25 mile time trial pb!




I made it! A 25 mile tt, on my tt bike not the penny, in under an hour. 58 minutes and 51 seconds... This was one of my targets for the year. I still have a few left though, one of which is to climb a local hill in a hill climb time trial in under 3mins 30seconds.. My bike of choice for this event is to be my new fixed gear bike. I plan on testing gearing, and my legs, this week. Here's a picture of my hill climb weapon, although not yet geared down for the 17% climb of Ankerdine.


The other pic is of my time trial bike that I used for the 25 mile tt..

Photos are , Dave Walker roller racing and Martins time trial tandem
A free cycle event a Worcester! I was on the St Johns cycle club stand for most of the day. There was lots for people to do and see including a mountain bike trials display team, which was awesome!
I rode the penny down and went out on the guided ride, about 10miles through the lanes. All good fun. I met up with Chris Ford from cycle active, the company who I did coast to coast with. Cycle active had a mountain bike skills area to teach kids about bike control. They do loads of mountain bike trips, and a few road ones so if you're after a holiday check out the web site... I've been on a couple of mountain bike holidays with them in the past and had a really good time..http://www.cycleactive.co.uk/
