Jeez!!!
I've got no chance against him now, then...
Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -
Beats Wiggins' record be a second.
I want to do a 10 on that course!! (But all the remaining events are when I'm away).
Anyone know of some other super-fast 10 courses in the North West?0 -

tBTW he course that Hutchinson rode this week was near Hull so NE.0 -
people shouldn't be allowed to ride on the a63 nevermind have organised events. its too busy/ important a road to have people cycling along completely oblivious to their surroundings."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

On what grounds do you say that - have there been accidents?0

there are accidents on it every year. due to it not having a hard shoulder and been the only proper road into hull the area grinds to a halt as soon as anything happens to slow traffic flow on it. add in that its the route probably 90% plus of freight traffic (into one of the countrys busiest ports) takes and to me it seems a ridiculous course to me"Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0 -

If you knew anything about TTing you'd know that events on that course are held when the traffic count is at it's lowest, i.e. in the evenings, early mornings.Expertly coached by http://www.vitessecyclecoaching.co.uk/

i do know that, i ride with a club who organise a lot of events on there. that road is very rarely not busy, certainly not at 7pm on weekdays. due to the tides its not necessarily rush hour that has the largest number of lorries on it."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0 -
nothing beats the feeling of being sucked along a DC by a load of HGV's!
I'm guessing thats why its so fast?0 -
Chris Boardman has gone faster.0

I doubt that course is any more dangerous than any other TT course. Our local course which is a SC with traffic island on it, is alot more dangerous in my eyes than any DC course I have ridden on.
Plus there is nothing illegal about riding on a DC even if you are not racing, unless there are signs up to say no cycle traffic.
You can have an accident in training more than likely on a country lane, with some nutter thinking he is in a rally. I have never felt in danger ridding on a DC course.0 -
How dangerous is TTing on dual carriageways - how many deaths/serious injuries have there been in TTing in the last decade and how many of them were on DCs vs non DCs?
Having ridden a few DCs this year it's true they seem less dangerous when you are riding on them than you'd think - even so I still feel more at risk on them than on your average non DC road. My perceptions aren't really that relevant though as there has been enough TTing on DCs for there to be some hard facts on accident rates.
it's a hard life if you don't weaken.0 -
Obsession with 'fast times' is crazy to me.
I wouldn't race on a road that I wouldn't train on - seemples!
Racing on the A1 - what a great idea :roll:0 -

Been a few on the R25/7 in my neck of the woods. Used to be the course that people would ride locally to chase a time before the Hirwaun ski slope started but I won't ever ride on it again.0 -
Didn't know about Obree. What was his time?
I believe Chris Boardman recorded a 17m 50s.0 -
Wiggins has the CTT record. Or did until Hutch broke it. Not sure how the other times fall into the mix?0
-
Boardmans' was a club event and so not eligible for competition record.0
