I had a go at a 10-mile practice thing on Tempelhof airfield today. It's pretty handy as there is a 5,975m-long loop that is marked out every 500m, so you get a good idea of where you are.
I made it a private Strava segment and apparently did it in 26:54, with a 52:16 gear ratio and a strong SW wind that made it pretty hard going. I think that does mean I'm ready to give a real TT a go, I was thinking I'd be pleased with anything under 30 minutes so this is quite promising.
