Tiny K Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) That looked like a rowwe high-speed crash.Must've hit a cateye or something... Or just cornered badly... then again, I was flying down there after repairing a team member's puncture... Edited November 27, 2013 by Tiny K
grant10 Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 How is everyone planning to warm up for Hels? We can warm up but then we just sit in our chute for 30min and cool down? Is it worth trying to warm up?

Reg Lizard Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 You don't warm-up for Hells, you just hit it as hard as you can...and hope you recover going down on the other side Ceres, IndianRoadie, Skubarra and 1 other 4

Yusran Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Not sure whether I should be jumping for joy or crying in a corner... For some reason I am in start group D, whereas in all the other events I have done since September I have been in group O (which is nice for me its not too fast and not too slow right now). This will be my first Burger, I have been cycling for less than a year and have been out of commission for two weeks - I'm worried that I'm gonna get dropped out of D right off the bat! That's what one half of my brain is saying. The other half is flooded with excitement! So keen to just ride, and go balls to the wall as usual because its so much fun. Just sharing my thoughts here to get rid of some anxiousness. See you guys on the day!
