RR1 John Edwards Memorial ride Sunday 6th February 2022
« on: January 30, 2022, 05:46:46 PM »
This Sunday will be the first of the club's Reliability rides. Here is the route:- https://www.strava.com/segments/14027409

The idea is you ride at your own pace and choose a time you think you can ride the distance in. If you are not sure about the route or your pace then team up with other riders of similar ability.

For RR1 there are 2 options:-
50 miles in 3    hours = 16 mph ave speed     
50 miles in 2.5 hours = 20 mph ave speed

Start times are 9:00 for 3 hours and 9:30 for the 2.5-hour option.
Please sign on at least 15 minutes before your intending start time. i.e 9.00am for the 9:00am start.

No computers, watches or GPS devices are allowed,
so if you feel the need to record your ride then tape over or cover up screens.

To be 'reliable' or 'qualify' in RR1 you have to finish + or - 10 minutes of your intended time.

 The finish is at 'Stalling cafe' (used to be Hannah's cafe & vale kitchen)
I'll be doing the timing please be prompt in signing on and remember to let me or other riders know if you don't intend to complete the ride.
please post your intended start times and which ride your going for ;D

I'll have a crack at 09:30 too. If only to get an extra 30 mins in bed.

The weather forecast is not great :( If the rain is not too heavy with the 40 mph winds I'll go for the 9:30 start!

With the weather not looking good we will postpone the ride

And pick a date before the oggies training camp in Mallorca

I was looking forward to a 45mph tail wind 8)

Good to see a decent turnout this morning in cold and windy conditions.

7 riders started at 9:00am for the '50 in 3' They were:- Paul Longthorn, Tony Mansell, Richard Bowmer, Richard Lewis, Mark Jones, Reece Adams and Greg Brett

5 riders started at 9:30 for the '50 in 2.5'. These wer:- Paul Nicholas, Nico Doria, Paul Rosser, Mark Rosser and Rob Cowell.

The following riders 'qualified' as reliable!

Greg Brett 2:53:01
Tony Mansell 2:53:01
Paul Rosser 2:25:17
Mark Rosser 2:24:57
Rob Cowell 2:24:57

Well done to all riders, I believe this is the first RR I've timed where everybody finished.
