What do B runners want to do on 19/5?
Posted: 07 May 2019 16:30
I'm down to lead the B run on 19 May. I fancy doing something a bit different, i.e. a hundred-in-eightish. That would be 160km (100mi) at roughly 26kph (>16mph), implying >6 hours' riding, plus 2 stops = 8 hours BH to BH. However, there's no point in me leading such a ride if I'm (almost) the only one who fancies it. So I'd like to gauge interest. If you think you might be doing a B run on the 19th, please indicate a preference above.
A few notes:
1. The proposal is weather-dependent; I'm not doing a hundred-in-eightish if the forecast is very poor.
2. If there's a big majority in favour of one option, that's what I'll lead on the 19th. If there are good numbers interested in both, maybe we'll investigate the possibility of running both (e.g. combined run to stop #1, second leader then brings home the short run, while the long run continues to stop #2).
3. I'm labelling the proposal a hundred-in-eightish, because I'm not going to bust a gut to stay inside 8 hours BH to BH. If it's a tough day, or someone's struggling, we'll ride more slowly... and I won't be hurrying my bacon sarnie.
