    what was simon’s average? I must have missed that.

    Did my first ever TT on Wednesday night. Was only 8.75 miles though. Did a 24:09 which is much faster than I thought I would. Just need a carbon TT bike now 🙂

    Good luck for your’s Jon. Just start out absolutely flat out and try and hold on. I took a water bottle but if you’re trying hard enough then you won’t be able to drink anything from it. Had a spare tube/pump etc with me, no way I’m walking back if I have a flat 🙂

    Thanks for all the advice, it’s really appreciated. Sara mentioned she’d been talking to you Simon. It was her who got me onto this one. But I’ve had a really bad chest the last couple of weeks and not ridden much. It’s not my fault if I do badly. 😉

    Water bottles have an aerodynamic advantage I read somewhere recently (Cycling Weekly possibly). Not likely to make a big difference but it may help. I suspect empty is best!

    A water bottle breaks up the dirty air flow created by your legs and pedals.
