Thought I'd share a bit of Clydesdale success...

Just competed in the New Zealand Club National Championships for the first time.

Took on the TT race.

Been training for it for a full year and my goal was to break 40km/hr for the race. But this was something I hadn't done ever in any of the lead up events - so I was getting worried that it would never happen.

But surprise surprise - in the event - I got the bike rolling and was able to stay there.

Finished the 25km event with an average of 41.5km/hr and in 6th place.

Very very happy with that. Especially when I'm was on my road bike with clip on aerobars - and all those ahead (and most behind me) were on sexy looking TT bikes.

Trying to figure how I can afford a custom Zinn TT bike now...

Yee haa!!

Impressive - that's a very fast speed to maintain over that distance! Congrats!

You are fast.

How far back were you? - Nevermind....

So do you think you'll make him (the winner) nervous if you had an actual TT bike?

And here's a few pics of lead up and a couple at the event. Didn't get one of me on the course unfortunately.

Adrian.

You;'re a big dude. The wheels on your bike look like 650cc TT wheels... LOL!

Nice job!!

Wow, that is just fantastic.

Get rid of your car ....

Holy cow!!!! 15.5 miles at 25 MPH. That is impressive!!!!! Great job.

I can only manage about 21 MPH over 3 miles (33.8 KPH over 4.8 km)

That is wicked awesome - truly fast.

Here's the results... https://www.bikenz.org.nz/Resource.aspx?ID=6894

I don't know how much difference the TT bike would make. Hopefully a lot...

Don't think I'll be troubling the winners just yet - but it's a work in progress...
