tombeej Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 I said we're going to have the batch named after us next year... Somewhere in the back of my mind is an idea lurking to make this a more permanent project. In other words, have an I-Team for every race. Doesn't matter what batch is selected, it just stays The I-Team (Because there has to be an 'I' in 'Team' ). We'll see if this idea has legs beyond the 94.7. If not, no worries, it was fun while it lasted. But if it does, we could start looking at I-Team shirts and whatnot. But we'll see how this all plays out.... Rick Sanchez, pe3nguin, Lurch the stalker and 9 others 12
Frosty Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 This reads as good for the 2nd lap with any I-Team double lappers after a flying first one in a lower seeded licensed group... Patch may want to confirm... bmw1za 1
Frosty Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Somewhere in the back of my mind is an idea lurking to make this a more permanent project. We're setting up "race groups" in the club, so the guys can race together and get used to riding as a team. Will probably race B, C, D or E groups (depending on numbers). Imagine having another "team" to make it a little more competitive, but with the objective of finishing in a target time? We'll see if this idea has legs beyond the 94.7. If not, no worries, it was fun while it lasted. But if it does, we could start looking at I-Team shirts and whatnot. But we'll see how this all plays out....If it does get legs for 2016, I can make provision for it at the Carnival City Macsteel race - I bunch gets interviewed at the start too (some exposure) GaryvdM, W@nna-BE, bmw1za and 4 others 7
morne1600 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 This thread has been opened for the people who'll be hopping on the I-Train at the 94.7 Cycle Challenge. A place to discuss all the tactics & techniques needed for bunch riding so that we can help each other reach our target times, our plans for how we're going to get together on the day, race together and have some fun along the way. The main 'I' batch is getting pretty big now, but the riders who've said they're joining the actual I-Team are as follows: 1. BarefootDave2. Basil Brush3. bmw1za4. bored_girl5. BouncingBrain6.

Frosty Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I wouldn't advise setting off in group I at Carnival City though... that will probably be one of the last seeded groups before the late entries fill up J, K & L. You'd have to advise what the objectives would be and take it from there. Luckily there's still time - online entries only open in a few weeks.

Luckily there's still time - online entries only open in a few weeks.Think the objective of Group i has been set no matter what the race... a sub 3 .... whilst some of us may achieve this on the 94.7 and be wiser and savvy for it... in years to come we can be there to help others achieve this goal BouncingBrain and ScottCM 2
HappyMartin Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Not doing a full 2nd lap but riding home to Kensington part way on the route. Need to get to the start pens before the last group goes off. Patchelicious and TALUS 2

That way, you'll have relative safety with only a few open groups ahead. Where there's a will, there's a way. If there's interest too - I can make a plan. hayleyearth, TALUS, ScottCM and 3 others 6
JA-Q001 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Patch, are you thinking of joining - had enough of crushing it with the big boys? Our start time is 07h05 so we'll be done around 10h05 to 10h15 I guess. The last batch (WW) goes off at 10h28, so lots of time to get in for a second lap. VA starts at 5:40, so if we finish fast enough, then I can catch you guys on my second lap. Edited November 6, 2015 by JA-Q001 TALUS 1
tombeej Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 VA starts at 5:30, so if we finish fast enough, then I can catch you guys on my second lap. Is that you, Tony Martin? We would have about an hour headstart on you - you're going to need some of this stuff to catch us ahmedbadat and pe3nguin 2
pe3nguin Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Might need to spike that red bull with something a little more potent than taurine to close that gap.
