What distance was it?

for a 10 miler seems like a cracking time for a first outing!!! =D

(not that im a TT expert.. I struggle with Dartford to Greenwich in 35 mins which is 10 miles!!)

I know the course you mean. There have been a few posts recently (last couple of weeks) from others who have had a go at this course. I'm tempted to have a go but need to get a bit fitter so that I don't pi$$ myself off with a slow time.

I'd have been delighted with your time for a first outing. What was the weather like?

hard head wind when u go up the final 4mile straight lol, i was doing like 21mph into head wind but i was making uptime when i had a tail wind i was doing 27-28mph all the way lol some parts i hit 35mph was really gd for my first TT though defiently doing it again next week:) you should come down and do it lol

Chapeau!

I reckon that's a damn fine first effort in that wind. I did the Petts on Tuesday as this would be my last opportunity for what looks like a couple of weeks. (I had a chunk cut out of my foot on Wednesday).

All being well, I will back at the Tarleton course in early August if not the end of July.

P.S. Get some cleats.
