Interesting views regards the drinking and smoking, of my improvement over the week I gave myself about 30 or 40 seconds by having coughed up Friday's fags in the Monday and got properly rehydrated. I read somewhere being a bit dehydrated can loose you something crazy like 20% potential. I was still coughing and wheezing after last night but no where near as bad as Monday.
Yes of course, riding on a hangover is not wise, but what I mean is that in the grand scheme, given there are 7 days you could be training, 1 day where you drink 8 pints and smoke a few fags isn't going to hurt you too much. I tend to drink around that one night a week and little else whatleytom said:
There's an excel sheet of ctt events on the TT forum.

Just filter by course and then you can see the dates.
This is just a hundred and one events across the land, how do I filter as I can't find any dates for the H10/8 course https://sites.google.com/site/xavierdisley/ctteven...

Did my first 2015 TT last night, a 10, and managed 9 seconds slower than last years PB at 25:30. I had hoped to beat it, so I am not convinced it's a great time. Additionally, it seems a couple of riders on completely standard road bikes made up some serious time on me too although the full results won't go up for a few days. So, not sure how I feel about the result yet!

Scrap that, I have just gone and looked at the archived results from the 22 July when I did it and I was 24:11, so it looks like I have given myself a minute less! Best change that wiki...
Yeh being given a time exactly 1 min out can happen, happened to me earlier this year. Some poor chap thought he had won, I'd actually beaten him by 30 seconds or so when I got the correction. So tomorrow Brad Wiggins hits almost the same course I did when I did that 18.46, he will of course be trying to beat Dowsetts competition record of 17.20, set on another ast course (E2/10).
I personally think he will beat it and it's likely he might do a 16 which is an average speed over 35mph...
