Skubarra Posted February 25, 2015 Share Wonder where they will start as I'm sure a few of the open groups would be faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubehunter Posted February 25, 2015 Share Looks like they are the 1B group. So going off after 1A but before 1C Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubarra Posted February 25, 2015 Share Its really hard finding a spot to put them if they are on their aces. Yep, think it's impossible... Maybe give them a bigger gap but I don't think there are enough strong ladies to keep the group ahead of the wolves Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Zone Posted February 25, 2015 Share I am sure that this was done quite a few years ago. The ladies rode easy up hospital bend waited for the subvets to catch them and then rode the rest of the race with the boys. Will probably happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Not with a comissiare in place, they would either be told to back off & let which ever group catch them pass & also warn other batches not to latch on. Essentially they should be on their own from start to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted February 26, 2015 Share the ladies have a different mindset nowadays with a few of them racin o/seas, it should be an improvement from previous Argus's where they have had dedicated races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
