@ewanmac I'll PM you too!

FUCT have a separate fixed category for their event on the H10/17r in late August.

Took the trip to Glyneath and the r25/3h today and knocked my pb down from 56.05 to 51.45 :)

Bit disappointed, was expecting to be handed my 49 when I signed on and the ski slope isn't nearly as steep as I had been lead to believe ;)

Also got picked out if the hat for doping control.

Good to see Hayley smash the women's comp record with a 49.28(?)

Clearly you need to pick even heavier ballast. :)

Plumbing new depths ;)

Ploom Boom. :)

Three CR in eight days I believe!

Yup 50 last weekend, 10 yesterday and the 25 today!

Yates/Hutch tandem record went also.

Hmm - found some photos of the 25 - wondering if my saddle is a touch high and if there is a better helmet for me: http://www.kimroy-photography.co.uk/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=526481

The Bell Javelin is quite "tall" and the tail doesn't sit on my back but around 1" away

Also put the ride into aerolab - comes out with a CdA of ~0.175 I think. Most other times I have measured it its around 0.200 so I think that shows the effect of even a relatively small amount of passing traffic!

The new Catlike could be good.

Yes - I have been thinking about that one, the Scott Split and Sworks TT, a lot of quick riders using it the Catlike...

Mixed 2up TT was great fun, 20:48 for third place and a bag of £1 coins! Think we might need to do a few more as I think we might be able to go quite fast with a bit more practice!

@Sainsburys_Ed What! Me ad @dbr got third at the LVCC 2 up and got nada.

This was an open.... Plus a3crg event who are always generous with prizes...

I'm guessing rach_e won it?

Yep, 30s ahead of us, great ride by them, was pretty pleased with our ride considering lack of practice and my lack of recent form!

I talked to him about this record once, he said it was unreal sitting behind Yates overtaking cars at 75mph for 2 miles down the hill.

Made it into the Nat 10. LOL

First rider off, naturally.

Don't get caught and you'll be leading the National, briefly.

I built a TT bike.
Commuted on it this morning. Quite comfy, bit difficult in traffic.
Was too exhausted to ride home, so Here's a station pic.

Uh oh. You're gonna smash TTs.

So far- I'm yet to get properly comfy on it (working on not getting cramp in forearms- otherwise- fine)
But I doubt it, I'm so weak after being ill.
Winter training on it should sort it out.

@eyebrows I found changing from s-bends to ski-bends and angling them up slightly got rid of arm/hand discomfort.
