ICKNIELD RC '10' - Aylesbury - 4th September 2021

 1st Overall - National Age Record plus others - 19-23

Skinsuits, skin suits...can they make such a difference, well, apparently YES - especially according to that aerodynamicist wizz, Mr B....so I decided to splash out on an Endura skin suit (I won't mention the cost, but that's bloody cycling! 😳)...bit of a risk considering the performance of a skin suit is not generic, can be great on one person and average on another! Anyhow, I knew be a good test, on arguably one of the fastest '10' courses in the UK, the Tring by-pass...a tough course though to judge...needed above 30mph to break that 20 min barrier, and started off quite modest well below, but the 2nd half is pretty fast....managed to pick the pace right up and finished in 19-23, a new National Age record, and first overall in the race and first of course on vets Standard...even for what I considered a 'ragged' performance!
