tombeej Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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.... pe3nguin, Tubehunter, Rick Sanchez and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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) Escapee.., BouncingBrain, W@nna-BE and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morne1600 Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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.

Frosty Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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 ScottCM and BouncingBrain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

JA-Q001 Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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.

We would have about an hour headstart on you - you're going to need some of this stuff to catch us pe3nguin and ahmedbadat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe3nguin Posted November 6, 2015 Share Might need to spike that red bull with something a little more potent than taurine to close that gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
