Cheers, both (@hippy )
Slow morning on the V718, your mate was right - strong headwind on the return leg.
Still, finally broke my 20 minute duck with a 19.37. So very relieved, there were a few points last night sitting on my own in the Premier Inn Hull West wondering "what the hell am I doing here?". Rode pretty much spot on plan of 399w out and 402w back.
My minute man told me I should definitely try out 180mm cranks given my leg length. Didn't have the heart to say I had another few months of testing before selling all my stuff and getting fat.

Are you shaped like a brick?

Good stuff! Glad it was worthwhile in the end.
Come to me when you're selling your TT stuff...

Congrats man! Really blustery day. I got about 200m onto the main road after the turn and had a rear mech explosion. Big bit of chipping wedged in between cage and jockey wheel. How the hell that happened I've no idea. Had to scoot 8 miles back to HQ! Took hours and nearly froze to death. Nice chap called George riding fixed gave me a push the last two miles once he'd finished racing. Top man. Total waste of a day but these things happen.

Am I allowed to ask the story here? It's intriguing is all.

Good luck! Club mate mentioned it looked like a strong headwind on the longer return leg which is annoying, but still - quick course so will still be fun!
