how the hell do you remember 35-year-old PBs?!
How can you not remember a PB?
My own PB 25 was done in 1987 - a mere 33 years ago. If I'm spared for another couple of years I'll let you know if I can still remember it.
I know someone (not Tester's Dad BTW) who has his whole TT career (fifties to nineties) recorded in handwritten diaries. This amounts to about 800 rides, and the danger is that allowed half a chance he will give you a pedal stroke by pedal stroke account of every one of them.

Obviously not my dad, as his runs 40s to teens, and if they let us race, the 20s 🙂 Despite the common break for National Service/career progression/raising a family, he has actually done 50 consecutive seasons since restarting.

Some are more memorable than others. As described, the 25 stands out in the memory. The 10 I know what time I did, but it was just one of several very similar rides on the same course and the different memories of those tend to get conflated - was it the one my brother promoted, the one where the comp record was broken, the one where I knew at the end of the entry slip after less than a minute that I was on a ride? The 50 I have to look up to even see what time it was (and it was nothing special) and I don't recall any particular moment - I've covered some parts of the A31 at least 80 times this century, so they definitely tend to merge in to one recurring nightmare.
