It's National Time!

This year I decided to ride all the National Time Trial distances, starting with the 10 mile on the 23rd May. Only 91st fastest entry could I manage to improve on my overall place of 68th last year? Not the fastest course (K33/10) at Salfords Priors in Warwickshire but should be a fine test for defending champion Michael Hutchinson (in gear) but last years silver Andy Tennant back again and Olympic medalists Steve Burke and Ed Clancy (all Motorpoint) also feature

Then the 25 mile promoted in Yorkshire on the 5th June - I managed to make it at 52nd fastest entry and never having ridden the Blue Ribband of the Time Trialling season before (rode the Junior version in 1979 won by Darryl Webster) should be a good event the Boroughbridge venue of some classic events in the past. With 219 entries for the 150 places and controversially Alex Dowsett (7th World Under 23 TT 2009) has had his entry returned after he had no qualifying time (after initially but ilegally being given a wild card entry by the CTT)

The 50 mile is the most local to the South Western RC in the South at Petersfield, it is a tried and tested fast course, starts at Hillbrow and does two laps between Buriton and the Bramshott on the A3. At the present time I'm the 7th fastest man in the field (how low can I go?) entries close on the 25th May and the SWRC hope to field a strong team
