So, what are the odds on doing a sub 3 out of F bunch??

[Jakkals.]

something seems wrong. 6th in B last year, now demoted to C?

Ok i'm happy I start before the charity groups

[sluiper]

Looks like they put a few groups together and made the time in between shorter.

 

I see some chaos coming...

I've created a google docs spreadsheet to track start groups. Anyone can edit. Add yourself to it: docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArXWoHLgHhkrdE91U3BQNXcxYkFiSXhMeXZqM0FLUnc&usp=sharing

You need all the stars to align for you on the day and then a little extra luck... Realistically aim for 2015

I'll be honest and tell you they're not good. Last year only riders in B and below managed to do a sub 3.

 

This year gaps between groups are 1 minute up to E. Between E and F there's a 3 minute gap which will make it very, very difficult to do sub 3.

I just managed a sub 3 from B. think we were the last bunch to get under 3. the weather was perfect.

Question: What are the chances of doing a sub-3 out of VA? After a mate's bachelors in Franschhoek the night before?

[eeeek]

My intense hatred and loathing of PPA and Racetec's not so mathematically nor statistically sound result manipulation for seeding is further re-entrenched

Wow, so many variables come into play here...

 

Are you drinking wine or beer? Spirits? Tequila? Will there be ladies of the night (a.k.a. strippers)? Will you be cycling home? What is your average intake of alcohol per day?

 

All or some of the above will affect your chances.

Lots of anger here... What is eating you, Bud?

I asked them for some help. They sent you. Thx mate, I appreciate it!

[T-Bob]

Got placed in J. Not bad.

 

I'm ahead of the tandems and now need to make the decsion if I drop down to N to ride with my buddy who I've down each of the previous 3 with or try to get to 3:15 after getting a 3:30 from L last year.

 

It's about the experience but...

Yup, got my best seeding ever (not saying what for fear of ridicule, this is The Hub after all). But I'll be riding with my boys from RR, starting at 8.22am which is a lot better than the 9.30 start they got last year. Really looking forward to it!
