I managed to spend a bit of time in the drops lately while pushing a bit harder... But still a long way to go. Not worth thinking about unless I can bend my back a bit more... I think I can get back up to a good power range (400+ watts) for the distance. Probably to a good weight 80-85kgs. All a bit pointless if I can't get aero

Haha... Even though I was about to succumb to a gastro infection two hours later he had to sit on my wheel for the last 15 km's and I was still dropping him. I payed him out as I am well known as the bus.
Anyway you know me by now sogood... I will only participate if I have a chance!.

Will be down to 36.5 before we clear gastro out of the house... I am on the mend, daughter is finally as well... Son just made me glad we don't have carpets in France... Luckily ( touch wood) my wife escaped to Thailand before she got it as well.

Then it will be time to think about power meter again... No way I would do a tt without one!

Was hoping to get the saddle further forward with a set back post facing forward. If it was a normal saddle I could probably get it to 5cm behind the bb but with the short saddle only get it to 6.5cm.
Do you take the measure of the front of extensions to the end of the extension itself or the end of the shifters?. I am at 80cm in front of the bb to the end of the extensions... legal as my elbow angle is good.
Adjustable stem works well but even cranked up tight it is a bit loose in the joint.Shouldn't be an issue... have the arm rests 30mm lower than road bike for now... will take it easy on my back for now!.
Need to get some Nokon derailleur cables as the angle from exit of extensions to frame guides is pretty severe for traditional cable.
Shopping list... 80mm front tubular, powertap 80mm rear, tt frame one day.
Legs are pretty toast but will give it a whirl today .
