Watched the carry on with traffic.
I wouldn't actually choose to ride that road during the day, and the close passing and Russian roulette of opposing sides of traffic trying to squeeze past riders.I wouldn’t like to ride that in peak traffic time either. Looks like it has the combined worst aspects of single and dual carriageway roads right there.

True, you'd need to be super aggressive with your primary positioning to force everybody to do proper overtaking. On the other hand, everything looks worse from the side of the road than it does from the controls of a TT bike

@tommmmmmm have the old clip on's I bought over 20 years ago...... not sure if I am bendy enough to use them :)
In other news.
Wednesday night is 10 TT night. Rode over to one of the bridges and had a look.
Met a club member as well, also watching.

Fuck that.
Early weekend mornings yep fine, road very quiet. 7pm -8pm weeknights still super busy road with traffic doing motorway speeds.
Might try it once with a number, maybe.
Will stalk the club records for tonights time which with the recent storms and weather should be fast running tonight as no breeze and low pressure.
Some pics for a midweek TT fix :)
