Did my first TT in forever last week. Only ridden fixed since I was a nipper so stuck with that but just increased the ratio as the course is fairly flat.
I was happy with my time but my heart rate was maxed for the whole ride bar the first five minutes as I try and ease into things. To be honest it was pure hell :-)
My cadence averaged 92 whereas when I ride normally I ride between 95 and 100.
Can anyone share any insight as to whether they think I should be gearing up more and lowering my cadence or gearing down and shooting for 105 to 110rpm?
