Andover Wheelers Weekend

andover-wheelers

Yesterday, I rode a 10 mile TT on the fast p613 course near Andover. I set a new pb of 20.19, (average speed 29.5mph). It took 40 seconds off my pb, set in 2006, so I was pleased.To the turn I was averaging over 30mph, but, had to stop at the turn for a car, and then the return leg was a little harder. I don’t know what position I was, but, I saw quite a few riders inside 20 minutes, such as Richard Prebble.

It was certainly a fast course. The start is a little higher than the finish, and it is mostly smooth dual carriageway apart from the start and turn.

Next year, I really want to try and break the 30mph barrier.

Today, is the Andover Wheelers CC 25 mile Time trial, but, I will just be training for hill climbs.

    [...] The race is very different to the Andover Wheelers 10 on the P613 dual carriageway course. That attracts an oversubscribed field of 270. A hilly 10 in the middle of February, attracts a somewhat smaller entry, can’t think why…. Well, I did my fastest 10 mile time on that course in 2008 – Andover 10 [...]
