Bynea R30/6
« on: April 17, 2015, 10:30:35 AM »
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...

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!)

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
