The cross races etc will be getting her better and quicker. No doubt about it.<br /><br />@ Trio: I'm so not naturally athletic in any way, shape or form. Granted I have lost some weight but I think my only real help was having to take it easy since the fracture. Not really pushed myself hard yet this year. Real test for me will be the track champs in December.<br /><br />I want to give time-trialling a shot next year too. Though I doubt I'll be fast.Lost Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246425421451507874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-30528319065050639802009-10-09T16:38:08.998+01:002009-10-09T16:38:08.998+01:002mph!

That would take me years of training, oh the fun of not being naturally athletic!<br /><br />My speeds are slower as I find commuting slower, but I'd be happy with 13.9mph on any ride.<br /><br />No idea if I am faster on road as didn't do anything this year to compare, will do at least a couple of timetrials next year so I can tell! I am faster off-road though when I compare my times to the fast people.triohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136331702567336557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-86890111194189647052009-10-08T12:08:04.203+01:002009-10-08T12:08:04.203+01:00I'm pretty certain Trio is now quicker than me...I'm pretty certain Trio is now quicker than me.

I've never thought you were slower than me. Are you???!!! I thought you were getting quicker? All the commuting not helping your speeds?<br /><br />@ Buttsy: Pretty sure I picked up a passing train to be honest. I'm lucky if I can hit 35mph on a sprint, 40mph on a descent. The chance of 70+...so not possible!<br />I'm used to the roundabouts now, although there are some that I try to avoid. Oh the joys of living halfay between a huge city and big town: can't always avoid them.Lost Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246425421451507874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-35344789364847328352009-10-08T03:17:25.394+01:002009-10-08T03:17:25.394+01:0071mph - scary.......but roundabouts can be scarier...71mph - scary.......but roundabouts can be scarier!...Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800437606008658030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-61791387504768173782009-10-07T17:50:31.282+01:002009-10-07T17:50:31.282+01:00Your slow speeds are what my faster ones are!!!Your slow speeds are what my faster ones are!!!triohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136331702567336557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-83280697916896063062009-10-07T15:45:03.617+01:002009-10-07T15:45:03.617+01:00I still don't get this fasination with Devils ...I still don't get this fasination with Devils hill.
