Patchelicious Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Will be doing this one, will be my first, but looks good from what I have seen and read.
tombeej Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Yep, I'm signed up for the full distance Flatish route, should be quite a fast one.
Lone Rider Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Sorry. I lied. Just checked again. 653m!I did this one last year. Both my Garmin and my girlfriend's showed an elevation gain of around 900m. Not sure how accurate these devices are, but judging by my average speed on what was a relatively windless day, I definitely think the elevation is more than 650m.Note: The Racetec average speeds are exaggerated, the distance covered was 101km - not 105km. I averaged 37.1km/h. Racetec has me doing 38.65km/h. Either way, it's an awesome race. Very well organised, and no cars or trucks to worry about. Brogue 1
Patchelicious Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 no cars or trucks to worry about. I'm moist. Lone Rider 1
Dazshell Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 AND! By the date of the race, the whole of the M4 North will have been resurfaced. Smooth and moist! Patchelicious and Seadog 2
David Marshall Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I really enjoyed this race last year. Coming from altitude the oxygen boost got me up the climb with the bunch and the descent is something! (bring ear plugs). Not to be missed. Edited February 26, 2014 by David Marshall
SurferChild Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I so wish I had enough leave days to do this one.... Really would have loved it!!
Sharkie 2 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I've heard good things about this race but never done it myself due to it overlapping the Panorama weekend. The fact that it's full road closure is a massive plus!Also Panorama for us unfortunately....Panorama just to good to let it go
Dazshell Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I so wish I had enough leave days to do this one.... Really would have loved it!!Just do it. It is a long weekend!
