'Dale Posted November 12, 2014 Share Doing my 1st DC. Longest ride I have ever done is about 160km. Lets see how this goes. Team seam to be in a social mode. Want to do 7h or slightly under. I have no frame of reference for this race so no idea if this is a fast time or notLekka man lekka! Social mode is around 8 hrs and more...

Velouria Posted November 12, 2014 Share How is the seeding done. I am just trying to ascertain what a likely finish time will be - I see the cut off is 4pm - how much time would that leave someone to finish? ie what time does the last team set offI think they use the seeding (PPA or Argus or something) of the riders in the team. Which sucks if you don't have such a seeding, like Ben Swift. Perhaps he should consider doing the Fun Ride World Champs. Luckily, the last teams don't need 11 hours to get around the course. There was talk of spreading the top teams throughout the field so that marking and pacing wouldn't come into play. The downside is that conditions won't be similar for all the top teams.

Velouria Posted November 12, 2014 Share Why does it suck? Earlier start and less back markers to work your way through?I don't do early mornings well And back markers are just targets with which to gauge your progress. (Or places to hide once you've imploded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted November 12, 2014 Share I don't do early mornings well And back markers are just targets with which to gauge your progress. (Or places to hide once you've imploded) I would have settled for just " I needed an excuse to mention that I have Ben Swift in my team" Not that one needs an excuse to brag about something like that....
