Guest Frail4Life Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Say YOU COMPLETE the Route TWICE on ONE DAY, DOES that COUNT? Going for MY 8TH, SORRY UM My 16th. PB 2007 3H01.
mon-goose Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 8 rides for me. Best time was 2h40 and finished in 180th position. Can't remember exact year but was around 1996

PB 2007 3H01. What is the procedure for cycling the route twice? Does one simply walk into the starting pens at the back? Does the timing chip not get picked up by the mats (is it best to take the chip off)? Do the officials not check numbers etc. and disqualify your result?Thinking of doing the second lap with my dad who starts late.
jarek.pski Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 1st one this year... I can't wait!! trained hard for it
Wil6 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Good Q,because I've heard that you are not allowed anymore to ride the route twice
waanie Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 got 16 in the bag first one the best in 1994 in 4.02hrs worst 2010 cramps over 5hrs will try to improve this year but you know old age is cathing up with me
Tankman Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 This will be my 7th. Best 2007 - 2:50 Worst 2009 - Wind, puncture in Hospital bend, chain got stuck between the BB and crank on Boyes Drive, Wind and then I battled to survive and stay upright to the end, Wind!
Wannabe Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) No. 9 for me this year. Fastest was 3:07 in 2008 out of H group. Best (if you can call it that) was the "Tour of Storms" of 2009, F group, 3:32:13. Popular belief is that this translates to about a 2:50 under normal circumstances. Last year (2010)was my slowest, 03:43:59 out of D group. This year I'm in E, hoping for between 3:15 and 3:30. Edited March 7, 2011 by Wannabe
