[QUOTE]Effectively, the last standard distance open TT of the season is my club's 25 on October 25th
Is that course relatively near London? I'm in Highbury[/QUOTE]
No, it's in Sussex, so the wrong side too. On the other hand, there is a separate race for people without derailleurs (fixed, singlespeed and Sturmey-Archer), and there may be prizes for fixed. The course is vaguely sporting, but nothing too serious; rolling, rather than hilly. I've done it on 85" fixed with no trouble, and Ray Hughes did a 59 on 72" a couple of years ago. If anybody is interested, I'll ask Robin about fixed prize details and post them here.
