    Jayzis, is anyone gonna be there at all at all?

    Well, I won't be anyway. My legs are still not recovered from the weekend's exertions and I need them properly fresh if I'm not to embarrass myself on Thursday.

    Good luck to whoever gives it a go!

    Probably from all your powering off over the horizon. That's the only reason I didn't feel tired, I was able to sit in behind you for long stretches :)

    Good training for thursday, I'll be doing a lot of hiding!

    Just back - sub ten minutes.:):):)
    Great to finally meet some Boardsies on a spin instead of shouting at them from my taxi.
    Thanks to the two lads for the time keeping - sorry I didn't get your names.

    Just back, big thanks to the guys who looked after the time keeping. Good turnout, was there 30? and I think nearly everybody was sub 10, but I didn't get all the times.

    Fastest was 6:53 or something like that which is really impressive.

    Looking forward to seeing the final times

    Yeah - fair play to the lads who did the timing. Reckon we'd still have been there looking at each other if oflahero hadn't taken control. I thought someone said the name of the guy who did 6.53 was "amjohn" but a search doesn't raise that username. Think there was 22 there - apart from "marshall no. 2" who went up a few mins in advance, the starting minute was 7.30 and last minute was 7.50.

    Tawfeeredux did 7:12 (so he certainly was being honest about his self-timed efforts).

    I did 8:45 - 5 seconds quicker than my effort a couple of weeks ago. I'm happy enough with that, particularly after Sunday's odyssey.

    UCD were running a TT over the same course also - hope we didn't get in their way too much.

    Nice to put faces to some of the names and hope to see you again at other such events.

    I can only echo the thanks already expressed to the timekeepers.

    8:10 for me, fairly happy as it's over a minute faster than the only time I've done it previously.

    Times are up at https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9kjEwXA_hedEQ0ZEw1S3pMVHVIYkdYRG8yTzZjNFE&hl=en&authkey=CJbI14kF
    Sort of anyway. Still working through my scribbles. And they currently are in order of people to the top.

    The rows without numbers/names, please feel free to let me know who you were. Some of them were the UCD guys. Please point out any mistakes in calculations too :)

    From my run up,

    Distance: 3.72km
    Climb: 103.7m

    My time of 7:32 was with an average speed of 29.6km/h, average power of 396W.

    Apologises about that, as I'm sure you can see, quite a few people were flying by by the numbers. If you have a rough idea where your time was, you should be able to pick it out on the list.

    Errm, my listed time or 9:14 seems a little fast. My self-timing came out at 11:31.

    Well pleased with that as I knocked 25 sec off my previous best...

    Nice to see y'all.

    Well that was lots of fun. I got the good job being Cilla Black, interviewing everyone on the start line before setting them off inexpertly. Cheers to Ryaner for being the Morecambe to my Wise up at the summit with the Garmin.

    Special mention to amjon who started magnificently by peeling off his jacket to reveal The Skinsuit, thrusting the jacket at me saying "hold that" and grumbling how TTs in England were organised in a superior fashion. This was all thoroughly justified by an awesome time of 6:53. Hope you got the jacket back - I stuck it in the hedge by the starting gate.

    Some savage times all round, things like this really bring out the dark horses. Where did Skeff skulk off to? I think he Judased on us with the UCD crowd instead.

    Savage time for sure! I spotted the skinsuit on my way down but thought it was part of the UCD race. He can really show us how's it's done in England by organising the next boards.ie hillclimb. Good man amjon !

    Thought it was funny when oflahero told me that amjon was a bit particular at the start* and that "he wanted to be held".

    Don't we all.

    *agree that a little fussiness is more than justified by the epic time
