I'll be there 

Starting up the engine after many months

[Wannabe]

I'll be there too. First "race" after the CTCT, and the first PPA race in a few years (my seeding of K reflects that.  )

Not entirely unfit, but definitely not race fit. Gonna be an exercise in hanging on for as long as possible.

Always a fun fast one at 78 kms . Looking forward to lining up on Sunday, seems like it might get a bit windy.

First time at this event. When you say "fast", how fast do you mean? If i say average 30kmph normally at CTCT, should i be aiming for 10% faster average speed at this event? 20%?

easily 20% faster provided it's not too windy on the day.

Looking forward to this event!! 

 

In for some interesting weather, a 30km/h Northerly. 

 

Obviously summer wind has not arrived yet

Our average speed last year was 39.8 last year out of A. Pretty sure that's not the fastest ever, though. Hold on to your hats!

Pace was on at the foot of NeverEnder Hill and never slowed down.

I was on my limit during the attacks through Atlantis Industria.

 

Slept like a well fed baby that night.
