[quote="Phil the Pie"][quote="Grahame"]Does one need to have a BC membership to join Uncle Huw's punishment class?
No.
Damn. I'll have to think of another excuse then.

CBA?
Back to OP, I don't have rollers so can't compare with how they relate to x/y/z. However based on your time I would say that they are nowhere near comparable to a proper TT, but then nothing is the same as a race in the real world. Road surface, gradients, wind speed and direction etc etc etc etc.
The closest they could relate to would be the track in a low rolling resistance and no wind/gradient type way. However as your 10 back-to back 3 times would create a new hour record then I'd say that rollers don't compare to that either. Or if you did that time for a 10 then you'd be in a tooth and nail battle with George for the trophies, getting top 10 placing in Opens and one of the best juvenilles in the country.
I'm not trying to knock, far from it, well done and keep going with the training, but I would avoid trying to compare apples and oranges and use your training to compare apples and apples. For example you could use this 10 mile TT on rollers as a base and re-test yourself with it at set intervals, say every 4 weeks, to monitor your progress.
