Cycling club 10 mile hilly time trial

Well just back from the Bridlington cycle clubs first event of the year. A ten mile hilly time trial. It was a great night for it, pi$$ing down with rain and very cold. I opted for the standard time trial bike, so no deep carbon wheels and no pointy aero helmet, and I also opted for the extra baggy waterproof coat to be as aero as possible! I was off number 10 and the legs somehow managed to do an ok job really. I clocked a 26:34 (winner was 24:20). I was speaking to one of the local lads about how the course compares to a flat 10 for time and he reckons about 3 mins off the times clocked tonight. Happy with that, lots of room for improvement, warmer weather, all the aero gear on and not doing a marathon 2 days before, I reckon I could have a good race on the 17th May at the Driffield Sprint Tri.
