Stats stats stats!!!

 

Just start in your group and trap the *** out of your pedals for as long as you can and see where you finish...

 

Add in there, and then when catching the other groups enjoy the lovely sound of brakes screeching and carbon splitting and shattering and testosterone screaming and swearing.....

There is nothing as satisfying catching an oke on his 120k Pinarello 2 groups in front of me on my 2005 Giant...

And saying "Hey Howzit going" as you pass ... but so fast, he only hears "Hey How ....."

Exactly why my seeding has dropped - and not unfair IMO. I'd be much less happy if I worked hard in races this year and ended lining up next to some guy (basically me) who'd done nothing, and just got seeded off last year's ride

 

Agreed, and then there is the flipside. If the guys around you are stronger than you, you will get dropped sooner or later and end up doing the last 20kms on your own, not fun either.

 

Whats the point of telling your chommies "hey look at me, I am starting in VA" only to be spat out the back up the first climb. Starting with people who have the same index as you is beneficial for all. You got that index in the same way as everybody else did.

 

If the group you are seeded with doesn't have a sexy enough letter or doesnt give you club ride bragging rights, sorry, train harder, race more. People dont get into Elites by doing one funride a year.

It took me a while to realise there is no magic oil that some of our fast/faster club guys have which I don't - they just train harder or smarter than me. I can live with that, we each choose as much or as little and that's what determines our times ... EPO aside of course .... hopefully the postal strike will end and mine will come in time ;)

Why? The old boring story of guys on cheapies who ride faster than the dudes on flash bikes is so yesterday!

 

I can't wait to hear about all the mtb's in group XX who dropped all the roadies on the climbs... :ph34r:

You obviously ride a Pinarello... Rest my case.

Did this little exercise some time back....

 

You could have broken it into B group SUB 3:01 and I would have been one of them :(
