There can only be one winner – agreed, but where was the intermediate sprint finish line? was it the speed change sign?

Anyway, you were far stronger than me, and even my adjusting of gear ratio and runout distance with careful tyre selection was not enough to triumph on the day.

If the SPR Velo Solo gets some legs, I think there is potential for a points system along the lines we discussed at the start. Points could be awarded for steel frames and deducted for carbon (anywhere including wheels, stem seat post – and that is cumulative deductions), added for fixed gear, added for single brake, more for leather seats, extra more for Brookes leather seat, extra extra more for Brookes leather seats with flat professional rivets, (its all about the pain and discomfort) bravo points for using toe straps, etc. Or am I being obsessive?

It was great fun, if tiring, as i don’t normally do 50km on a fixie. Thanks clint for organising and thanks everyone else for participating and making it a fun if wet ride.

’til next time.
