frustratingly clocked 1h00m35s
As any experienced tester knows, 35s is an eternity. 1:0:03 is frustrating, 1:0:35 is down to you not being good enough 🙂
Back in the olden days one of our club members did a 1:0:xx at least once a year for several years before finally getting under for the first time.

hah, thanks for the confidence boost tester :). I was a little reserved heading down the sliproad and a bit slow getting on to four went ways RB - dropped to 14 mph waiting for a car. I couldnt handle the tailwind out, at times the revs went up to 130-140 and i couldnt stay on the aero bars - too low and short. It felt like i was trying to do the plank the whole way round which distracted me a little from what my legs were doing. I think i have a new appreciation of the difficulty - not that i underestimated it. Grey Turnocks advice was along the lines of i use a freewheel- he set a 54 something. I kind of see the E2 as everest - tourists, where as the MG event is more like K2, slightly more nutty, bit of a killer etc
