For me there were two issues with TTs. First, I’m historically finicky about my positioning. The slightest deviation gives me issues. It’s probsbly just in my head, but it’s akways been this way. Going from an aero position to a climbing position was making me insane.

The other issue was the realization that in order to ride a TT bike well I’d need to spend prodigious amounts of time outside on it. That was a deal breaker. I know too many people who have gotten broken or dead. I did two fit sessions on my TT bike and hung it up. Been trying to sell it. I might jump into eddy stuff, but the vision my wife and I have cobbledbtogether is ten hill climbs and the other weekends in the Adirondacks at our house where I can train on the mountain. Driving south down 95 to some flat TT just doesn’t hold the same allure.
