I'd say it was undulating. No real killer hills on it, but they present a challange when trying to keep the pace up.

Great ride Kev!

Anyone going to have a go at the Regatta Center? I think there is a TT on the 12 July, I think I will have a go. How about you zozza?

Howdy Hebden

I think I'll be there,
I like the idea of racing against the clock,
Any idea how many laps/km's PPCC race their ITT?

by **aeroslave** » Fri Jun 26, 2009 1:17 am

I will give it a go if its open to lesser grades.

If previous years are anything to go by,

it's possible that B Grade MMAS2-4 may be racing 24.8km,

Seven minute laps to be in the money :shock:

Yeah Right.. :roll:

Heard it from a member...

The PPCC Time Trial is open to all grades.

There is a 20km and and a 40km. Non PPCC members cannot win prize money but are welcome to join.

Zozz, I am definitely in. I just want my D grade legs to get a taste of the race of truth....

a 40km time trial around the Regatta would be the most boring event in the world. :lol:

Who does 20km and who does 40km?

I don't think you get a choice?
Your licence category will decide how far you ride :twisted:

i am MMAS1 which is 30-34?, so probably 40km then i guess.

by **zozza** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:53 pm

I had a geek at some previous results,
It seems that MMAS2-4 are up against guys like Eddie Salas and some better Avg's are about 40-42kmh???? :roll:

40-42 solo WT?
maybe i might just watch in awe from the sidelines
If its a windy day it will be a tough ride

by **Hebden** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:58 am

I am there for the 19th, canâ€™t wait, 20 or 40km don't really mind either way. I don't think Eddie Salas has anything to worry about from me though :lol:

by **aeroslave** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:13 pm

The way I understood it...you just rack up there and tell them if you want to have a go at 20 or 40kms....

40kms it is then. :twisted:

Never done a ITT before. Pacing is going to be...err... interesting. :lol:

Bugger you couldn't make it, Next time ok :wink:

by **Kev365428** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 8:37 am

Well done Zozz.
Impressive av speed there. How did it compare to other riders?

Kev.

by **Hebden** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 12:17 pm

I braved the cold with Zozza yesterday for my first ever TT. It was the annual ITT for both Penrith and Randwick Cycling clubs and we only had 8 takers for the 40km TT. :shock:

I managed an average 87% HRMax which got me 37.3kph avg over the 40kms (1h04m19s). Which put me 6th out of the 8 riders, 1st was 58min something I think. I am reasonably happy with the effort I maintained (though I was aiming for 90%), just wish it equaled a little more speed. :roll:

If itâ€™s made one thing clear to me its volume doesnâ€™t bring speed. I think I need more quality in my training, probably more rest too.

Still, it was good fun.

Don

its very possible. A few of the guys out here (MMAS4) that participated in the 2008 masters games rode 41km/hr average for 30km and it was not as flat as Regatta. On a real TT bike it definately is possible, the area around the finnish line and over the bridge will slow things down a little but overall, 20km at least is doable.

I'm going to give the masters games in 2010 a real bash out here, I'd like to do the TT meaning I'm going to haev to work out thresholds and even what darn bike I want to use. Maybe someone will loan me a new 2010 Merida Timewarp ?

Thanks Sandman,
Reckon I coulda gone a bit harder because I didn't feel like I wanted to hurl crossing the finish line and hopefully there is some room for improvement in the aero and equipment department.
Deffo love this style of racing.

Kevvy,
IIRC, I placed about 10th from about 17 riders in MMAS2-4,
Eddie did it in 25/26 minutes-ish :mrgreen:
