I did my first medium gear 25 this evening on a club TT. Homemade road bike, no extensions, no pointy hat, no skin suit, no aero aids at all. Running a 48x18 gear, fixed, so comfortably below a 72" gear with 23c tyres. I ended up with an official time of 1:07:56 which I'm reasonably happy with, and a NP figure of 300W for the whole ride, which I'm very happy with. It's the first time I've held 300W for an hour. Now all I have to do is get my weight down to 75kg, and I'm a member of the 4W/kg club. Mind you, I haven't been 75kg at any time within the last 25 years, so that's not guaranteed...
