Patchelicious Posted March 3, 2017 Share Because we will mess on ourselves, the rule is actually for our own good.I think it's more a disc brake issue. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted March 6, 2017 Share Registration was quick and easy + The timing seems to have worked properly today (if you ignore the bit where it just disappeared from Racetec's website) So I guess 2 of the main issues of last year is sorted out Pace in the amateur bunch was much harder than I anticipated, been a while since I have been dropped halfway through the race! My first impressions of this event are good, looking forward to the rest of the week Tristand and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubarra Posted March 6, 2017 Share Average speed of the amateur bunch? Want to try this tour. Maybe not the best day to use as comparison as course was flat and just a little wind, but main bunch in amateur team group averaged close to 39km/h If i have to compare with PPA rides it was somewhere between A & B bunch pace, especially the second half. There were a few significantly slower teams as well though that dropped off quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first impressions of this event are good, looking forward to the rest of the week We could have received our time trial start times a bit earlier. The SMS only came through at 22:30 on a day after a long race, IE after bed time. The pace in the amateur bunch was definitely harder than most races,got dropped 55km in. The amateur bunch finished barely later than the VA's. Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubarra Posted March 7, 2017 Share I dont know why CSA has to approve the start times? Ja ^&*% knows what CSA spent 10 hours doing after they got the results from Racetec. Can't imagine it can be that difficult to come up with an provisional starting schedule and tweak it later if really necessary.
