ATTA Winter By The Lakes - Champion Lakes August 2015

Champion Lakes is becoming my favourite TT course. What isn't to love about a smooth bike-path like 5km circuit? Apart from having to dodge duck shit here and there around the course.

Last Sunday was a few degrees warmer and we were met with a lot less wind than the July edition. Times would be quick for the 130+ riders on the start list.

Back again with the roadie dressed up as a TT bike. 

Loaner trainer from Stuart Gee coming in handy!

Power was within a few watts of last time, my time was 16 seconds faster. 26:30 and 2nd place to a flying Matt Illingworth @8.4seconds. 45.2km/h on the roadie was pretty swift. I'd still love to bring out the full TT rig, if only for that long back straight section. It'd be magic sailing along that segment in a proper aero tuck!

I made use of the beaming sunshine and took the scenic route home. WA in winter isn't bad at all. :)
