Did i hear the commentary say this used to be the O2 Course on the A1. i go back to 1962 August bank holiday Sunday when Frank Colden broke Ray Booty's 100 mile record by 4 minutes to 3 hr 54 mins . We heard about it via TT Army telephone at the Bawtry round about cafe after our 25 mile TT run by North Notts Olympic CC. i did my pb 1hr 0min 12 secs at age 18 yrs for 18 place. Bas Breedon won 55min 49 sec.A cool 36 years earlier than these stupendous recorded times. Don't the range of bikes look strange? As if they are waiting for carbon ! We had similar weather but with understated concrete dual carriageways ! Keep on riding all of you !
@@bimbobaggypants4820 hi Gareth. If you mean my bike (Black Shorter) it was simply a micro steel frame with carbon fibre wrapped around to increase aerodynamics and power transfer. I could give you the full spec but it would bore you to tears 😂
@@AdamHardyCycling I used to some time trials as a young lad, never did well though. I had a micro Graham weigh in about 1997 ish but I lost interest a bit after and sold it. I just do cycling for fun and to keep fit since.

So cool to see the old tech and positions, some of them look super uncomfortable and awkward!
That’s me at 8.55. Loved that bike.
@@AdamHardyCycling lovely bike, what was the frame material? What group set? Shamal front mavic rear wheel?

Anything from the 1997 Nationals Adam? Cheers.
I have the 97 worlds but don't think i have the nationals. I am going through stuff a bit at a time.
@@AdamHardyCycling I did the 10 Nationals in 97. Think I finished 100th!
