Strava

I thought I'd try and set a decent time for the half 10 back from Holmes Chapel.
I already have the best time for the full 10 which finishes at the Co Op in Scholar Green. It seems quite a few 'Mancs' like this short segment  so it is nice to set the record straight for the Staffs and Cheshire lads.
The temporary traffic lights just over the railway bridge at the start did not help with a fast start but probably helps with the classic TT rule of 'never go off too hard'!
I was able to settle in a diesel gear of 52/11 and cadence around the 80 mark.
If someone does beat the time, I may use the other bike with a 53 chainring as it will be only a matter of seconds unless someone hits it with a full TT rig.
I also suspect that some of the quicker times were done 2 or 3 up, but that is just my suspicious nature.
