Looks like there are going to be big groups across the age cats????????‍♂️

 

Defs not riding in the V's.

[Prince]

Got mine. F group at 6.45

I see the field is significantly smaller at 11624

I'm out at 8;25. Assuming the load time of 8:05 is when they will put us in the start area?

Friend of mine is starting 15 minutes earlier. Gives me something to chase. @Chadvdw67 I am coming for you ????

It's was supposed to be capped at 15k entries, so perhaps a reason why entries are still open.

I've been putting some effort in, to stay semi-fit.
Now to up the ante for the next 3 weeks and hit that anaerobic system hard.

I think physically I'm good, judging by last week's efforts with Pritzen, but I don't think my head is in the game after no racing for all these months.

I'll put my bikehub name on my race number.

based on ctct I'm aiming for a 3h10

[shaper]

VF start... this is going to be fun!!

[Gr3mlin131]

Seeded for E, but might be helping push people back in X. Not fit enough to hit Sub 3 this year, might as well enjoy the ride and help others actually finish. 

[WR 1.0]

I for me..... Zero racing in 2 years and limited riding is going to make it an interesting day out.
