Fitz Challenge - 2011 Edition. Who's in and which one?

[markm]

This was my first Fitz's, and I did the 105. Based on the elevation map I thought it'd be similar or potentially easier than the 105 BCBR earlier in the year; I definitely underestimates the bit around Pierces Creek. It didn't help that my riding partner got two flats; one just after the start and one just before Tharwa. Legs cooling down == not good.

A nice day for a ride, so long as you finished early enough!

Just looked now - seems fixed... at least for my cat.

Wherever did you find a bicycle for a cat?! Sorry.... practising dad jokes obviously.

My time seemed right. Equal 50th for the 50km. Hey, my goal was to finish my first ever event, and I did that.

hahah glad im not the only one who was thinking about his cat

i was going to post "meow" but thought it would be pathetic. do mum jokes count?

I don't now why they bothered listing times or places when they didn't measure or observe the finish. considering they were an hour off for me !!
pointless...

[scotto]

Massive inconsistencies.

yep! me, scotto and a mate all rolled across the start and finish line together. Our respective places - 199, 272 and 258

and no sign of the orange 165km riders in the photos.

i remember last year riding past three photographers. didnt see one this year...

i did see one orange rider. page 46 at the finish. the schwabinator....

Don't knock the timing too much or they mightn't do it next year. It is only a guide and finding I was above the mid-point in the 105km gave me an idea of how the 70 year old body is standing up. Now I just need to get them to include age brackets so I can really get competitive in my age group!

You can do that every Sunday morning during Summer and every Saturday afternoon during Winter - http://www.actvets.cc/

But you have a few years to improve. I don't expect to get any faster.
