Time trial

I took part in my first time trial today - a 25 mile timed event where you are seeing how fast you can complete it.  It doesn't matter what the other cyclists are doing as it's all about your peronal time.  Mine was 1hr 27 min with an average speed of 28.2 kph - that's a 10% increase on my best ever speed so the Lanza training has paid off.  I'll repeat this TT during the summer to have something to compare against.
Talking of summer how beautiful is the weather.  I might have to clean the BBQ from last year!

  1. Well done Derek. Wish I could have a few days holiday and come back fitter and faster - I always seemer to be a few pounds heavier and definitely slower! Hope Neil's training is continuing to go from strength to strength.
    Hope to see you next time you are in London.
    Regards

  2. Just checked with Neil's coach Maz and he is doing really well. I am delivering a bike to him in the next week and he has a pal that wants to go out with him so it will be interesting to see how he gets on. He's keeping up the running or walk / jogging which isn't easy but he's doing it. I'll definately let you know when I am next in town so we can get together.
