HdB Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 Starting in @ Best start time ever, and all I had to do was have a birthday... Unfortunately current fitness does not match this, so I will probably see LWB's tandem soon enough... 😅 Mamil and mecheng89 2

Fair to say that traditionally it is very difficult to go sub 3 from groups 2 and lower. Keep in mind though that current seeding may not be directly linked to previous years given less numbers, smaller groups etc. I note that there's only 1A-D this year where as previously it could have been F or G perhaps giving 2C a little more of a chance. 🤷♂️ (a little optimism never hurt LOL) MongooseMan 1

I'm also waaaaay off where I was 5/6 years ago so will just hang onto # for as long as possible. I'll be happy to hang on up Edinburgh drive but I think I'll be looking for passing groups on the blue route tbh. Buuuut if you do see a bright orange tandem with deep carbon rims and a power house 65yo on the back, say howzit, I'll be on the front suffering. mecheng89, DieselnDust, Scary Rider and 1 other 1 3

Has anyone on hub-land done this before? Asking for my father in-law. He is not happy being pushed to the Open groups, this being his 20th CTCT. His best shot is the Racetec stand at registration, very good chance of getting a sympathetic ear & possibility of improving his seeding. Especially if he has another result on Strava he can show them. Email & phone call - the outcome is usually "The computer says no!" 475 1

Thanks, you too! First &'s last year was faster than the first @'s, and both only about 4min slower than the first 1A's. Kliphard is an understatement! Next week's Herald should show just how screwed I'll be

mecheng89 Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Hang on a sec - I'm not 50+?! Why did they put me there? Will have to have a chat with Racetec to reevaluate. gerriemtb, HdB and DieselnDust 3
