Solidly impressed, Annie

Thats about a 32km average I think, and in our local club you would be Vet 2 and a serious contender in a TT.

TT is what I aspire to do, and like you, don't think criterion is for me - or the surge and sprint of a pack race. I'm aiming to be able to do at least a 34 km average over a 25km course and will enter my first TT race later in the year.

I like the challenge of beating my own times, and the challenge of doing it on my own without the support of others to cut a line in the air for me. Thanks for posting, I really appreciated reading your experience.
