Only 16 riders, and looking at the time gaps at the finish of yesterday's race I'm not sure there were many "blobs" of riders for very long - groups of 2 or 3 at best. Also, difference in abilities means we're effectively not all racing each other anyway, just those closest to us. In a big ZRL race or something I'd probably agree with you, but in a small race like ours I still think there's something to think about

If I go road I can probably hang on to the lead group on flat sections, but then get dropped as soon as we get to the climbs.

On gravel bike no chance of hanging on to you lead guys but I think I should be able to hold on to the next group back (i.e. behind me Rich and Michael last night) and then have a big advantage when we hit the dirt sections. But not enough of an advantage I catch anyone up the road (assuming they all had road bikes)

So question is, would any of this really change the position I come in the race? Something to ponder when I look at the course in more detail, but I think TRON feels the obvious option as always

2000 miles?

Yep, as @bridgy says, I am retired so I have the time. That is a lot of Zone 2!!

My interpret of last nights results. Shout if I’ve messed up anyones times 😇
I’ve assumed we are handing out the points 20, 19, 18, etc rather than ZRL style.

@Peter Salt pipped me to the line @IrishAl so we both have the same time but he’s one place higher in the finishing order 👍

Great table Al

Didn't I beat you in the sprint for the line?

Every point counts you knows

Aww, do I not get a point for starting but not finishing?

Yup, looking at the in-game table I was ahead of @BurningLegs by 0.2s and @CXRAndy ahead of @IrishAl by 0.3s so times are correct to the second but places swapped.

As @Joffey and @Breedon took part but didn't finish, I think we should include them on the table with last time +2 minutes but probably 0 points.

Na, leave us off. No points no time

I’m not sure this one’s going to need a survey

Nick, I feel safe in the knowledge that if I leave this forum the judgement department will be in good hands.

0 points is a bit generous. Think of all the possibilities with negative points

It's a quality table @IrishAl but I don't see a column for excuse points

@kipster has a point. Negative points from -20 for the best excuses... that would make the table very in-toe-estring

Can we have an option in the poll for negative points if someone starts, but bails part way through?
