The 10 was a bit dissappointing. The 25 was quite good, it was only a slightly slower average speed than the 10 mile TT. I think I finished 4th out of 85.
50 Mile TT Record - Michael Hutchinson.
A bit belated, but congratulations to Michael Hutchinson who set a new record for a 50 mile Time trial. 1.35.27. An average speed of 31.43 mph or over 50Kmph. That is a very fast time for 50 miles!
