Yesterday for the first time in a while, I took the TT bike for a spin. Less than five miles down the road my quads were protesting, I was shuffling around on the saddle and I just wasn’t feeling “right” on the bike. I pulled over for a quick roadside evaluation, resulting in me lifting the saddle…

Earlier in the week we’d had a decent downpour to wash most of the salt and crud from the roads so everything was falling into place. The time trial bike had been staring at me from the corner…
