Did a 25 mile TT at the weekend in Cumbria, good ride I thought until I saw the winners time of 50:49 and that I didn't even make the top 20 with my 58:20.. More to my amazement was the size of the chainring on the bike owned by the chap next to us in the car park. Basically if he cornered too far right his chain would hit the ground, must have been 65-70 teeth!! Interesting that a similar chain ring was chosen by last year's British Best All Rounder competition, Lance's high cadence obviously not the only option for success.
Pure moment of comedy a few weeks back when riding up a steep hill somewhere near Blackburn with a friend, as we passed some old bloke in a flat cap, smoking a cigarette he looked in disgust at the small chain ring I had chosen and shouted..
"Sit thee doon and put it in'th big chonker.."
We laughed so hard we nearly fell off our bikes..
