Hi Scarlett, and others
The Navestock course isn't a very fast course, I think my best time last year was 23.31. So, you won't get an amazing 10 time, but it is a good fun way to get used to TTing and riding at your threshold without the distraction of huge lorries wooshing past you at 60mph.
If you want a fast 10 course that isn't too far from London, with evening club events that you can EOL, try the F20/10. It's an out and back course on a dual carriageway near Hertford, and there are evening 10s run there during the summer, on a Wednesday AFAIK. Last year, I did 20.00 on the F20.... damn, if only it had been 1sec faster I could have claimed a 19min 10.
The E2/10, near Newmarket is also a fast course, bit further to travel to obviously. If you're a member of a club that is part of the Eastern Counties Cycling Association (ECCA - http://www.questronics.supanet.com/), you can get in to the ECCA events that are run regularly on this course. It's also an out and back course on a dual carriageway, my best time on it last year was 20.43.
One of my aims this year is a 19min 10....
