Some temp & wind stats for my ride. Actual time on the x-axis. Taking the highlighted 8:13:18, the temp was 22.1 deg. Celcius. Windspeed was 5.8km/h - green line and it was a slight headwind (black line, positive value of 1, negatives are tailwinds)

I really need to get rid of this habit of popping at around 20km! Great day to be out on the bike. Pity about the wind though, although it kept everybody honest!

+1

Spoke to the Racetec people today. It 'should' be fine to just put it in your back pocket. Other option is to ask one of them to hold it while you ride over the mats.I'm going all anti alien. Will wrap it in tinfoil (hopefully a lightweight diy Faraday Cage (untested - some theory behind it though) and hold it above my head. Can anybody confirm that there are start groups after 10am SS is at 9:56, TT @ 10:02, UU @ 10:08, VV @ 10:14 & WW @ 10:20 ?

What ride, where? I'm doing the Fun Rider World Champs! it is a RACE!!!

From admissions by some, and questions by others it would appear as if hubber moved up from shaving legs...

And this thread is about an entry for the 2011 Cycle Challenge.... Anybody knows a Marty McFly?

To the right of the number collection queues... "Double Club" / 10+ events / 16 events stickers are all there

Surely the start time of the original owner of the entry has no bearing on where the substituted rider will be seeded? Riding with own chip and other person's entry help nothing - only an official DNS. Riding with the original owner's chip can result in a DQ/ban from the event.

Done

Wanted to say the same! 2/3 bombs (+adaptor and tyre levers), spare tube + stick on patches. These do not weigh much, but their absence can cause huge delays.

OK, so it is official.. I am a mere pretender Week Endng TSS 2012/11/11 321 2012/11/04 315 2012/10/28 314 2012/10/21 328 2012/10/14 544 Monthly stats Month TSS Nov : 578 Oct :2242 Sep :2201 Aug : 996 Jul :1118 Jun : 417 May : 210

NO Work, 10am Expo, Esquire technologies later the arvie... Gonna be a good day!

Plain water / Game / 32 GI accelerate / ham and cheese sarmies / Powerbar gels. depending on the duration, intensity and occasion

Quite keen on this as well. Do not have somebody/somewhere to put my timing chip starting the second lap. Will wrapping it in tin foil and putting it in my back pocket prevent the sensors from picking it up?

Ahah! So it is first come, first serve? Where will the rest of you guys be pitching tents?

What to do to book a campsite? (I'll need some sleep!)

Solo SS entered....

What do I have to do to join? Not quite keen/prepared (Ok, I'm prepared in an Epic way ) on a SS Solo

Nee! Nee! Nee! nog 'n loslappie?

Chris Froome on 94.7 in a minute (or after the ads playing now)

Normal guys on bikes. You'll quickly realise that there are quite a few other 'normal' (non-pro) guys who know them... so no gawking & staring + awkward questions

No hubber showing off Carpet yet?

Looks like I'll be missing out this year

If you are fast enough for A/B/C they'll most probably seed you Elite Ladies or WA/WB/WC ...
