrower? (And push your chin towards your hands to lower your head)

Disc wheel cover would probably save a couple of watts as well.

Skinsuit wise I have a long sleeve option, although I recall @xavierdisley saying the champion systems apex suit tested quite well.

I have a disc and flo 60 trying to get through customs at the moment, the mavics were a loaner from a mate.

Head and shrugging - yes I can tuck my head lower but I have to think about it so it needs to be an uncomplicated bit of the course - I think the photographer was on the exit of a roundabout!

Just a head up that the Maidenhead H10/2 event is cancelled tonight (14/05/2015) due to roadworks. If anyone else was planning to ride.
