  Blokes! Poor editing!

    I saw the P-Train (Muldowney) this morning on his commute, he was pretty happy with Sub 3h, secretly disappointed to be pipped by Tony Gaudry by 4 sec in the 45-49
    
    Peak were taking this really seriously again.
Notso Swift

Glorious weather (for the toughest day I have ever had on a bike) with only a mild wind and not of the 20kph stuff forecast.if it had of been 12 hours later it would have been a different story

I did see one accident that looked pretty bad coming down to Forrest, it wasn’t on a tricky corner so maybe 2 riders clipped wheels(?) Anyway, it wasn’t pretty and the Ambulance was involved so I hope all was OK and that was more precautionary.

  One guy was apparently carted off to hospital – his back seized up after an accident (dunno whether it was the one you saw).
  
  Pace was consistently fast all day – like a handicap with 200-odd riders in each bunch.

    I think I saw the same crash as Notso, one rider down, immobile but concious, lotttts of blood on the road. Ambo’s were rolling out of Forrest shortly later.

    I guess that would be it, because he was laid flat seemed to be talking but they were not moving him off the road.
    
    Wasn’t fast for me – I took an hour and a half more than last year!

What a great ride, worth every cent of the entry cost and by far the best organized event I have experienced. I have promised myself to do more than 1 weeks training in preparation for next year though.

Thanks to all the ‘pros’ who dumped their empty gels on the road throughout national parks, and out front of people’s properties. The same people that put up with us blocking access to their homes for several hours on a Sunday. You clowns are one of the reasons that these great events may cease to exist. Luckily I didn’t see anyone in the act… You would’ve copped an absolute earful.

Other than that, another fantastic day / weekend.

What a simply amazing event. Didnt do last years but now I’m totally hooked. How the AGF manage to pull off organising an event to that standard is beyond me – volunteers, staff, locals, everyone involved – you’re all legends…
I wasnt fast by anyone’s definition, and was definitely caught out by the pace as soon as the first timing mat was spotted, but I’ll be back next year with better training, a better bike / gears that actually work, and a promise to go hard.
Having ridden the course, how anyone can get round that in less than 2:55 is beyond me… I’ll admit to spending a little too much time on Strava looking at Tom Leaper’s ride stats and all I can say is Wow…
