Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

G'wan then. I've been meaning to get one for a while now. Maybe even two.

How much?

What's the general rule of thumb about pacing a 50 mile TT? Is it 2x25 mile TTs plus 5 mins, or is it plus 10?

Plus 2 isn't it?

Plus 2 isn't it?

It was plus 5 when I was a boy, still seems about right if you're doing 25±1mph

Thanks!

2x 25 +2 for me at the moment. Mind you, it was blowing a gale when I set my latest 25 PB.

2x25+7 I think

Just out of interest, what is the suggested % FTP for a 24? Is there such a thing?

70%?

That would be at the higher end.

Good. Ta.

Better delete this. Your audax buddies would be horrified you even asked :P

audax buddies?

I avoid eye contact with everyone.

You're sorted for TT HQs then.

Mine is 2x25 + 5 with a shit performance in both!

My Report on last Sunday's Hounslow Open 25:

Not sure if all of Theo Tadros' rides are on fixed at the moment, but the H&DW was, as was the Kent VTTA 10 and the SFA 10 over the past few weeks.

He was riding one of his Dad's old geared Ti frames on the H10/22 back whenever.

Rode fixed for the National HC - had a much lighter bike than me!

I think they've had a swap, Pete has been back on the Ti frame :0)

Info booklet, armwarmers, safety pins and duck tape all neatly in a pile at home.

Sadly I am in North Wales, but the rest of my stuff is here so that's ok. Bike sorted out though (rack and mudguards removed) and just need to make GPX files of the various legs.

*twitch*

2x25+7 I think

1. You're welcome.
   

Good luck!

Alternative to Raltech aero covers now they aren't making them anymore? I've tried and failed with Bike.Science as they don't return email or calls.

good luck @Greenbank if you can do this IM will be a walk in the park!
