foil 20 if i remember correct ?- to be honest i dint see much above the wheels i was trying to hold onto. :blink: but yeah i remember you, great effort. makes such a difference when theres enough guys willing to work together to push the pace!

 

now the near death experiences with the jack-knifed truck and the slower riders from the short distance on the way back home was another story!

I have the Foil 10. I really enjoyed the ride hey... had to chase down a few early breaks and then was caught napping when that small bunch got away. oh well..... Playing in the traffic on the home stretch was a bit hairy but without a full road closure......

You need to be awake.

I was in the front of the AL group till the last turn when they went for the sprint I sat up. Worked my @ss of for a good time as I don't go for the sprint to win the group. This morning the results were correct, showing the winner of the group as 2:31:40. Just checked again and there are 10 new names from 2:27:34. How on earth is this possible? Who can one contact with regards to this error it needs to be fixed? What's right is right. I know it makes no difference to me whatsoever, but it is not a true reflection of the race.

 

To add the guy that supposedly won the group now seems to ave raced in two groups at the same time, well done.

Imagine that if there was no challenges and it was just smooth sail - err riding and how boring the race would be... Specifically for the poor late starters - short riders who have to endure all the shouting to keep left - because of BL, CL nrs 455 - 999 etc... think that the firstplace spot is really gonna matter in the big picture.

 

Have to admit I was quite disapointed by the verbal outrage by some of these RACERS at these riders some younsters with there mothers who cycle for the fun and who don't understand or have the experiance what the BL, CL, DL riders have.

 

My little rant for today
