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

 

I see some chaos coming...

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

 

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.

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

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

 

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.

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.

Yup, got my best seeding ever :thumbup: (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!
