I used to live in County Antrim, so rode all round there in my school boy years when I started road cycling. Some great roads.

You won't be very far from the comeragh mountains, some lovely climbs there. But an Ironman sounds taxing enough.

Dabble in road and mtb in Wiltshire and around the country- used to ride seriously when a bit younger and travelled around the world competing.

Met some great people and even more fantastic rides and climbs…

Though leaning more to mtb/gravel now, getting fed up with the condition of the roads and attitude of drivers…

Chapeau to all athletes at every level

Looking forward to the crowds on the run and also Windmill Hill on the bike. I did IM Wales last year and the support was phenomenal. Mrs Skyblue is doing IM Wales this September. Hope for her sake she gets better conditions than I did last year.

I’ve been increasing the pace on my heavy mountain bike recently and it’s been making me think of my old road bikes I had.

Just treated myself to a good deal on a used pinnacle dolomite. Can’t wait to get out for a blast. Forgotten how intoxicating it can be

Just put my full sus into the bike shop for a full service. It's been sat in storage for about a year and a bit now just seizing up. I used to go trail riding regularly with a friend who sadly passed away last year. Since then, it's been a struggle to consider getting back on the wheels but hoping to get back at it soon!

The only 50TT, I tried I didn't finish. I punctured and using tubulars, didn't have a spare. Shame as I felt good that day as well.

The terrain on reaching Carms and in to Pembs wasn’t really an issue. I am used to it living in Pembs but the heat on those back lanes and lack of salts resulted in constant leg cramps for the last 40k x

What hydration tablets do you use if any?

I have found Precision Hydration great. I was lucky had a proper sweat test so know exactly the right mix for myself.

I just used SIS gels and they worked initially but they lacked the salt that I needed.

It reached the point that even the slightest exertion resulted in cramps.

I didn’t realise there was such a thing as a ‘sweat test’ x

I would go for a gravel bike then, I have an Orro Terra C which is 105. Great bike with Panaracer gravel.kings I ride the road and trials, just a wee bit more than budget but check the site out. Maybe the none carbon one is cheaper.

That list is a load of bollocks. I was doing 52 mins for a 25 and short 19mins for 10 miles.

2:29 for a 50 is a tasty time for a TT on a road bike. But not one hour quicker than “elite”

"I see a lot of other cyclists locally but wouldn't risk an embarrassing approach

I’m glad I’m not alone in this. We have a cycle group in town that’s attached to the local bike shop and you see them about all the time but I feel so intimated to join in, they’re like full on racers.

It can be even harder trying to find a cycle buddy than it can be finding a fuck buddy "

Do you have a local triathlon group you could try out? Mine is great, many of us only really focus on one or two of the disciplines and for many it is purely social rather than competitive.

If you have a friend who knows their way around a bike I would look at pre loved. There are so many good deals to be had. Nonsuch thing as a baby modern bike.

I ride road and gravel.... gravel opens up so much more than road...great bridleways and byways to explore...and with gravel there is no right way... as in tyre choice, gearing, speed etc... enjoy and OS maps are your friend
