Getting under

Getting under - priceless.
On a bright cool morning with a gentle sou'westerly made to flatter the fixed gear rider on the H25/2 Ski Slope course, my four weeks of training (i.e. going for a ride now and again) paid off with a 1:15 improvement and my first sub-hour 25 in almost two decades. Getting under by 18s doesn't seem like a comfortable margin, and it certainly didn't feel like a certainty as my average speed dropped to 24.7mph approaching the Hurly slip road on the way home, but it's mostly downhill from there and the final margin amounts to about 200 yards at my eventual average speed.
