It's a bit embarrassing, but yes, I do. I had great intentions in 2010, was in decent shape, and thought why not... shortish, flattish tt's would be fun and totally up my alley. Plus I thought TT bikes were just so sexy and I needed a good project of my own to keep me busy. It mostly is/was used by a local Cat 1 guy who just loves it. He calls it White Lightning, is in his mid 20's and just got married so could never afford one of his own. I should probably sell it.

Post us a picture, Cal! I know we both ride a size 60 Emonda, but I'm curious to know what size TT bike you ride.

Yes Nate, but at least you look really fast on your way to the coffee shop. :)

@Noregard: I'll post up a picture next time I'm in a pic happy mood. It's a 2010 Cervelo P3, size 58, before they started changing the geometries again.

I never intend to join any organised bike race. I asked a triathlete friend how it feels like cruising along on the aerobars and he says it is real nice. So I got a Chinese one that's cheap enough for the wife to say yes (I blinged it up with di2 and 90mm/disc wheels though). It is sexy and feels nice rolling along on the flats. So, why not.

So, in the UK today, the British National Competition Record for a 10mile Time Trial (16km) was smashed. Twice.

Existing record was 17:20 by Alex Dowsett of Movistar.

James Gullen of Pedal Heaven did 17:09.

Then Marcin Bialoblocki of ONE Pro Cyling obliterated it with 16:35!!

36.18mph avg
Or 58.22kmh
Off 450w!!

Incredible.

You know what's impressive? 19:28 off 284w. :D

Nicely done on your PB BTW. I still think the P2 was faster!

Are there rules concerning the 10 mile TT, regarding tailwind for example?

Indeed, great time. Congratulations. You must be over the moon!

Thank you also. I'm pretty happy given I had a pretty poor day in terms of power. 10 days off the bike in Italy, drinking and eating really didn't help! Saw me around 20w down on what I'd usually do for a 10.

The P2 may have been faster, but I'm happy with the Speedmax.
I'm making a few position changes and off to see Xav in a few weeks so hopefully that will net some gains too.

I'm now also getting coached by Matt Bottrill/Dan Barnett with a focus on TT specifically rather than as a side to road racing.
