Fair play to you Hippy. Looks like you had a really good team too. How come you opted for 25's? Was it a durability thing?
You've got to be happy with the distance covered, will you have another go at it?

My arms are still bruised from the aerobars.
In training I was using Rubino Pro 23s and anything from 30mm 32h standardish wheels to 404s and 808s carbon wheels. Hitting potholes on aerobars were one of the worst things about these rides! Major annoyance factor! So, going for 25s was mostly about comfort for me. There is also the fact that rolling resistance is less for the larger tyres and since speeds are lower, the worse aerodynamics when using fatter rubber is less important. Durability not so much - I was using old, shredded Rubinos for most of my training as I'm too lazy to swap tyres until they're really dead. :)

Yes I will do another. I still have to break the club record.
