Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

Traffic makes such a difference, I think it's pointless. Any difference you get could be from a multitude of other variables.

Not wunderground.
Yeah I think you need the sub for mywindsock - but its like £20 for a year and it does pretty much automatic aerolab for you... The time estimations generally seem pretty good too.

Yeah, but if I know one day was much higher air density than another and I went slower than I can simply concur the weather was probably bad (assuming same power). I know it's not great but it's one thing I can eliminate. Same as racing on the H25/1 - it was soaking but I put out more power and went slower. Presumably more power came from stem drop, which makes no sense but whatever, and the fact I was slower was due to being a pussy (and taking wrong turn), but I'm curious to see air density as well to note if that was better or worse than any other race. If I can learn what it feels like than I can use it when doing post-race analysis.

How does that work? You submit fit/gpx files?

I just sync it with strava - it then pulls in my rides automatically.
Looks like you can upload gpx/tcx as well.

I don't upload most of my rides to Strava. I'll have a look to see if there's another way. Ta.
EDIT "Looks like you can upload gpx/tcx as well."

Yeah - I have found it quite interesting to model courses as well. Pick a course and play around with changes to CDA/CRR and power to see what combo you would need to do a certain time etc.

Sounds good, if it's sufficiently accurate you wouldn't need to ride TTs at all :)

If you're looking just for air density, then look for data from local airports. They're usually pretty accurate.

Otherwise, yeah, Wunderground, but if you look a few stations you'll see the difference in values. Maybe take the mean from say, half a dozen?

What's the reg on fairings?

Or people not looking where they are going.

What's the reg on fairings?

The regulation as enacted, or as administrated? No fairings of any kind, or don't take the piss. That front brake fairing is no worse than the speed fin on Trek SCs which Tarmac is adamant isn't a fairing :)

On the other hand, if the TriRig wasn't so much bigger than it needs to be, it probably wouldn't need a fairing :)

Lodge a complaint when he beats you and let us know :)

E2 events ECCA 100 and VTTA 50 (plus some midweek VTTA 10s) cancelled due to roadworks in local area, forcing traffic onto the A14 and A11.

Full gumph on TTF.

C'est la vie. What's to gumph about.

grrr, one day I'll get to ride this event, looks like it a no 100 year for me then, not riding Bentley for a 100 again!

Ah, that's what she was talking about.

I wondered why it was still open for entry on CTT.

Likewise, was looking forward to it.

Isn't the A100 the CR course(ish), Wales is always fun, B100, etc.

gumph = info

Yeah I’m gutted about this, I was planning on using it as prep for the Nat 12 and also, if I finished it I was pretty much guaranteed a club record.

oh, i figured it was moaning, which is what ttf does best.

No worries!! I hadn't entered, not in ECCA and no 100 time either, and my 50 best plus is awful.
