I'm thinking of riding our club 25 TT next weekend. I've ridden 10s before and am just about learning the technique there. Can anyone advise how to pace the 25? Should I aim for a certain % of my MHR or of my usual 10 mile TT speed or something else?

    Thanks Mark. My 10 PB is just about 60 seconds slower than yours in your signature, so it was really helpful to see your spread of PBs, and I shall now aim for the hour. Will be chuffed if I make it, though.

    Yes, just below your 10 pace - good going if you can break the hour for your first 25.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
