Wigmore CC 25

[Ivor]

Woo! 1:10:32

I think that was 87th out of the 100 who finished.

Really really happy with that. (although a sub 1:10 would have felt even sweeter)
Felt really good, bit of a lull at the 17 mile mark where I think I was drifting off with the fairies... then a chap on a fixie powered by I and snapped out of it. Knew the finish was uphill and started winding it up towards the end, but thought it was further to go and didn't give it enough.

Also.... I thought Kent down near ashford was flat. Somewhat undulating course the Q25/8.

Well done Ivor, nice result to keep shipping away at the PB.

I was on that course a few weeks ago and am back there next week as counters for the SPOCO series, so it's counted as a sporting course too.

A bit of a drag out to the second turn, but that start is lovely isn't it .

Well done Ivor, that's not an easy course by any means. It takes a lot of concentration to judge your efforts to maximise the speed up and down those drags.

Well done Ivor - another go on the G25/53 and you'll crack that 1.10 mark no doubt. Congratulations and keep it up!!

Think I need to sort myself out some tri bars now though...

[Snoop Doug]

Have you got normal sized handlebars...? If so I've got a great set of Pro carbon ones - comfy & light. You can have a borrow - if you like 'em - mebbe you might buy 'em...?

Well done! Only 30 seconds to knock off. Pick yourself a nice flat fast course next time, eh

That's oversized, although most bars hve a bulge that size these days anyway so when does oversized becomes normal, and normal thin?
