Hi Rick Google to the rescue

OK, all Handicap Chase rides approved and 10 results showing in the league!

Well done to everyone who took part, especially to Berty, Tommy, Bridgy, Jeff and Rob, all of whom improved markedly over their previous best!

Results, corrected for Moving Time + allocated Start Time

Boxers, it has 40 miles downhill, you'll win by miles.

You can definately give them a ring to see what they can do Bob. It may even be the case they have rooms left if we go directly through them. Maybe ask if it's possible for 3 of us to share? Then take it from there depending what they say.

No rooms at the inn...
Realistically, how do you/we feel about 3, you Andy and I, to a room? A bit much perhaps?

Interesting that the moving times are slower than earlier in the year-firmware changes perhaps? I noticed on Gowerton that as soon as i stopped pedaling on a descent, even 5-7%, speed would drop off dramatically. I had to keep turning pedals.

Cheeky pup!

Adam had mentioned a specific one and I couldn't be bothered trawling back through all the pages to try and find the details!

Dunno if its worth 400 quid to do a Sportive.......

Are they slower? I read that as 5 people going faster than before and 3 going slower - unless I'm misunderstanding your point?

How long did you wait after stopping pedaling? Because I've found that although the speed initially starts to drop off, if you wait (and hold your nerve) it does eventually go blue and picks the speed back up again

If Tommy has booked a family room, i'll doubt they would mind 3 blokes sharing. My room is a single, but I will check if i can get two single beds in. I dont mind sharing with Tommy(I have babel fish, plus he has a posh accent like the Mrs ), We can sort something out. Ask for cancellations list just in case rooms pop up.
