Rob22 Posted June 15, 2012 Share The route will be slightly shorter than last year (and no St Andrews hill). The route now goes off the highway at Joe Slovo (the Wilds) and then on to the M1. This cuts out the loop around the hospital who had issues getting doctors, staff and patents into the hospital. Now the route is about 94Kms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR 1.0 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Same here, did 3:15 last year. This will be my 5th. Have so far better my previous year's time by 15-20 min, so sub 3 is next goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad006 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Basket, mudguards, chainguard... the usual kinda stuff I still beat you with weight lol.... Over 45kg with 3 gears. My toolbox weighs 5kg alone as I need a 27 Spanner to take my wheel off incase of a puncture lol This year on my racer going for my 3rd Sub 3 I am tired of the long rides on the tricycle...I want to break the 2:45 mark or at least match it on this harder route if its the same as last year...

Bianchisti Posted July 17, 2012 Share Just had a look at my starting group from last year. The guy who came first was 57 minutes quicker than me and his in age group 65-69 (I'm hoping that was somehow a mistake) making me somewhere half his age. :blush: He was only second in his age group as well. If that's right he must've rode a killer time trial as his beaten off some in his age group who started from VG down to Group F!

Helpmytrap Posted July 17, 2012 Share I rode 2h40 last year, from group C and 2h29 in 2009 (on restricted gears as a licensed junior.) So this year I'm aiming for a 2h30, fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
