MAPPERLEY CC 10M TT - Newark Notts - 27th May 2017

14th Overall & 3rd on Standard
A fairly new dual carriageway from Newark to Loughborough, in theory a fast course, but not today! It was so windy there were diehard testers refusing to race....

However, same for everyone or is it?! All top 'normal' National level guys were above 20 mins, but rumour spread that someone had done an 18-30 - couldn't be, impossible in those conditions....but it was true, my first (and not last) encounter with Dan Bigham, the aero king! Amazing ride...

As for me....still struggling for what I expect on the new Trek....very frustrating....

SHEFFREC CC 10M TT - Hatfield Woodhouse - 13th May 2017

7th Overall / 2nd on Standard / 1st O50
Written retrospectively, cannot recall too much about this...and "my club" 25m, although racing for Langsett Cycles this season - still nothing special, the metamorphism is getting closer though!

For the record knocking out 318 watts for this (typically 330 for a 10m)...but watch this space!
