Set up, Set up, Set up
Picked up a TT bike yesterday that is on loan for the prologue of the Midvaal Vets Tour. The prologue is only 8km and I could probably do it on my standard bike . . but this GT bike with cosmic deep section rims just looks faster !! (it's all psychological and I'm convinced I can shave off a few more seconds than what I would probably post). Used as a TT bike in this years iron man , I have spend this evening adjusting the set up. It's previous owner (who very graciously offered it's use) is only 1,9m but must have a leg the length of a street poles. I had to drop the saddle a whole 3cm just to touch the pedals. . . and I still cant touch the floor. I'm sitting so far forward I feel like I'm going to flip over the bars!! I'd better do a few dry runs tommorrow to prevent any embarisment.
