2013 Time trialling Forum/Club BAR Competition

ROLL UP ROLL UP FOR THE GREAT FORUM BAR COMPETITION (FoBAR)

After it’s inaugural success in 2013, there is now an annual Forum Best All Rounder (BAR) competition. The competition is based on the historic British Best All Rounder (BBAR) competition (read all about it here and here), but since the aim of this competition is to get some more of us entering and racing some time trials, we’ll keep the distances a bit shorter.

Rules
* To be eligible for the FoBAR riders must submit their best two times of the season for both 10mile and 25mile time trials. The winner will be the rider who achieves the fastest average speed across all four rides.
* Because it's just for fun, the rules can be pretty lax, but all qualifying rides need to be genuine TTs, no home spun strava segments please. Local club events, or open competitions are all fine, so long as you’ve got a number pinned to your back.
* Submitted time should be the time keeper's, not whatever it happens to say on the Garmin. If you want to post a link (or hastily snapped phone photo) of the time sheet as "proof" then thats cool, but it's just for fun so we'll trust you if you don't.
* To enter, just click on the big red link below…

Spreadsheet Instructions
* Pretty self explanatory, but just enter your name and your best times for each distance. "10a" refers to your best 10mile time and "10b" to your second best time, so when you beat your seasons best, remember to edit your "b" time as well. Don't go buggering about with all the other columns because you'll only break it, and since I plagiarised it from another site I won't know how to fix it. :ninja:.
* The FoBAR is only run over 10 and 25mile distances, however because this is all just for a bit of fun, we encourage you to ride some longer events (e.g. 50mile) and post them up on the spreadsheet as well :-).

Are you able to remove the "example" it's upsetting me. ;) :lol:

Ha! Most of those times belong to a real rider on another forum (from whence I stole the spreadsheet). I think the relevant rider was known as PNUT and the only times I made up were their "b" times - Impressive huh?


My next attempt will be on Wednesday on the H10/17R course in Southmoor. Records show that while I've never raced a 10 on that course, my PB at 25miles was set on the same stretch of road (albeit extended) in 2010. Also, comparing the last 10 winning times, the H10/17R is on average a minute and a quarter quicker than the Hardwick course last week. Either way I'll be hoping for an improvement :-)

Also I just realised I've only got one 25 on the cards so I might have to start looking for another :-)

H10/17R cancelled tonight due to excess road spray. Subsequently it was also discovered there was an RTA on the course up near the turn around so no racing tonight. Shame because it's probably a minute and a half quicker than the course last week.

Also...

Roll up, Roll up for the forum BAR. Surely more people than Ade, Clare and I have raced this year? Jack... Jon... Conehead...?
