Any chance I can get! But agreed about cherry picking the day and the conditions. I’m very new to cycling and triathlon and learned very quick about those sneaky crosswinds that those nice deep section wheels do not respond well to. As far as outdoor training days, is it worth riding out in a TT helmet or one of my non TT aero helmets ok? On a funnier note, I have a nice loop that I ride through that has low traffic volume near a retirement community and I think my bike (cervelo px) gives the old folks a chuckle! Any way, thank you so much for all the amazing content and look forward to more!
@@str8shooter-talk116 It's worth occasionally riding in a TT helmet to get used to it, but the main point of going out on the TT bike is getting used to putting out the power in the aero position, so wear a comfortable, well ventilated helmet to help you get the most out of your efforts
I've recently got my first TT bike so at the moment I'm getting out on it as much as I can for short rides, getting used to it. Nice open country roads with no traffic lights around my area so it's great to do a quick lunchtime spin!
I'm also in Sheffield, it's rubbish for the TT, I'll use it for short reps out on Manchester road with that easy uphill, then turn back around, otherwise it's staying on the trainer
Back when I first got into cycling I was invited to go riding with a group. One guy in the group would talk talk talk the whole time, and everyone was going at a really really slow speed. I finally apologized, got down in my aero bars, and sped off! Since then I train alone, because loners gotta be alone!
I added an inline brake lever on my aero bars, and it's an absolute game changer when it comes to handling. Now I can stay in the aero position when approaching traffic lights or corners or when going downhill. Also, super useful in races. Totally worth the slightly worse aerodynamics.
TT bike stays on the turbo unless it’s an organised club race with marshals. Down here (Devon, UK) the roads are rubbish; pot holes, lots of obstacles and narrow passing places so far too risky for me. I’ve started selecting races with closed roads to minimise the danger.
I have a 10 mile loop around my house that I like to ride. When on the TT bike it becomes 5 miles on the base bars and 5 on the aero. Way too many traffic lights and traffic to do anything else. On the second half though it is pure bliss. Minimal traffic and about as flat as it can be.

How often do you ride your TT bike?
Almost every day when the weather allows. I try to make the most out of our short Siberian summer cos I'm stuck to the velodrome 6 months a year.

For every ride, three times a week. Two indoor and a long (3 ish hours) ride outdoors. And I don’t go anywhere without my Garmin radar.

Safe words…. Great advice TT riders now have to display front and rear LEDs in races
Since I found my love again for cycling I really want to get into triathlons. I just need to find a TT bike 😵💫 I love watching this channel
You don’t need a TT to start triathlon
Buy some clip on aero bars for your road bike, great way to start just like I did 😁
You don’t need a TT for that
Sheffield, roundabouts and hills. I gave up the idea of being able to practice on TT bars and just stick to a road bike.

Thanks for this. I'm due to be heading out this weekend but with my wheels and aerobars the wind is worrying me!
Thanks for the tips though 😊👍

I am the same, thats what happens when your getting older you know your mortality

Super like this video xxxxxx
my top tip, do not go onto the aero bars in a built up area and practise cornering, cornering, cornering.
What depth wheels are you both riding in this video?
Looks like 6.5-7.5 cm
Not watched the video but I imagine you get on it and start pedalling
Am I the only one that don't see such a contract between a tt bike and road bike? Both are interchangeable as far as I am concerned
what the hell are u talking about
Do you bike?
Triathletes do NOT Ride TT bikes! Have some respect!
the fast ones do
