Used to do a 2 person team time trial every year here in Texas. Always hard to pace yourself correctly. Especially with hills. Lance Armstrong used to participate in the same race with us back in the day. Great finish!

[@zukzworld]

Wow! Well done!! 👍🏾

[@RayCottam]

That's the same course I rode my first ever TT on. I never troubled the top of the leaderboard, but was super pleased to improve on my times over the season... and I think that's how you should approach TTs.

[@StevieJD74]

Great stuff you two. Super strong riding and great finishing position.

[@Miekzz]

ahh that looks so good. love love love seeing all the different kinds of people going for it, doesn't matter what age or kit you have, you can have a good time

[@peterkeating536]

Brilliant well done great fun and try anything great advice 👏👏👏

[@denlsgoulden2307]

Great effort, seemed to have a very effective system going there, with your wing man acting as a wind shield 😊😊

[@user-ig9gp5yv1c]

Well done❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MrLuigi-oi7gm]

Such a ferocious look of "I want to do my best!" on your face! I "luv" that so much!!! 😍 😍 😍 Also, I love that you didn't need a TT bike for this event. Clearly, the whole point was for as many folks as possible to have a great adventure with a friend. That is such a BEAUTIFUL concept. ❤️❤️❤️

[@bikerpeavey]

I might have a go at one this year.

[@shanegreen2583]

Love 10 mile TT. I’m no good but it’s a battle against yourself for 30 mins 😮‍💨

[@robertdavies9594]

Short and sweet. The look of determination on your face showed how much you really wanted to do well. Nice one guys. And yes, you did look fantastic 😉😊

[@KatieKookaburra]

It’s that thing of what I think I look like on a bike and the reality of what my hanging jaw looks like haha

[@meneersjonnie]

Heeey Katie racing again 🙏

[@Dr.DP-PhD]

Nice one and great teamwork! Two ups are great fun. Even more fun when each rider uses their best strengths. Time to look for a hilly 10?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ooooh they do hilly ones????? Yessss defo would be up for that

Reminds me of adam and me riding like that on our cycling holidays. We had a blast then too.

The best trips them mate 🙌

@@AdamMeadowcroft you and Katie should recreate some of them. Staying at the youth hostels. Just don’t recreate Philip walking into someone’s house

Oh mate, I accepted a video call from him on a gravel ride in Scotland. I think he’s asked about Katie every time since 😂

[@markreams3192]

My kind of time trial, where you sit and suck wheel the whole way! 😂

Flat pedals for the win! 😂

[@ebikescrapper3925]

Mapdec Cycling just done a video about your fork video.

[@secretagent86]

You rode two individual time trials. Need to be 6-12 inches behind or to the side depending on the wind. Glad u tried it.

[@markrushton1516]

My thoughts exactly. It's hard to get used to that being so close if you are not in the discipline of track or TT racing.

[@AdamMeadowcroft]

You’ve got to remember you’re seeing limited footage which is probably the best for the video in terms of angles. I totally agree and being able to sit that close to someone is a skill which takes practice and absolute trust. We both had a blast and felt spent at the end, whilst also thinking we could have gone a bit quicker. Macclesfield Wheelers organised a fantastic event, and the format which felt inclusive and levelled the playing field.

[@markrushton1516]

Would be worth spending time riding the course a couple of times at a lower speed to know where to speed up or avoid potholes. There was one corner where either you sped up or Kate slowed down. So neither of you is working efficiently. Appears she was riding to one side so no slipstream benefit. But I understand the fear of close riding. On the other hand it's just an evening bike ride.

[@andygoldensixties4201]

TT is a hard exercise, a 2 person TT even worse if the two are unequal (and head wind is strong), but if the weaker one stays very close (we say "suck the wheel") he can easily sustain the pace.

[@pw4444]

Well done, but get really close to the front rider !

[@darrellcarter1163]

Well done skinny k

Katie, at 02:49, what is that big structure in the background? Thanks

The Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank - always an awesome sight whilst cycling around Cheshire.

Katie, 16k = 10 miles 'cus that's my daily indoor practice. 28 mins tops for me. You guys are good. World Record is supposed to be 16 mins, WTF! 😳😭

[@KatieKookaburra]

16 MINUTES?!!! Not a chance hahaa

[@glennoc8585]

How flat was it? Your shoes are colgate white katie

[@szankony6276]

~3.4m/km IT IS NOT up hill but flat so average speed should be >40km/h at 10 mile TT 😁 Another story yours +54m vs +34m Adam's elevation gain it is shame for bike computers you used 😎

[@mrspice2486]

Not really relevant I know but I could do with some help …I’m buying a gravel bike , what’s the better deal: £1k for cannondale topstone 1 like new £1k for ribble CGR AL Enthusiast like new 🤔🤔💡

Since you're not used to this strange *flat stuff, maybe just pretend that it's just a long shallow climb.

[@KatieKookaburra]

That’s what I tried to think - but don’t actually like the speed. Think it’s after me crash just love the hills!!

[@malcontent510]

@@KatieKookaburra I totally get it. We all have our personal hurdles to overcome. I recall a video by Lou V. where she was talking about the difficulty with keeping up with folks in a _fast _*_flat_* group ride in the USA. In that area there are "no" hills, so their approach to "pacing" & power is different from those of us who do ride in the hills.
