Tell us about your weekend ride

I'm really pleased to hear this. Congratulations!

Not warming up before a 100 isn't quite the disadvantage it might be for a 10, but having ridden another 100 the week before would not be ideal preparation in most peoples' books, so I think there's more to come in the future.

But , just for now - take it easy for a week or so.

Yeah, I know places I can improve. I can output more power for starters but I was really concentrating on my position today so my power was lower in the first three hours until boom time in the final hour. I always prefer to have a short spin before any race, even the long ones, so racing to the start line at VO2 interval pace wasn't so hot. I also didn't have time to inflate tyres and I'm still running a massive 27mm rear tyre. Anyway, it's all much of a muchness as I'm concentrating on the longer stuff now.. hence the 5hr ride home from the TT. Further 100 improvements can wait until next year, maybe.
