Quote from: rob on 14 June, 2017, 01:08:12 pmComp record is a bit over 3:20 (https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/articles/view/129). Richard Bideau rode the first ever sub 3:20 as you mention but it was subsequently struck off as the course was found to be short. (Don't bring this up near Karla as he's still upset about it). There's a fair chance the record will be back on the right side of 3:18:54 after this Sunday, as Adam Duggleby is riding the fast ECCA event and the weather forecast for Cambridge says warm with 5 mph wind. Richard Bideau is also riding but as top seed he's off last, so there's a fair chance he'll re-break his own record but arrive to find it's been updated a few minutes beforehand.

Richard dropped out of the 12hr last weekend around 7hrs so was probably saving himself. I'm sort of regretting not entering but then I try to ride up a hill and can still feel the ache in my legs.

Just had a look at the ECCA course. Yes, I can see why that might be faster than the KCA course!
