F100

[Robert]

Any one ridden this before? Whats the course like? Worth a visit?

I was thinking about this one too cos my brother lives only a few miles away. And I missed the 100 miles bronze standard by 1'18".

Fairly sure Dominic's ridden it.

Robert and Phil,

If it is the F1/100 I have ridden the old and the new. The new version is basically the F1/50 elongated at either end to make it into 80 miles in a couple of laps then onto the a smaller finishing circuit. Again I think twice. This is a mixture (50/50) of dual carriage way and single carriage way. There is a drag on the dual carriage way which is nothing really but stings the legs a bit at the end.

Is it worth the trip? I think like all TT courses it depends on the day. I set my PB on the old version of this course, which was supposed to be slower.

Is it faster than the local 100 courses? I would say so.

Thanks Dominic for the insight, will chew it over.

Hi,

I've got the startsheet and the course description. The only thing that puzzles me is where it says "Girtford underpass". Is it [url=http://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=52.139836,-0.298047&spn=0.008455,0.015557&t=h&z=16]this bit[/url] where you appear to do a sort of figure of 8 (coming from the North)? That seems to be about the right distance. Just looks a little fiddly.
