I still train on my Aende
bike that I used for racing, but now with
700 wheels and 20 mm tyres, tri-bars and
clipless pedals. Total weight of the bike
is now around 24lbs.
I use a Cardiosport heart-rate monitor
(which allows replacement of watch and
chest batteries) and a Cateye Astrale
cycle-computer with cadence for checking
on pedal revs per minute.
I do 3 laps over the local 'Oliver Twist'
road race circuit, near Notton - halfway
between Barnsley and Wakefield on the
B6132. Which is a mile and a half from
where I live.
The start and end of each lap of the
circuit is the white line for the road
race finish, which is halfway between the
crossroads and Old Royston.
3 laps add up to 10 miles, which includes
a short climb each lap up 'Lanner'. There
are 3 left-handed turns, including 2
t-junctions where you have to be careful
of traffic. I avoid the circuit
altogether between 3pm and 6pm due to
heavy traffic.
My best time on the course was a 24
minute ride with plenty of 25s and 26s.
Recent best times over the last few years
include 25.58, 26.51 and 27.31.
 If you give it a try for 3
laps then let me know what times you
achieve
