Ceres Posted November 26, 2012 Share What would be a good 30km split? Considering Hels in the beginning? Not alot of guys broke 3hrs from J so just try to stay with the front guys up hels and you never know you might catch the group in front and you should break 3hrs no problem.

Skubarra Posted November 26, 2012 Share Starting in J this year. Did a 3h21 last year, starting in W.What's the chance of a sub 3? Held back a bit last year due to fear of cramping. I did a 3h12 last year from J on a mtb, and trust me, I'm no Bradley Wiggins - so sub 3 very doable. Like Ceres said - if you climb strongly up Helshoogte you'll likely catch riders from the higher groups and then just stick with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted November 26, 2012 Share You coming through to race, Ceres? Yes probably pulling away in % group, bit worried about the rain though. After my big crash in the 99er from % group I have lost alot of confidence in the rain. Didn't enjoy the big downhill in the DC in the wind and rain. If they still predict rain I will maybe bring the mountain bike and ride with my brother in G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerr Posted November 27, 2012 Share Somehow got promoted to E from L last year. Would love a sub 3, but this is 1st year I've ridden DC and then Burger 1 week later, so no idea what will be left in the legs over those rollers home on the R44. Looking forward to it loads though - will be few of my DC team mates too, so be a nice re-union Edited November 27, 2012 by walkerr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyncSA Posted November 27, 2012 Share You know me?! There goes your reputation! Just to make sure - you're the one with the new bike?! (Got the name and not the hubname, but recalling threads, I think it's you!) BTW, my hair is usually much shorter than yesterday, I got some comments about it already... My chirp in return is I'm planning on braids (you know those corn-types...) for Burger! That's the one! Suppose it depends on what is inside the braids..
