I've ridden a fixie (48x16) set up traditional 32 spoke wheels and drop bars 100 miles in 4hr,52min. This time I get to use a TT bike.

Well one thing is for sure. I have to start training.

I have an 18 mile route I take to work. I've recorded my times, and for some reason I can't find 2006. I'll ride it tomorrow and see what happens. Too bad I still don't have my PowerTap to compare to those 2005 times. The route has a handful of stop lights, so there are times you hit more than others, the same can be said for those power averages. Obviously they will a be higher if I'm not having to stop.
