Hmmm I feel a new tandem challenge on the horizon 😍
Chris Ward of @wardperformanceuk piloting this time- 1st ride together a reccie of Latton TT zone 2 HR for me.
A lot of laughs along the way but the speed really surprised us both!
Can you guess our combined age? Clue : well into 3 digits but hey experience & aero knowledge counts for a lot🤩
Message me if you need help with aerodynamics I can arrange it with @wardperformanceuk

We had a goal, we gave it everything we had, it was enough!
I can’t thank @greenstreetian enough for his exceptional piloting. My life is in his hands at 76kph 😱
TT bike provided by our dear friend @tandemrach , custom made @wardperformanceuk arm rests.
Next up … sights on the 🇬🇧 tandem age record 15 mile TT next month!
@wardperformanceuk extremely kindly set me up with a tandem to practice on ahead of my ride with @tandemrach .
I always thought the mount would be the most difficult part and it certainly was😂
The residents of Bishampton were treated to a spectacle of me repeatedly trying to mount and failing until we were forced to ride in trainers 😂
The amusing scene continued as the rush hour village traffic built up as I didn’t have the confidence to get on the tri bars & therefore did not change gear for the entire ride 🤣🤣🤣
On the plus side within 45 minutes I had mastered the mount (it had to be a scoot mount), was no longer terrified, exceptional at steering including avoiding drains & potholes and our dismount on an imaginary line was 👍
T - 14 days until race day….thanks so much for your patience Chris Ward and to @wardperformanceuk one of my sponsors for being so supportive.
I promise to work hard every day to safely pilot @tandemrach at 🇬🇧 championship the journey continues…
