Stratford CC 10.4 miile solo time trial


Today was a 10.4 time trial with stratford cc and it was a road bike one and this was made my arms hurt when I finished (because of resting them over the handle bars). Today's time was 27'32 (56 seconds slower than my TT bike). Today I got up to a junction and got held up by a tractor and had to over take it and if that had not happen i might have been a bit quicker, today i got a nice tail wind (unlike yesterday) and with that behind me i was doing 28 or 29 mph. My average speed for today was 23 mph. but all in all i would say it was a hard day.

Banbury Star CC, 13 Mile solo time trial


Sorry blurry picture, I must have been going too fast! today was a hard day it seemed that it was a head wind or a cross wind but i still knocked 2 seconds of my previous personal best and i would say is good because some people where slower today. When I started I over took 2 people number 19 and 18 (I was number 20), but i got over taken buy number 21, but I would say that today was a good day in the sadle.

Banbury Star CC, 13 Mile solo time trial


Today was my best time yet again out on this course. My time today was 32:57 just under 33 mins and I felt sick once I had finished but quickly felt better. Today was not too bad, for the first 3 miles there was a tail wind and that helped and so I tried to keep my average speed of 23 mph, but on the way back there was a mile and a half of fresh road chippings (that was hard going) and a head wind so it was not much fun on the way back but I still tried. So all in all I would say I did a very good time today. Also I overtook (I was number 13, unlucky for some) numbers 12, 11, 8, and 6.

raced today at tudor grange park


Today I came 4th out of 6th but at least I give it a go. I was number 47 and today it was very windy and felt like all the way round there was a head wind but at least there was just one race to do. As we started I stayed with the main group for about a lap then got droped and had to fight that head wind by my self then I got laped twice by the people who came 2nd and 3rd but the person who won laped me 3 times, however as he came past me I got behind him and stayed there to the line and he won but i did lap some one twice.

Stratford CC 7.1 miile solo time trial


The time trial today should have been 10 miles but because of roadworks at the start of the course it was shortened to 7.1 miles. It was very cold, very windy and 3 to 4 miles in it started raining as well. However I felt I had a good day putting in a time of 17.50 after have done yesterdays time trial.

Banbury Star CC 10 mile solo


Today was the first 10 mile time trial with Banbury Star. It was a hilly one but I managed to beat my Dad. My time was 27:08 which was 57 seconds faster than him. It was a cross wind from the left going out for about 5 miles and coming back a cross wind from the right for the last 5 miles but at least it stayed dry. No-one overtook me however I did overtake three people.

Stratford cc 10.4 solo time trial

sorry I was late on posting this, this was for thursday 30th of April

Today I did a time trial with the Stratford CC (to which I am second claim). It was a 10.4 mile fairly flat course. I felt I did a very good time of 26:56 as this was my second in two days. It was raining as we were driving there but fortunately it stopped about 20 mins before the start and that gave me time to warm up. I caught both my 1 min and 2 min men on the first lap, during the second lap I overtook no. 22 (I was no. 9).
