May

... and the month started off with...a nice shortened course !

06.05.25 Wheelers 5TT  (4.06m) 9:02 

This was supposed to be a five with wild conditions which would see mostly headwind. Temporary traffic lights on the course which saw the organiser shift to a shortened course that took out the majority of the headwind - it was a fraction over four miles and I was strong enough to take the win and the series by 6 seconds.

17.05.25 West Pennine 10   20:55 

My very first go at the fast 10 course at Levens. It is one heck of a trek from Lincoln taking about 6.5hrs as a round trip - it was worth it though as even though it was a day where the wind was strong 14mph and blew down the course where I would say a light southerly would be most advantagious.  I applied the watts well and think there could be more to be fair - I really enjoyed that one !

20.05.25 Wheelers Ingham TT  22:08

Back on the Ingham and a course I don't think I've ever felt like I've mastered. All of last year I battled to try and get under 22:30 - this year and I'm trying to get into the 21's. I failed tonight, I was slow clipping in off the line and it was a cross - I'm hoping to have some better rides over the remainder of the summer.

25.05.25 Kettering CC 15   32:39

Sleep on the sofa, up at 3.30, drive down to Wellingborough, ride the only DC 15 course I could find this year, get wet,  get a 40 second PB, miss the club record by another 40 - at least I got halfway there, just hope for some more 15's next year.
