I forgot just how hard a Time Trial was!!

May 21, 2015 by Paul Carvill Leave a Comment

I decided to have a go at the Barton Wheelers CC club 10 after a disappointing first show the previous week on the club 15! I had put that poor performance down to not having been on my time trial bike in nearly three years!

The Rapha 500 Challenge (500km between the 24th & 31st December 2014) has been around since 2010 and this year seemed to have me obsessed with completing! The weather seemed intent on saying otherwise with what seemed like a continual procession of icy  mornings! This seemed to spur me on even more and I found myself studying … [Read more…]
