Am I quick enough for Time Trials.

^ That's a good way of doing things. I've got a couple of private Strava segment test loops that I use as TT training to gauge my fitness and dial in my position. Time trialling isn't exactly huge out my way, not like when I lived in Berkshire/Surrey. I used to ride local courses in training a lot as you learn how to best attack each course's profile.

A powermeter is certainly handy, but there's a lot to be said for being able to ride and pace well by feel.

I rode my local 10 without my Garmin a few weeks back. I was only about 15 seconds off my PB - which tells me that I'm, either A - pretty good at pacing, or B - so sh1t that I may as well leave the Garmin at home every week

Broke under 28min today with a good amount of wind (loop course, so not helpful). Also....this was without TT bars this time. Also without the more aero "team fit" kit. Just a club fit jersey that has a little "flap" to it.

Just sandbaggin it I guess.

I find the lunch time TT is a good way to kind of do an "over/under" interval workout. Over for a few minutes, barely under for a few minutes.

Did Jollygiant break 22 this year? Enquiring minds want to know...
