Belgian biker Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It seems I'll be the last hubber to start: 7C @ 9.24 But I think that group reflects my abilities perfectly. I'm just looking for a good time and hoping to finish somewhere around 6hrs

Belgian biker Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 On my roadbike, I get around 23-24km/h AVS on flat roads. With those hills and a few stops, I think my AVS will be more around 20k/h.
Rockspider99 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Start Group 3D, just bring your Glasses otherwise everything will be blurry!
DJR Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 On my roadbike, I get around 23-24km/h AVS on flat roads. With those hills and a few stops, I think my AVS will be more around 20k/h.There is something called the "Argus Magic": Basically, for those who trained and are reasonably fit, the excitement, the crowds, the vibe, the extra Coke, all works together to give you a few extra km/h on the BIG day. You can bargain on something very close to your normal average and perhaps even a little higher? If you are confident and can ride in a bunch, it can be quite a bit faster. That's presuming good weather, of course, meaning little wind. Oh gosh, there I went and said the W word! Sorry!
Long Wheel Base Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 HiSee you at the start. My partner chipped a bone in his back, so done a substitution, hope to stay there as he is same quality,but done less road for seeding. Why we do tandem...I really dont know..Ahh sorry to hear. Only 30 tandems in # this year AFAIK so lets all us hubbers work together.

Wannabe Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Does anyone have a link to the full start list showing group start times ?

On the CTCT website they should have the full list hidden somewhere.
eddy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 On the CTCT website they should have the full list hidden somewhere. That is the problem. I am not clever enough to find it and it is not for lack of trying..........
