My main Focus is racing 10 mile TTs (UK). So most of my training is fairly short, for example this year I have done 2 rides over 4 hours, my average longest ride per week is 2.5 hours. Through this training this year I have brought my FTP up from 300w-350w @ 80KG. Having just raced the national 10 …

Awesome ride! Mine’s nowhere near that long, but did complete an imperial century on just SSB2-MV. [image] Where did you ride OUTSIDE today? (2019 & 2020) Training Solo, self-supported century to close out SSB2-MV. Lots of stops and slowdowns for road crossings and trai…

The person handing out the number took my temp with a thermal camera. Went back to the car got set u…

Excellent that’s great to hear, the format couldn’t be better suited to a socially distanced event. Wonder if clubs will pick up on this as a way to do events next year.

There is a local club near Oxford that do TTs every week, I go to a lot of their TTs. They had a system where I got a number at the First TT I did after lockdown eased, then that was my number for the rest of the TTs. All the sign up and paying was done online.
