Ok Kevin, I'll do it for a toasted teacake.

Kevin, I have a BC road race the following day around a hilly circuit and have never done a TT in my life. Assuming I end up breathing through my ears for 35 mins or so on the Saturday, will a 40 something-year-old racing novice have anything left the next day? I realise I am the only one who should be able to answer this (and, if I do it, will have the data if there is a next time) but any wisdom from the more experienced is welcome.

A 13 mile TT shouldn't leave anything in the legs that a good nights sleep can't get rid of Richard. You wouldn't want to do a long ride with the intermediates or anything, that would leave a bit of residue.

I raced last Wednesday night on a tough little circuit, and felt fine for the Thursday night around Kirby Misperton.

If Kevin has requested you ride, you can't say no...those are the rules!!!

There will be a few of us doing the club 13 on the Saturday and then then the Ilkley 25 the following day; I did this stunt last year and beat my previous PB for the 25 by nearly two minutes. So if I can do it, a young lad like you should have no problem...

...that's why I've entered the 13; my first TT! Will be fun I'm sure (or that's what I keep telling myself anyway!).

And again I'm working- both the 7th and the 8th aaargh! If anyone wants to borrow my clip on aero bars for the weekend let me know. I used them on my Ribble to ride a 30 last week and they definitely make a difference
