No idea about gearing. But wind looks a good direction and speed.
Will be a light head wind to the turn and tail back.
Low pressure too and slightly stormy conditions.Will be fast I bet.
Is it morning or afternoon? Will be a bit cold in the morning, but better conditions as day goes on.
I reckon 5 min faster than the E1/25b. So gear for something like a 56min time.

Excellent, thanks for the reply! Afternoon, 2pm I think.
93rpm @ 97" for a time for 56:00. Think I might just stick with the bigger gear then. If it stops drizzling I might even get to take it out for a spin.

Pointing you back to the start at the turnaround roundabout . All 150 of you.

I did a 1:02 on E1/25b (bit bumpy, 71m of climbing, not a fast course) at 96rpm, 85". Felt like I could have geared a little higher.
Racing the E2/25 on Saturday (apparently a fast course). I mistakenly changed my gearing to 97". Should I stick with it and try Big Gear Theory a la @xavierdisley, or should I put on 90" like I actually meant to?
I know the correct response is do what's right for you, but this is only my second 25 and third ever TT so I don't know what's right for me yet.
