How far away is the start from HQ; I am assuming straight down the A40? Unfamiliar roads and roundabouts are making me nervous about possible unplanned deviations...

4ish miles ??

Do you want to share a lift?
I can come over to yours but only have Citroen C1 so would you be able to drive us and both bikes?
We're only 10 minutes apart on start line
-
Yes no problem; should be able to get two bikes in the back of my car if we take the wheels off. Text me a time.
-
A little dickie bird says that Kieron won with a 1:03:01 (which is apparently not only a course record it is also a Welsh 30 record too)
-
I suppose it would be Teresa...not too many active 30 courses in Wales. Is that a 30mph average?
-
if the event is 30 miles long and the winning time is more than 1 hour is the average speed likely to be more or less than 30MPH.and you're a scientist Chris!
Seriously awesome ride,how did you and the other OVW's get on Chris?(I have bad memories of that event!)
-
If the course is exact then 28.57mph
-
Conditions were tough, cold with a headwind back, I was rubbish!
-
I am slightly distressed the casual reader will now think I can't do simple maths Tom; please send Rob Jones to the back of the class.
AND I stayed ON COURSE today.
Very tough headwind on the return; passed several riders who were clearly spent.
Don't have any results as we went home early.
-
Sorry Chris!The whole club will now know that I seem to be dyslexic when it comes to reading posts!
-
And in fairness to Rob I notice from Strava that as a father of v young children he had very little sleep last night and did a much harder ride than me today so really the only person with egg on their face is yours truly
-
I could easily pretend that I was taking the p*** with that question....however I'll be honest and confess to being brain dead. Does not bode well for return to work tomorrow after a week off! I see Kieron won by about 7 minutes...so perhaps the most impressive thing is how he continues to motivate himself in these lower key events. He could probably ride round in zone 3 and still win!
-
The egg on face is all mine Tom! I actually thought about it for a moment too...and didn't have a clue! :-[
-
Actually Rob you may be right about zone 3!I calculate a 1.03 equates to 52.30 for a 25 which is pedestrian by Keiron's standards.I suspect the explanation for that is it was a pretty tough day
-
1 Kieron Davies 1;03;01
2 Philip Tucker 1;10;08 (just to show the gap from first)
13 Mark Rosser 1;14;59
24 Steven Madeley 1;18;00
28 Christopher Goodwin 1;19;11
35 Stephen Landeg 1;22;18
38 Andrew Harries 1;24;38
51 Ran 2 DNS APOL.
8 DNS including Rob Jones who has let himself slip ( including language wise) since his move to Ajax. They are obviously a bad influence.
-
Well done to all 51 esp the Oggies.Wot no apols Rob J?
-
Yes Rob, I only rode it so I could see you !
Chasing Strava KOM's instead, that's for boy racers!

Uh oh, what have I said now Chris? I'm not even a boy racer Steven, haven't managed to show up at a single event yet this season. I was ill for Betty, Herefordshire 25 was cancelled, and I slept through alarm (set at zero volume) for Bynnea 30!
