Craig8252 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 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.

Eddie13 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 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 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Oi all these race snakes falling back to K, you going to mess up my group finish position. !!! Frosty 1
Squier Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I'm in K too. Gunning for a sub 3! A nice big strong group would be magic!
Squier Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Perhaps a K group ride on 10 November in the cradle, for those interested? Escapee.. 1
