Hello

 

If any of you wanted to see the Velo Birmingham results in a more searchable format with ranking I have put them on my homebrew 1 page website. Scroll to the very bottom or just press Ctrl + End to jump to the bottom of the site.

 

To search just click on the down arrow on the right of yellow name cell.  Click on text filters “contains”  and enter the name. eg Dan Lloyd from GCN was 83rd.

nah, you can see from the splits that they didn’t complete all the sections.

5h29 and 553rd for me, would have been less if we hadn’t been on a mission to find an espresso at the pub at the last stop 🙂

Seems unlikely – that’s as fast as the quickest Ride London time, yet with more 600m more climbing and with only a peloton of three at that pace.

If it’s genuine then those ladies should turn pro!

 

I just updated the results and those ladies are no longer going pro I’m afraid.  

 

Interesting how the results change over a week for something that should be 100% automated.

Not sure about the organisers being badly prepared but if you can’t ride for more than 25 miles into a 100 mile event without having to stock up on water, gels & food then you probably need to sort your own shit out as well?

 

Erm, I’m not sure why you’re questioning the “truth” in this. The friend that I referred to is an experienced rider. Do you think he was lying when he told me that more than one food stop had run out and there was no water available? Plenty of residents were very kindly helping out riders, but this sort of thing shouldn’t have happened. It was water that was more of a problem than food, obviously, because it’s kind of difficult to carry enough water for a 100 mile sportive, right? It’s absolutely poor organisation, there’s no excuse for it at all. Organisers should know that some riders will be well prepared and some won’t, and to be cater for everyone.

The 55 mike stop that ran out of food and water. 

The staff at the stop gave the excuse that not enough people stopped at the 25 mile stop and then stocked up at the 55 more than expected and planned for. 

I saw people stopping at a garage for supplies so I can easily believe some knocked on doors; why would you doubt that?

Given your final comment it absolutely was poor planning.

If you don’t fancy playing

If you don’t fancy playing with Excel yourself, here’s a graph of percentage ranking vs finishing times (it’s actually the cumulative density function).  For example, if you finished in 7h23m you are average (top 50%).  I’ve excluded DNFs.

I kind of see both sides to this.  An event of this nature will attract lots of non-regular riders in the same way the London marathon does – so if you’re a relatively inexperienced cyclist with not many miles in your legs then taking the opportunity to stop every 20 miles is probably welcome.  That said, I did see plenty of riders without water bottles, which is just madness.   Personally, I don’t want to stop unless I absolutely have to, which is usually prompted by a comfort break!

Top 300 – not bad considering I didn’t really ride it quickly, and stopped at three food stops. Overall, I was disappointed with the route tbh – thought it would have more ‘real’ climbing in it, and the ‘KOM’ was nothing more than a lump – I do bigger climbs on my commute 🙂

Nope, I can’t see it either. All I see is a site full of links, with a search not bringing up any results for ‘Velo’, ‘Birmingham’ or ‘Results’

Scroll all the way down to the bottom.  It is an online Excel file that you search on.

PS Just just added some text above to make it easier to find as a text search
