So that I will be able to refresh my memory in the future:
Saturday, May-16, Lynn did the Brasstown Bald ride in Georgia, with her friend Mike from the x-country trip.

See the 15th finisher.
Lynn said her cycle computer had ~ 6 hrs, 18 min of in-motion riding.
Mike finished 14th.
That was Saturday.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, May-18, she & Mike did Mt. Mitchell.
Started in the 6:35 am wave.
Lynn said the big clock at the finish showed 6 hrs, 48 min --> adjust for wave --> 6 hrs, 43 min.
I think Lynn's "finish picture" shows 6:48:21 on the big clock.
She also said that her cycle computer showed about 6 hrs, 35 min of ride time.
Mike finished just a bit ahead of her.
Apparently neither Lynn nor Mike turned their chip-timiing devices back in. Does that mean that they will not be recognized by the FreeWheelers as having completed the ride?
timing chips changed at the last moment, or so i was told. they are disposable. i asked the woman tagging my bike what to do with it and she said to just throw it away.
ReplyDeletewow...wish i could ride AoMM that fast...next year - maybe i'll try to get my time down to under the 8:11hr ride time i had.
did she not stop at many of the rest stops? i ask cause cycle computer time almost = to "official" time....
stopped twice. 2 or 3 minutes each time.
ReplyDeleteWhen one rides w/ Lynn, there are no long stops. Get off the bike, get addtln fluids, get back on bike and go. She was always like that, but last year when she had to do so many long, nearly all-day training rides (195, 180, 160, 150, 150, 140, ...) she got even more determined not to waste time.
