BUCS 25 mile TT, 6 Apr 2025

This weekend marked my first ever 25-mile time trial, and I’m really happy with how it went! Despite a few delays at the start of the day, I was able to get going strong and settle into a rhythm quickly. I managed to stay close to my target power throughout, which felt like a solid effort for my first outing over this distance.

Racing on home roads definitely helped – I know the course and the area well, which made pacing and cornering that bit easier. The conditions threw in a few challenges, with some gusty crosswinds, but it was a valuable learning experience. Still plenty to figure out on the TT bike and about racing in general, but this has definitely given me the bug. Looking forward to the next one already.
