David Higgs Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) 8 mins from the Finish after chilling for 10 mins behind the Ladies! We should have jumped the Elite Ladies earlier. Being my first proper race, I gotta admit, I didn't even think we were allowed to. This was a good moment in time though. I enjoyed the remark from behind me somewhere...."Now we go!". Awesome ride. Loved it. Edited November 11, 2013 by David Higgs lucmccann 1

Wannabe Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 FRAIL, so how did you end up BEHIND them again? I know we (A bunch) passed them just outside Wellington on the road going out towards Hermon. Their leaders passed me again going up Botmas. Where did they pass you again for you to end up behind them, if they were going as slow as you say?

'Dale Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Winning an Elite group probably also has less emphasis on time as opposed just beating those in the group. There's virtually no emphasis on time.It's all about winning.
Gunzo Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 There's virtually no emphasis on time.It's all about winning. This is a discussion I try to avoid with non-cyclists. I've tried explaining this concept to friends and family. It's not so easy for them to grasp that even though someone, not in the elite's, may have a faster time, he will stil not be the overall winner.
