Brisbane Fixed Gear Criteriums

Did my weekly facebook log on and saw some dude bragging about doing the back of coot-tha in 8 minutes on his fixie. I chuckled.

Thats BS hey, right!? He’s gotta be talking about some stupid starting point only he adheres too… what of time you, Cons and JJ doing?

My best is 8:02, at least on the segment I use. I know cons and Mikel are in full blown training camp to beat that. Dunno about JJ, but he’d probably beat me and DK would smash me too.

But yeah, he’s fucking kidding himself. I was tempted to chuck a scott and start slagging him off, but then I logged off, listened to some mogwai and get all Zen instead.

Sub 10:00 is good going, I think I have done around 10:00 but I hate short climbs

8:32 or something for the back, Car park to KOM. I dont like it, well my 39/23 doesnt.
6:20 for the front, T intersection to round about.

I calling this kent out… Starva link or it didn’t happen

Are you gonna be on the coast at Christmas? My wife and I are driving up for a few weeks. Let’s go ride up the old hill climb and sunrise road then get lycra clad haircuts at sip sop’s

But yeah, call this dude out Dug. I’m sure you’ll get some shit about strava not being zen enough for his one gear etc etc. Does he think he’s Valverde on the mur de huy or something?

Coot-tha sucks, I honestly think that 8:02 was purely down to it being the first time I rode it on my tarmac and it was just me being really excited about being on the #sjerks. Will have a big go at breaking it when I’m up later this year, might have a spew.

Fucking 8:47… Bam, Duggy San Diego they should call me :wink:

Just found it too…amazing how he managed to get a fixed gear to record a 0 rpm cadence on the front descent innit?

So is fixie crits going ahead now?!

This is bigger than the crit now mate…

From what I can gather they’ve left rego open a bit longer.

Just had a lol, chased down my time for the front, a flat 13:00, on the Pivot 429C dually.

ftfy

Breaking news…

Have to skol a beer each lap.

I’m guesstimating around the 12mins for me, cos pies

now I just got a little more interested

Did anyone spectate the “exhibition”? I saw a finish video of a guy 100s of meters clear. Either he didn’t get the memo or it was very much a race simulation.

I don’t see anything negative around so maybe it went well.

Beej Albany smacked everyone about, he’s apparently a pretty serious/legit cyclist, sponnod etc etc

Saw a few laps of the Masters B, some dude picked up the prime in front of his teammate when we were there.
