TIME TRIAL SEASON IS UPON US !
One would think that training for a Time Trial, would be simple, as it is one of cycling’s most basic competitions. However … It may be the simplest, but in many ways, the most complex.
Yes, it’s only about riding from point A, to point B, in the shortest possible time, but if one is intent on being the fastest, it’s more than just the pain of turning those pedals around, utterly exhausted. Looking at the …

It’s likely we will do some climbing and knee pads are always a good idea.

A very good friend sent me an email this morning, reminding me it was Eddy Merckx’s 80th birthday today. If you are at all interested in racing, Eddy should be at the top of any list of all time great riders.
“Fast Eddy” as we used to call him locally, or as he was known the world over, as “The Cannibal”, due to his ability to win almost everything, was a professional road and track cyclist, who is the most successful rider in the history of …

How to ride (or rather “race”) a time trial
Firstly … the truth, about the race of truth …
You are hurting from the second after you set off, all the way until you finish, as it’s impossible to do your best time, without paying that price. Therefore, they are not for the faint of heart, but this, if your ambition is to be the best you can. For most riders though, it can just be fun to say you rode 15kms in 30 minutes … not bad for most …

TT’s are known as the ‘Race of Truth’, but more often than not for those of us who rode them, “The Pain Game” Both are appropriate, even for the latter, unfortunately so.
The Race of Truth is just that. One rider, by themselves, no one to draft, a set distance and the object is to ride that course in the …
