Open TTs
in Time Trial
I did a few mid week TTs last year and really enjoyed them and during the summer it was great to see my times improve. I have done 2 Open TTs before I joined the club under a previous Tri club.
Are there any particular Open TTs that folks enter? There seems to be so many when I check out the TT website.

For now I am in on the following which are all within 30mins of home.
Hitchin Nomads F14/25 next weekend
Hemel Hempstead F11/10 near Tring on 18 June
Shaftesbury MM E2/25 which is on 4 June
Finally Beds Road F15/10 Brogborough on 31 May
Don't forget the interclub series as well the 15 is mid June
Enjoy the planning:)
Is it me, or is the booking system for the inter-club really complicated?
So far, we've both entered:
5th June Ely & District C.C. 10miles – B10/1R
25th June 25 miles - E2/25
Look out for an announcement from JMac or keep checking the BRRC site.
We've also entered the Letchworth crit, but not sure my fitness will be back by then.
Talking of opens, Justin follows my good friend Robert Golding off next week on the same course. Be good for the blue top to flash past him coz I've never managed it!!!! GO JUSTIN!!
Occasionally organisers will run events on these courses specifically for riders "slower than" a particular time.

Entry closes 24th May.
Chris, the lanes are actually very wide, so it's not as scary as you may think. I always calm down when I've been on the main carriageway over a minute as you know by then motorists are already aware there are cyclists on the road by the time they reach you.
team swift (counts out Cam then) (slower than 21.30 but faster than 24.00 lts)( 90 riders)
Starts at 7:00pm so I am going to take a half day and drive up in the afternoon if my entry gets accepted....
its a bucket list kinda ting
I asked Boris Onishchenko about this, he says, "If they smooth the airflow enough to compensate for the increase in area they could possibly decrease drag, but without a wind tunnel and testing them over your shoes on your bike at various yaws you won't have any idea if they decrease or increase drag. You would do better to gaffa tape over any rough edges on your shoes and remove your socks and squeeze your feet into a size smaller shoe."
Yep officially lost it
Not sure how many ACC riders were out yesterday on the Hitchin Nomads Open TT but I thought they would like access to the photos I grabbed:

How did you fare?
Glad to hear of some excellent CCA performances yesterday.
Ashwell CC was second in the team event (sorry I was 2 mins too slow to support Tom & Chris)
Janet & I got 2 & 3rd improves. Which I'm personally very pleased with considering my recent & not so recent health issues.
Struggled at today's 10m in Ely.
