April - We're back !

 The winter of solely bike training has paid off and 2017 Andy has re-appeared....

29.03.25 Coalville Whls 10TT 24:21
The first of the season - the new position is fab, I seem to have a few more watts, and have matured (mostly) with course management. This was as tough as it usually is with the wind entirely in the wrong direction ! Felt out the watts to know where I roughly am over 20 mnutes
01.04.25 Wheelers Road Bike 5 - 12:16
Great first club outing and club win.  One of only a few riders to be faster than the opening weekend last year which tells you what you need to know about the conditions ! 
05.04.25 Kings Lynn 25  - 58:20
The fastest I've been in four outings on this course - brutal cross wind both ways, and likely the only 25 I'll ride this year. At halfway I thought it was slow, but managed a good controlled return leg for a course best.
08.04.25 Wheelers Road Bike 5 12:04
The form continued with a course PB on my second outing on the course !
12.04.25 Melton Olympic 10TT  21:02
The quickest ten I'd ridden since 2018. This one I got wrong though as knew the first 5 miles were wind assisted but I still went too hard to the turn and then suffered on the way back - good indicator that I've got a 20 in me this year...
15.04.25 Wheelers Road Bike 5 12:12
Finished off the three race series with another win and the trophy for the competition overall which was a great start to the season long competition. I have to keep doing well in these as it is my number one focus for this year.
18.04.25 City RC Hull (trike)  27:05
Oh dear - this was the silver trike back on the road, and with this course being so poor, and my handling being ropey, this was an exercise of getting home safely.
22.04.25 Wheelers 5TT  11:05
5 mile TT bike - I'm not a fan of 5 milers but I seem to have done well all year so far over that distance - this was a win on the night but not the 10 something that I craved.
26.04.25 VTTA EMids 10  20:45
.... and there it is - this time I got the pacing right and managed the quickest time since 2017 - it was a great day and so chuffed to have a 20 again.
29.04.25 Wheelers 5TT  10:48
A 10 was received on a stunningly fast 5 course tonight - 4 riders under 11 mins of which I was second behind our fastest road racer on a road bike !  10:48 though - that's a course PB for me and it's still April.
