But I fitted the Aero Bars last night and had to try them out!!! and it was no point trying them on an unknown route so I had to do my 'Normal 20' to see how they would improve me :-)
The weather conditions were not ideal...
| 1800 |  | 17.8 °C | S | 14 mph | 5 km | 1014 hPa, Rising | |
| 1900 |  | 17.5 °C | S | 13 mph | 4 km | 1015 hPa, Rising |
I was not to sure about using the Aero Bars straight away and on the busy A4 so I waited for a quiet stretch and straight road...
It was a very pleasant surprise to find the riding position so comfortable and so fast!!! although the steering did appear a little twitchy.
For the first half of the ride I only used the Aero position on the straight and smooth stretches going back to the brake hoods for the bumpy cornery bits.
For the second half of the ride I obviously became a bit more confident and I used the Aero Bars for 95% of the ride, only changing position for braking, gear changes and tight corners.
The speed difference from my normal ride was amazing!!! I like the Aero Bars a lot......
The computer had tonight's ride as 21.27 miles in 1 hour 45 seconds with an average speed of 21 mph (Today was very poor conditions and my first time with the Aero Bars)
The GPS track can be found here...
