Kylie Posted March 17, 2018 Share Some thoughts from a relative rookie DC rider but have completed 2 DC's one In 8hr in 2016 and the the other 6:49 (2017). Both years we finished with all 12. Last year we struggled to find female riders to join as a mixed team despite trying hard.Our team consisted of riders with CTCT time of between 3:02 and 3:30. We found that there are not many ladies willing to commit to the training schedule over 12 - 16 weeks. Required for sub 7hrs. They were either already in pro am type teams (sub 6 DC) or only willing to do social 8hrs or more. So it may be challenge finding 12 ladies for the team of a 7hr DC who are not already committed elsewhere. Agree, why not make the ladies team a sub 6 and go for podium? That sounds like more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierrrd Posted March 27, 2018 Share I'd love to do the Double Century this year, sub 6 or sub 6.30. Where would I start looking for teams? Here? I primarily do mountain running - This road racing thing is a fairly unexplored area for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubarra Posted March 27, 2018 Share So it may be challenge finding 12 ladies for the team of a 7hr DC who are not already committed elsewhere. Agree, I remember the struggle to get a sub 7 mixed team together few years back. Slim pickings but I guess Savage should at least give at go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted July 19, 2018 Share Agree, I remember the struggle to get a sub 7 mixed team together few years back. Slim pickings but I guess Savage should at least give at go We now have a full ladies team, which have a sponsor even! The other 3 teams are also full. Even talks of a 5th Pure Average social mixed team. Skubarra and Aaron_B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
