Hounslow 100
I do like this race.
I don't even know what my 100mi PB is now. But I would bet I can't beat it and nor could I win the event and that's where one of the problems lie. Why would I enter a race that I know isn't going to be as good as I've done previously?
Why would I put myself through all that pain of training, the stress of competing, etc. all to go slower than I have done before and/or be beaten by 20 blokes - half of whom are physically faster and half that have just spent more time/money aero testing.

Here's my report:

I wasn't aware of anyone from the forum riding - did anyone face the timekeeper?
There was no one on fixed, which is (surprisingly) quite unusual for this event.

I don't think there's any doubt the time trial world is in a bad place - I could go on at length (and I may do so when I've more time).
However I'm posting on a slighly optimistic note to say that I've just got the start sheet for the Hounslow 100 and we've got 80 entrants, which I think is reasonably encouraging.
