Olympic mens TT **SPOILER**

[perplexed]

I have a meeting scheduled for 4pm. Bradley starts at 15.07, to finish by 4pm he will need to average (i believe) 49.8kmh or 31mph. I have no clue on these matters, but is that possible? Or do I need to get the meeting rescheduled to 4.15pm?

Nah, our confidence is high.

You can bring your meeting forward to 15.58...

Result. My prayers have been answered they have just cancelled the meeting for other reasons

I'm.....ahem, working from home today.

IIRC, that is exactly what his average speed was on the second long time trial in the Tour. And that was a somewhat lumpier and longer course...

Got a time trial of my own shortly. Ride to the shop and back to pick up some bread and milk before the TT's start

I'm in a meeting from 3 til 5, I have informed the chair (me) that it was a stupid time to schedule a meeting!

He did about 51km/h over the TdF 53.5km TT. And I think the TdF wasn't as flat as this.

I see the fans have been painting things on the road again. Some numpty has painted "SLOW" all over the place.

 

[BrumJim]

I'm blaming Waspyfecker.

I just got a call from my MD saying he has finished his meeting near the TT and is trying to resist the temptation to head over and have a snout.

Meanwhile I'm watching the text updates at http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/aug/01/olympics-cycling-time-trial-wiggins-live?newsfeed=true

When I cycle out of Herefordshire and into Brecknockshire, I see frequent signs alerting me to the presence of what I believe to be a SLOW ARAB.

As I am usually riding at some speed on Welsh descents, I cannot be sure if I have read the signs correctly.

They are painted on road surfaces at inconvenient places where I ought to be worrying about my speed rather than reading signs.

Anyway, I've never seen the chap they refer to and am unsure what I ought to do if I saw him.

I hope this has helped.

That's terrible for sanchez. Might be good for those around 4th-8th though.
