  • For non cyclists a time trial is where people ride a very expensive racing bike around a usually circular/elliptical track of known distance as fast as they can. not the sort of thing that appeals to me as you don’t see any scenery; and there is a bit of snobbery over having the best equipment and a lot of posing/testosterone

    anyway these Yanks in a bike shop have picked up an el cheapo mountain bike and (after swapping some of the components) are going to enter it in the state time trial 🙂

    quality. have you seen a keiran race, gl? i used to go to herne hill race meet once a year, and they had one there. basically this fatman on a moed sets the pace for a set number of laps, gradually increasing speed so its quite tech for the cyclists, and they get nackered. after some stupid ammount of steadily increasing cycling, they get to race the last few laps. looks so funny all these shaved sleek cycling divas following this beerbellied geezer kicking out petrol fumes in their moisurised faces.

    if you ever get a chance ( i know youve moved away now) got to herne hill meet. really good day out, and the bike stands are amazing (i tried a recumbant of rthe first time there, they are sooo efficient, if cars stood a chance of seeing you then they would be perfect for touring. also slightly crap turning circle, but who needs that on a road tour?”).
