Today we went all the way to the velodrome within Derby Arena, some 98 miles away!

I did 10 laps or so slowly to warm up, this was during a tandem session so I just rode around the bottom of the track, I then did a Kilo with a flying start, I am now really getting into doing Kilo’s, kilometre time trials.

I completed the first one in 01’56’40, I am pleased with the improvement over my last time at Derby.

I rested for 20 minutes or so before my second attempt which was: 01’57’06. Initially I was quite disappointed but then I worked out I was only 0’26 seconds slower which is pretty good considering my inability to follow the lines very well, especially when pushing hard.

I know there is a lot more to come both from riding technique and physical ability.
