Here are the results of the handicap - tricky one to handicap as data on a straight 10 is limited and then most of that is on a TT bike. I have gone by using data from the K36 4.5*2 and then multiplied by 10/9 to get to a 10 mile handicap. One could multiply a bit more to make allowance for moving f...
