HARWORTH 'Club' 10M TT - Ranskill - 24th May 2016

2nd Overall
[April 2020: Liked doing the Harworth '10' (actually 9.3) because it was in the area of Ranskill and Mattersey where I regularly trained, and was initially organised by an early cycling pal, Matt Rodgers of the Harworth CC. Also it was a mid week informal 'club' TT - so no pressure and good try out anything new...from my notes it was a step forward:]

 Club Night - best yet this season, felt great - and top time with strong N wind, set off too fast but also a best 341 watts avg - new TT threshold of 325 - 2nd overall.

SHEFFREC 25M TT - Hatfield Woodhouse - 14th May 2016

9th Overall and 1st O50

[April 2020: Recall struggling to get up to speed this season. I had missed the whole of 2015, I was not sure about my bike set up, and messed around with seat height etc which more than likely did not help...eventually I had a bike fit which seemed to help, or give me that confidence, and this race was the first one where I felt at last, it was starting to pull together - for interest power was 317w - additionally I'm sure it was Pete Read (RIP) who suggested I was too 'skinny' for TT - so I was very happy to stay at my Winter weight, however a beer stomach for extra weight is surely not recommended - so I also started to lose weight (81.5kg on this race - was 84kg for first 4 races]

SHEFFREC CC 25M 2UP - Hatfield Woodhouse - 5th March 2016

5th Overall

Traditionally the first race of the season, a 2Up (2 racers 2 bikes) - returned from Mallorca raring to go, first race for a long time, due to missing the whole of 2015...."Smallboy" worked me quite hard especially in the latter stages, in cold, windy and damp conditions...we had a target of 5th or better and 55mins - we got one of them! Won club championship and Sheffrec won the first team on the day.

[April 2019: Never did a 2 Up again nor started the season this early....firstly simply because the start of March became the time I would fly out to Mallorca for a training block....and also cautious about injury...a 2up demands that the riders ride very close for aero and drafting benefits...an accident could happen!]
