I thought i'd try to participate in the last few local club 10mile TT's this season, last week was the first one i'd done for 19 years, lol. I was pleased just to get a sub 30min time tbh ! (28.46), though conditions were quite good ie, dry, 6-8mph return h/wind, straight but gently hilly course etc.
Tomorrow is the same circuit but the wind is forecast to be 26mph (SW) giving me the full 26mph headwind return 5 miles ! Do people actually go out if it's this windy ? I tend to think maybe 14-16mph headwind is starting to get difficult (or maybe i'm just rubbish, lol)
With my gearing (& ability) i can't imagine keeping up a high enough outward bound av. speed to compensate for the slog home.
