Bigmozzarella Posted November 1, 2013 Share OK - it's sorted.AL - BL is 25min apart(but like Cheese says - thats assuming there's no groups between that.)CL, DL, etc start times posted are 5min apart.All good for racingThanks. ------ So, don't know if it's just me that thinks something is screwed up about this.The start groups seem to be 25 min apart. Last year it was 10min apart - so if you're in a group - you can't catch the one in front. If you get dropped.... can you're riding solo for a looong time.This year - they've deicided to increase that by 250% I hope they fix it.I just can't see myself standing in the start block for 25 minutes, knowing that the group ahead will be 14-15km away by the time we start. The Argus would have started 8 groups in that time. Anyone else notice that?Something I'm missing?A silver lining perhaps?

DieTakalani Posted November 1, 2013 Share Did you read it somewhere, I don't think they start so long because I'm CL and that's 7:00 and BL starts 06:55 its 5 minutes apart except if you talking about the MTB than I don't know about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil6 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Hoping not man!!Can't find a start time list anywhere though.Jsut working on SMSsAlso hope so, otherwise their is no way in hell I'm supporting the race on Sunday. 25min to wait for the next group is a waste of everybodys time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted November 1, 2013 Share You areOK... so it's prob just AL-BL then?I do not know all the times but you are asuming BL starts after AL.Remember there might be a Ladies Elite group or Junior groups inbetween.Check it out at Expo.But there won't be 25 min gaps.

DieTakalani Posted November 1, 2013 Share Yeah I think so but , what group are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboli4 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Might be AL-BL only. From there on in everybody is at 5min. apart. Probably putting racing tandems or the V groups in between then or something. I'm in CL @ 07.00. Know BL is at 06:55 and DL 07.05 and so on. MTB is also 5min. apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
