2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted February 10, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 10am for me unless those pesky ayrshironians turn up. Never going to make up 30 mins on gruppo 2 but who cares? I reckon the 10am group is going to need a pace of between 4 and 5 kph faster than the 930 bunch. I think you're going to need the pesky Ayrshironians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieB Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hate the route but hope to be there...though the pain and mental anguish of a 2 hour plus turbo session is actually quite intriguing..... Not wishing to stir anything up but if people want the pace to go up and the bunch to move more effeciently stopping the really long spells on the front might be a start - when did we start riding like this? Peace, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 & when did we start the 25mph pace line from the gun? Steady pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 George, To be fair that is an entirely seperate issue ......but agreed sustainable pace made more effecient by regular changes at the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Guys, The time by individuals spent at the front has been fairly settled through the winter, as has the pace over the piece. Them that feel strong are tending to do a longer turn, them that don't going through quicker and returning to the bunch. Wholly accept the windy conditions of late will dictate shorter spells, but let's not split hairs, I thot once we got ourselves sorted out we did work pretty well together. The other point about the high pace from the gun.....well aye.....I was red lining due to feeling crap on the day and the rate of knots we were doing, but it was wholly unsustainable over such a route on such a day as Sunday - surely better to start steady and ride into the route (particularly if guys have cooled down) allowing for a stronger finish, than to burn your matches in the first half hour. I think it was the pace rather than long spells (not that they were overly long IMO) that caused the disjointed bunch. From a skinny's point of view, we tend to agree to go steady on the climbs to keep the group together or have a regroup at the top, but then proceeed to blast along the flats with little regard for them who are not roullers. I realise its horses for courses and we all have our strengths and weaknesses but to be splintering a bunch and asking guys to dig deeper than they might normally do in the first half hour does seem daft to me if the group has greater overall strength in its numbers. Totally of the view that if you're bust and get dropped in the last 10 miles then rule # 5 applies, but the first 10......hmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted February 11, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Andros, are the fullarton not recruiting? I'd miss you Georgeous Gawn, gie's a kiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself need to be more aware of my pace when moving to the front of the bunch and I'm working that this. That said we could decide on the kind of starting pace and changes to pace over the course if we're interested in chasing Groups 1 and 2. Everything else follows from that.

Guest EPCC Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 My suggestion for Sundays pace Start hard to the bridge go harder to Sinclair street go very hard to A82 then put the hammer down all the way to Houston then sprint to Johnstone easy Alternatively stick Paul and Andy on the front and hang on ginty001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
