I'm more of a "time over team, lets see if we can get 6 to the finishline" type of rider, makes for far more entertaining war stories.

Problem is I haven't been in the front 6 of a team since 2019, its getting embarrassing 🙈!

Amen

The Kings of the Atlantic Seaboard banter is hotting up, and this account is hilarious.

I’m interested to know what happens after you get dropped. Do you still go hard till the finish or is it like now I’ll just have some fun and enjoy the event instead.

The size 8-12 socks are a little tight if your feet are bigger than EU42. I guess they’re made for race feet and not social feet

7:05 start?

We're 2mins before you 😉

Don't forget to factor neutral zones in when setting your average speed (unless you're planning on doing a 4:30?  )

Very cool.  Will see on the line then.

Yah, totally forgot about the neutral zone stuff which should be factored in.

We did the spectator thing a few years back.

 

LOTS of dropped riders.   Also many top teams race ahead when one of their riders gets a mechanical.  So a fair number of "lone riders" may still be very strong riders !

 

They were forming new "dropped groups" and powered on as best they could.

 

 

Must be an interesting ride back with a whole new group around you, but a common goal forging new friendships.

With the "new" compulsory feeding zones it adds an interestingly dynamic to the race.

For weaker or heavier riders dropped on Tradouw or Op de Tradouw, the 1st rest stop gives them 40mins free time to get back in the game. That's if your team decides to use the full 40mins allocated to their rest of course. It does however mean your rest will be a lot shorter but 40mins is a long time.

At the 2nd stop you get another 30mins to latch back on. So it's always a good idea to never give up if you still have legs as you might still be able to be of use to your team in the race.

Just stretch them out. They’re nice socks.

tail light is really nice. Overall a glejker goodie bag. Everything is useful and good quality
