Tour of Cambridge Gran Fondo
As a spreadsheet geek I get frustrated with results being split by age group etc in a PDF document so I have put it into an online excel file if anyone is interested.
Updated the file so now has filters at the top and list of stats like how close you were to qualifing.
Scroll down to the bottom of my homebrew webpage "Ctrl + End" or just scroll down

It felt like a race to me, saw so much proper ruthless riding for three and a bit hours!
No chill = race.
The licence requirements for the World CHampionships are detailed here:

You don't have to have a Racing licence- I think a "Cycling for all" licence in BC terms is a Ride membership?
There is no way around this, you need to cough up to 'British Cycling' for the following:
1) RACE Membership level which allows you to purchase an optional 'full race licence'
2) FULL RACE LICENECE
3) couple of quid for admin fees on check out.
It's a bit outrageous really, if you brought this at the beginning of the year it was something like £81 for me I remember although I believe you get money off buying it halfway through the year. You can see why the CTC (now Cycling UK) got all upset a few years ago as BC nicked all their members.
Personally to get me into the race cat at ToC I brought an LVRC membership and race licence at a barry bargain £14 for the year, although it won't serve me outside of Blighty.
They now have the footage of the event on YouTube

Thanks for this.
I've done this event 3 times now and didn't qualify for the first time, disappointingly for me as I had permission to go to Albi if I did!
However thanks to this I can see that I wasn't robbed by the 15 minutes I spent trying and failing to fix a knackered tub by the side of the road and the following slow 5 mile roll back to the Arena. Just not fast enough, which is easier to accept.
Also I can be thankful that I wasn't the guy holding 2 bits of a Pinarello which used to be a frame about 2 miles from the end, there's always someone worse off...
And thanks again to the guy with the Caffe Mariposa sealant for stopping and trying to help my lost cause, he obviously didn't think he was in a race either
Feel for the 3 people who missed out on qualifying by less than 1 second!
I'm sure they're not really that bothered...it's not like they had entered a race.
Looks like a race to me.. UCI racing licence required for the masters age group event..?
It is a race isn't it?
It felt like one last year...
Fair play, hold my Hands up, they have a sportive and a race.
Managed to add some filters to make it easier for people to sort. Just click on the column header and sort away.

Good that, thanks
