[rufus]

went up saturday morining. there were about 5 rides heading up on my way down

I went up Sunday morning. Got up there about 8am.
Didnt pass anyone on my way up. Does that mean I was 1st up on Sunday?
Only time I will ever be 1st up
I did pass 4 riders on my way down. Took me 20min to thaw out.

YES for that. Not looking too promising lately.
Might be following a snow plough up!!

aiming for 1:20 - 1:17hrs

Go for it. I think on Sunday I went a bit hard up to The Springs. I should hold back a bit, save some for last section.
Rode my first TT last year. Did 1:31
If I could get it 1:25 great, 1:20 bonus

i needs a lift from near Soho.....anyone?

maybe to just the fern tree tav then i can ride to Longley for a warm up

[BarryTas]

who is up for a FLAT spin ride to New Norfolk on the 14th ?

[mcdurdin]

Barry, I'll be riding from my place so can't give you a lift sorry. Just ride up Strickland in bottom gear, will warm your legs up without wearing you out Give yourself 1/2 hour recovery and you'll be grand.

New Norfolk via Collinsvale would be the go I reckon.

[BarryTas]

FLAT New Norfolk, or Boyer side out

[RobRollin]

I havent made a decison if I am going to ride or not, it's not going to help me in two weeks for the Longford to Campbelltown race.

[BarryTas]

oh it will both mentally and having the HR up for that long

[BarryTas]

confirmed - day after ride - 14/03

8:30 (AT) the cenotaph - new norfolk - route decided on the day

[rufus]

I am riding to TT thru Hobart via Strickland Ave. Plan to get to Longley about 7:30.
Take it easy for a warm up.
Everyone have a great ride.

Great day, awsome weather, good turn out and well run. i think this event is going to go off the next few years with genesys running the event.

[rufus]

Yeah this is a great event !!
Can't believe it's in our backyard.
Next weekend we can back it up with a Century Ride.

Cant find any report in Mercury today. Are interim results to be found somewhere?

[mcdurdin]

I got my results after the presentations from their computer... Seems they are a bit tardy getting the full results online. A bit disappointing in this age of instant gratification!

[master6]

Where do you expect to see the results?

Interesting entry numbers. Looks like 132 this year. 2009 appears to have been a peak, with 149 entries.

[mcdurdin]

Impressive time Iain!
