A bunch is (apparently) not what it used to beaccording to "the" FB group

next year I'm holding onto your pocket racing snake... although... they might seed you at least two batches earlier than me

Who really cares about sub 3s? Isn't a sub 2:45 or sub 2:30 where the real bragging rights are?

Time is on the system, so eventually I managed that elusive last place... 20497/20497

Wanted to stay with them, but they were going too fast

Only if you have autopause on and you do recovery stops on a 2:59:59 or better quest over 90km or more, will a sub 3 not be a sub 3 anymore.

Some random pics.. one at a time Water point 8, 15 minutes before official cut-off Those streaks across the road are from water/Coke/Energade. Road surface becomes quite sticky from all this sugary stuff!

Never! They work quite well on cheapy pedals (Their second 94.7 now!) Your wife finished a bit earlier than what I did (17:00 ish), otherwise I could have helped her along. Well done to her toughing it out to the finish!

Anything for a free cap and t-shirt.. and a Bicycling magazine .. .Ooh and free drinks! I declined the offer of food.

We did Those are 20 year old leather hiking boots!

Just got of the phone with Racetec. The mats a km from the finish picked me up, just not those AT the finish. I'll send them my Garmin file and details and they'll rectify it for me

I freakin hope so! I finished with the last two riders ahead of the sweeper vehicles after the cheerleaders took a bloke who couldn't pedal anymore off my hands and pushed him across the line!

Very proud of my 10:12:45. My biggest accomplishment on the #CC2013 Cycle Challenge so far!

I was more than 30 minutes slower in the OFM (starting in AL) than in the 94.7 (starting in B ) last year

1000m of ascent means there is 1000m of descent if the start/end is at the same venue. So a flat route actually

I always thought doing two laps consecutively is considered hard core. Boy! Was I wrong. Doing 10 laps consecutively, now THAT is HARDCORE!

I do not have a time for the Amashova, so if I take 1 second as a hypothetical time (closest to 00:00 - which I am using as no time) then my 94.7 this year should be at least 34200 time slower - I am aiming for 9H00 - 9H30 for the 94.7. This means that anybody who did a sub 3 (2:59) Amashova should look at an equivalent time of 102,590H30 for the 94.7. That is about 11 years, 9 months, 13 days and 14:H30. HAPPY CYCLING!

Below are photos of my machine for the 2013 edition, taken a few months ago. Every second year I do something different with the 94.7 on, or have a non-fast goal. So this year I am aiming to be last, starting in my seeded batch just before 6:45. If you see me, wave, because most will overtake me - that is if I am not stopping somewhere for breakfast / ice cream / cold drink / lunch / chats / whatever reason! Saddle courtesy of nsBB I hope to post a time around 9+ hours for a single lap, which will add to my previous times of 7:17 (2011) and 6:22 (2009). Times posted in 2008, 2010 and 2012 are not very relevant I have a very specific bike in mind for 2015, and hopefully it will afford me a start time before the VA bunch then. Feel free to post your "race" machine + target time!

Two things http://www.mavisbeacon.com/Typing-Tutor-Software.html‎ http://oxforddictionaries.com/‎ At ease, go ride your bike now!

Why?

We bow down to your superiority. PS: The beauty about those who hold themselves in higher regard than those around them is that it is so much fun chopping them down!
