2022 races

Today I thought it was a good idea to do Matlock Bank Road Hill climb on my tricycle.

It was the unofficial , unsanctioned, annual trike champs , and I won it by a second.

Pushing 44-25 up there was no fun. Cadence averaged 41, with a spell of just 10.

That looks like one fast tricycle :rocket:

What’s it like cornering? I guess you can’t lean??

It’s ok on left hand turns , but roundabouts are difficult. It’s a 1960,s steel framed Higgins with chinese wheels. I’ve done a mid 22:05 10 mile TT on it so quick if I can get it in a straight line !

Now I’m really curious… Why ok on left hand turns , but by implication not on right hand turns ?? :thinking:

Not sure, it might just be the way I’m wired :fearful:

56/44 on the front for TTing , 11-25 on the rear.

Tried to put a 39 inner ring on the front this morning but rounded one of the bolts and ran out of time :face_with_peeking_eye:

12 hours this week!

I worked 77 hours this week, which is more than the previous 6 combined !

So quite proud to keep training through the tiredness that comes with working at night.

Mostly bike tri wise, lots of core and circuits.

Stick at it folks

Whilst going around a right hand corner if I remember the hill rightly - although not much of one, so I guess not a problem?

Good job you won, otherwise that gear screw-up would’ve cost you it!

So much for taking it easy! :joy:

Looks a fair bit slower on the second half of the loop.

Jeff’s 103 miles through the bike total race time of 6:43

Going nicely, come on Jeff!

First thing I’ve looked for as I’ve woke up :speedboat:

Could current account for 15 minutes? Or short?
Or was he just sandbagging and he’s been following the swimming thread intently :thinking:
