So what was your average speed in the end Stu?

by **Stu Merckx Man** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 10:16 pm

oh yeh forgot that. 23.2 mph, a tad faster than training group, but its flatter and shorter than the club run so not nearly as hard i would say

Yeah and no traffic lights and junctions like on clubrun!

That's pretty fast still, especially for a small-ish group. Ours was 24.6

What I find the hardest is recovering fast enough after taking a long turn at the front or chasing a break in order to tag onto a wheel when the bunch goes past you. Sometimes I get this horrible feeling I'm about to get dropped and hanging for dear life.

Also there was a time when I was trying on my own to get back onto the group that got away. They weren't far ahead, but were working as a group whereas I was into the wind all the time. For half a lap I chased without getting any closer, and in the end had to wait for the bunch to pass me.

Stu, you beat me! I only got a 7th in my first! Damn, just you wait til easter, im gonna kick your ass!!!

So get your third cat then and join me for the addiscombe cc promoted surrey leauge race on the 31st march...

I find if people shout at you for something that was definately dodgy then it sometimes pays to say sorry to them when the race has finished. But otherwise, definately dont be put of by them, they're probably the fat slow guys anyway! Just make sure you beat 'em!
