[ajwinters17]

Lastyear rode 3h20 on mtb .This year on road bike .Is this group fast enough for sub 3h or will i be doing all the work alone like last year

Blitzer I rode 3h01 2 years ago from a corporate bond! I'm starting at 7:07 too so im game to give it a bash!!

I AM REALLY SURPRISED OOM HAS NOT REPORTED BACK

 

I HAVE BEEN RESEEDED TO AA

what is the "regulations" or "unwritten rules" with regards to second lap ?

You will need to be starting before 7, with (at worst) a 3hr predicted race time on your first lap, to get into the last batch to begin your second lap...

The M1 re-opens shortly after the last batch comes off.

giving it a skip again.

I dont enjoy this race and the entry fee for a race I dont enjoy is to steep. Done it 13 times so no biggy to miss a few here and there.

 

Also, I see they got rid of the 40km ride and have changed the kiddies ride from 9.47km to 5.5km. I was super amped to get my nephew to agree to do the kiddies ride, but when we found out the distance we changed our minds, the little guy will do that without even breaking a sweat.

My advice? Swing back to the car.

 

The few times I've done the double lapper I've cycled back to the car to get new bottles, energy bar bar or two and drop my chip off - nothing worse than riding two laps and having your data messed up by additional chips hits.

 

I love it - first lap is fast'n'furious - second lap you get to soak up the atmospere a bit. Do the right thing and help fix a few punctures and provide a nice slipstream to a few people etc.

Sounds good.

I guess one could also stop for a massage or two along the way.

And you want me to push you ???

 

I've toyed with the 2nd lap idea for a few years but by the time I've completed the 1st lap I'm finished and doing a 2nd lap really seems like a terrible idea.

[lone one]

How do you go about getting a re-seeding as Amashova is only this weekend?

Wyatt for HP (Hub president).

He will start in UU do a lap on race day and join the last start group to do a double lapper.

Same question, I only started riding recently and have only done 2 events so far but hoping for a decent result in the Jacaranda Satellite next week. Isn't that supposed to be a seeding event as well?
