I know people who’ve been coached by an ex domestic ‘pro’ with no qualifications and thought he was great.
For me, any qualifications would only be a part of it. The biggest thing for me would be the accountability/motivation factor.

Nice Aethin with race wheels in Horley if you’re quick.

Bloody hell. Nice numbers. I reached the conclusion getting to 4w/kg was fairly easy for most but 5w/kg takes some serious dedication.
Cornwall riding is tough! I live in the Peak District and found it hard going down there when we had a week in Looe a few years back. Wind from every direction and constant bergs. Makes a man of you!

Got a watch on this. I like the colour personally. Needs the Aeoleus wheels with white spokes and a 130mm stem IMO.
Proper long and low classics machine.

Somehow I don’t feel comfortable taking financial advice from a man walking along a canal in a dirty coat.

Yeah. Point taken on that. I bought one of these for a specific job and used it to destruction. I don’t think a more expensive drill would have lasted me significantly longer.

YMMV (your Makita may vary).

As Dubkev says, no batteries. However I have been using knockoff batteries from eBay for £20 a pop. Absolutely fine. The 8.0 ah ones last as long as a legit 5.0 ah Makita battery in my opinion. But they’re a third the price.

Personally I have always found SDS drills a bit too aggressive for doing jobs like curtains tracks. Far better off with a combi that’s got a hammer action. You’ll only be going into brick or block.
I always mentally felt better leading into an event if I knew I’d done as much as I could fit in. The power of confidence isn’t to be underestimated as long as you don’t burn out.
