I just did a 10 in the local Severn Road Club weekly time trial. We used an alternative course due to roadworks with many turns and give ways, but it was a measured 10. With a time of 18'09" I was fastest by some margin.  That showed them. I don't expect they'll let me make a habit of it. |

Nice going Howard Just out of curiosity; did you do this in your Shark Attack machine? (must have been head turner on the road) cause that is one serious avarage speed if on a DF (by my standards any how)
Take care,
Barry

Yes Barry, I was in the Great White. My normal PB is 24'21". I have been politely informed that recumbents are not allowed in club or open events. It was always going to be a one off anyway. I think I was caught on camera phone about a dozen times in 4 miles to and from the start. |

Thanks for that Howard.
I wonder if you were caught by any speed cameras on route too ;-)
Pretty sad that they won't allow recumbents to join in, all sounds a bit UCI, you think they would be happy to let people wanting to try their luck on a funny bike have a go.
I did my first ever time trial on Wednesday evening at Hillingdon; with the Westerly Cycle Club and they seem very happy to have Recumbents there. it was just like a BHPC race but with more of those strange upright contrivances.
Take care,
Barry ;-)

In their defence, CTT West have spoken for the inclusion of recumbents. But officially they are not allowed in CTT sanctioned events and therefore taking a strict line they are disallowed. |

Maybe the future will be a little more Laid Back; in both senses ;-)
Take care,
Barry ;-)
