I could be wrong but I think we beat team blue by about 10 seconds for third place man crossing. I haven't worked out the other teams yet:smile:

Well done the whites!

And also the greens who kept going after the worst luck...

We were lucky to hold off the Blues by the looks of it. I thought I was well clear but turns out because I jumped the start I was 3rd rider? And only 2 seconds head of bridgy on the road who was also 3rd rider. Is that right?

Yes flatter would suit that format better for sure. You spent a lot of time trying to ascertain if your riders were cooked or just struggling with terrain. We kept together though Non Reds, and it looks as though everyone struggled with the drafting. If Kipster had got a better start we would have been significantly closer to the team ahead I think.
Good game folks.....good game.

well done @Insomina I found draughting really difficult and felt I messed up the 1st half - also I might of over done it recently, that's the trouble when the better weather comes your doing both road & virtual rides. Thanks for a great ride

That was a very hard course to draft on - felt like I got little or no drafting benefit at all! Spent most of the time trying to catch up to get in a draft and then it all broke up again :heat:

We stuck together though:hugs:

Sorry bridgy, I think I kept breaking it up. I am afraid Bill will be a bit frustrated with my lack of tactical acumen. I will try harder on the next one which should suit group riding more. Personal best times for both of us I think:okay:

I think we all struggled to keep that one tight Bob. As you say, the next one should hone our skills. Better to be in at the deep end though, and get easier.

Team not red, just looked at Geoff's post re timing and I screwed up the start time, I was waiting for the timer to hit 8 minutes 30 seconds when I should've got in at 8:00 on the timer. That 30 seconds would've made a big difference. Feel free to throw expletives at me.......

Team White = 31:19
Team Not Red = 33:47
Team Blue = 33:49
Team Green = n/a

Just two seconds between Red and Blue, so I guess that Handicap was spot on!

Perhaps the Handicap for White was a little generous, but you guys went quick.
Whorty, you took over 3 minutes of your previous time.

Team Green looked to on a pace for just under 33:00, so Handicap was perhaps a minute out?

Prize for best bunching goes to Not Red, with just 5 seconds between 1st and 3rd, which kept you just in front of Blue
Blue also bunched well, with only 10 seconds between 1st and 3rd.

Hope you all enjoyed it, please let me know who is up for next Tuesday and if anyone else wants to join in.

Also, give a shout out here if any of you plan a team re-run to improve your standing.

sorry for letting you both down - cut my ride short outside so i had plenty of time but internet and computer played up - i dont even deserve a DNF more like a DNS !!
