Scooterza Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 OK, got my seeding and as it is my first big road race I just have a quick question on how it works. My race number is D 3482. So I presume I am in batch D? So my wife is in CC. How does it work if I want to ride with her? My start time is 6:47 and her 8:23. Can I just go with her and start with her? I am not concerned with my time at all. I just want to enjoy this ride with my wife. Do I need to make arrangements with the race office or will it not matter if I start anytime later than my seeding? You can start later than your group but not earlier. So you can happily start with your wife. Just know that you will be riding with the "riff raff" if you start at that time. I use that in the nicest way and knowing that I was in that group a few years back!
Cyclewizz Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 VC for me - def dropping back!! Whats a good group to drop back to that will still make 2:45 - 2:50? "B" should get you your time, then you can also push me @robox, you in "B" ??
MariusC Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 ROFL I'm in GG. More beer i guess, I mean start is only at 8:50 and I dont want to dehidrate

Helpmytrap Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 VC for me - def dropping back!! Whats a good group to drop back to that will still make 2:45 - 2:50?Last year I rode 2:40 in C, so B or C should work.

The Ouzo Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 hmmm, this is going to be a tough one. starting in FF due to not having done any races for the last 2 years.

hayleyearth Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 For only buying a road bike 2 months ago and only riding it about 4 times I guess "N" isnt tooooo bad...just unfortunate I am not able to ride the damn race now. Would have been awesome I think.
