ShortLegs Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I will be there, gonna strap both chips on, all this extra weight Going to start with the league riders as had a good Burger and finished with the leading ladies, so I think the time has come to try league. I have taken part in the scratch races at Killarney, will the pace be that intense for all 88km ? Thanks First competitive league race ever? Going to be baptism of fire with all the ex/semi/full-time racers in the Vets/Masters/ladies bunch. Good luck, you're gonna need it!! Thornman 1
Mads Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 I phoned PPA and they confirmed that they are not involved with this race. This also means that if you want to be timed, you need to buy the 2time chip. Next weekend league riders must wear both and other mortals only need the racete chip as it will be a Ppa race.

Thanks Prepare yourself for spitting blood with the anaerobic intensity - especially up ascents and routine 'unscheduled' attacks and counter-attacks. Great test. (My experience was in Vets over the last few seasons)

No reference on the PPA website to this event - so that backs up the fact that they aren't involved. My query then is why the discount for PPA members?

I have taken part in the scratch races at Killarney, will the pace be that intense for all 88km ? My first time as well, if the pace is like that for 88km its gonna be a looong solo TT for me Scrap that - figured it out. PPA sponsor the league and this is part of the league. Got it... Confused me as well, but it makes sense that PPA wouldn't host 2 races on the same weekend (Journey 4 Sight)
Sworks20 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Roller fest of note. This route is basically pan flat, where you learn to read a profile?
'Dale Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) This route is basically pan flat, where you learn to read a profile? I train there lots.Profiles are just profiles. Not the real terrain. Go roll there yourself if you haven't yet. Edited January 7, 2014 by ' Dale Micky Mouse 1
ShortLegs Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 You N00bs are in for a surprise. Say hi before the race; I'm the shorty on the red/black specialized
