Most sportives won’t publish results in any other form than in alphabetical order so as to emphasise the “challenge” nature of this type of ride. It’s a standpoint I completely agree with, but I also like to compare my performance with the field so took the liberty of putting the results on to a Google spreadsheet for anyone to have a look at. I’ve stripped out all the non-starters/non-finishers and a few obviously anomalous results but it still leaves some astonishing times. The fastest time recorded for the 102 mile option was, apparently, 4 hrs 2 mins, or an average speed of slightly over 25mph which I guess would be a solid pro standard for such a route. The fastest time for the 66 mile option is an even more incredible 2 hrs 10 mins, or over 30mph average speed. Hmm.
Anyway, here’s the spreadsheet.
For the record, my official time was:
6:44:49 which placed me 263rd out of 796 riders who completed the 102 mile route.
