    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.

    Happy results stalking

    Other option I’ve just found is to go to the Velo Birmingham site, go to results, click review results and select the download link (little down arrow at the right).  You then get a spreadsheet and load it into Excel/Numbers.

    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’

    Top 25% – quite happy with that for my first 100 🙂

     

    I was also in A3 and there were definitely a few points where the road was too narrow.  I didn’t find the field really spread out until the last 20 miles.

    My impressions were that it was pretty well organised with a few annoyances.  Picking up the pack was simple enough although no reason why it couldn’t have been posted – I suspect local politics were in play here to get people into the city.  

    Could have done with better information on the day as to why the start was delayed – I didn’t find out until well afterwards and I suspect people would have been more understanding while waiting in the cold.  Thank goodness it wasn’t raining.

    I didn’t stop until about mile 63 but I understand that feed stops ran out of food and water.  The latter is unforgiveable.

    I found the route challenging but not impossible but from some of the comments on Facebook it seems like several participants were surprised by how tough some parts were.

    The end was a little chaotic but the free beer was very welcome.  I’d certainly do it again and it sounds like the organisers have taken feedback on board.

    I was in an early wave – A3, supposedly starting at 7:30 – and it was pretty crowded for much of the course.  Unlike RideLondon, which benefits from wide London roads at the start before things thin out, the B’Ham Velo was mostly on narrow two lane residential roads and country lanes.  I certainly felt that I needed to slow down at times to feel safe.

    Some sections of road were a bit tight and narrow for the amount of bikes and those parts tended to be the steep sections. Lots say the route was harder than ride London.

    I did! A good day out despite some teething troubles.  This was my second 100 mile event this year (I did RideLondon too) and my second ever.  My longest training ride was about 100k (62 miles) although I was doing 80+ miles a weekend quite regularly.  Worst problem on the day was neck and back pain.  Endurance was fine although I could’ve done without the hill at mile 80ish!

    Sooo….what was the general road-occupancy like ? It seems to be yet another closed-road event where recumbents are banned for no particularly good reason – especially since tandems are allowed and they have probably a similar speed dynamic to ‘bents. Even Ridel London now allow them after a trial last (?) year (and tandems the previous year).

    I thought it was a great day
    I thought it was a great day out -I worked out I must have passed 6000 people having started at the back- spent most of the ride on the right hand side it’s a great day out flying through red lights and junctions towns villages without being bothered about by cars etc and not breathing in exhaust fumes on climbs. Having started at the back the folk in front got all the puncture s and I got motivation in folk to pass and wheels to ride in.
    If you can do 50miles you can do 100. Just put your name down for next year and you’ll be doing it.

    Would be keen to hear if people enjoyed the event, but not sure if I am yet up to doing 100 miles in one day
