1st time TT

cobby1970

I,ve just recently started roadbiking mainly to commute, but have been talking to another newbie roadie who I work with and we both fancy a go a doing a TT
my question is how do we tackle the 1st one?
only looking to try a 10 miler which in itself I can breeze the distance but if i'm going to do it I want to put in a respectable time , do you just get your head down and go

Do you just get your head down and go?

Yeah.

You'll work out how to do it the more TTs you do. Best way to learn. Stops you worrying about too much.

My first TT everyone warned me about blowing up so much I finished energy to spare. Really not cool.

Yep. Just ride your bike as hard as you can for 10 miles.

A recent thread.

That's me

But which would be worse finishing with energy to spare or blowing up with 2 miles to go?

Leave your car 2 mile from the finish line then once you fail you can slope off unnoticed

I think they would notice the bright orange van though
