Anyone wear DHB jerseys?
how do they fit and which ones did you go for?
looking for a couple of cheap jerseys for the work ride as I'm getting a bit sweaty in the sun and can't wear the same one all week anymore :(
was looking at this but looks a bit baggy?

I'm not after castelli fit stuff and it needs to fit over what's left of my belly but I don't want it all flappy everywhere!
 
Done my second TT in two nights. 26:30 last night and 28:22 tonight on a more difficult course. Only a couple of weeks left in the season so trying to get a few more in.
 
I use copper slip when putting different metals together; e.g. Aluminium bb in titanium frame as it stops galvanic corrosion. If its not different metals together then I use bearing grease.

Nice times, I'm really annoyed as the TT I was expecting to do tomorrow has been cancelled! Roadworks on the main road in and out! :(
 
Had to collect my car today so had to get to garage before it shut - Nearly 12miles at 20mph+ average in 4pm traffic scross motorway island and through town! + I had a rucksack on back with all my spare stuff in and mudguards and lock on bike! :)

Then i went for a sports massage - first one on my legs ever! And my god did it hurt!!!!!!!! Not masochistic but told her to keep going and do it properly as i'd just suck it up. :)

No pain, no gain.

Gutted. When does yours end? There's only two more of ours and I'm helping out at the next one. Hopefully beat my PB at the season finale

A guy I ride with has just started doing TTs. He managed under 24 minutes the other day. Not bad considering he's 46 or something...
 
Yep, standard distances are: 10, 25, 50, 100
They will be held on roads with as few traffic lights/junctions as possible, but the roads are not closed.

Thought so. I did manage a sub 30min 10miles on open roads with junctions but I'd love to do a proper timed/closed road race.

The other day I did 10 miles in about 31 minutes, with junctions, albeit with a fair bit of downhill. That was pressing about as hard as I could go.

I know of a stretch of about 10 miles with no interruptions, which would be ideal for this, if it weren't for the 600+ feet of climbing up to the middle! You might make up the difference, though, as it descends about the same amount to the end of the stretch, but even so.
