94.7 Cycle Challenge 2013

[Craig8252]

 

Seeded in F, but considering my lack of riding/training/motivation/etc, I'm keen to join the group.

Which group (I-K) would everyone consider starting in?

 

Started in D last year, finished in 3:08. Got dropped on EVERY climb - fitness level pretty much the same as last year - non existent. Spent a lot of time chasing to get back to a group. Punctured just before N14, forgot tyre levers at home - skewers work, but not as effective. Rode from N14 to finish on my own.

 

So I figure a sub-3 is feasible given my lack of fitness, but riding with a group will make it easier.

 

 

I have two of my training partners starting in K, so thinking we can make a group in K and put together a strong group to break sub 3.

@ Escapee..

 

 

Looks like we have some good numbers in I-K

 

You guys keen to pull together for a Sub 3?

***Are the guys in group I-K going to make their own group (inside each individual group??)

Or how does it work?

Yip, guys from I&J fall back to K and we can meet somewhere before the start and ride together

 

We did it at the Emperors Palace Classic and it worked very well

Sounds great I'll have to get my a$$ into gear and do more training...would not want to drop back and then get dropped from the group not a fast starter...but will wheel-suck for the first 10-20 kilo's if that's okay normally a better rider when the legs are pumping...and on N14 would like to be part of the "I-K" train...

Does anyone know what time the social tandem group (Ta/Tb) starts?

 

I'm starting in VA(5:40am) and hope to be back in time for a second lap on the tandem - don't know if I'm pushing my luck with this idea. If I'm too late I will just start with the next available group.

[scotty]

Oi all these race snakes falling back to K, you going to mess up my group finish position. !!!

[Squier]

I'm in K too. Gunning for a sub 3! A nice big strong group would be magic!

Perhaps a K group ride on 10 November in the cradle, for those interested?

Are you sure of the start time, K starts at 7:15.

I like the idea even earlier than the 10th would also been good!
