GregP May 2016 11:30am, 16 May 2016 82,089 posts	Quote Pin GregP Wisdom? Don't laugh. W/Kg. FTP 2.43 and rising. Not fussed about that. 5m 2.96. Okay, in band. Then it all goes horribly, horribly wrong. 1m 3.83 5s 7.06 Explains why I can't sprint.

GregP May 2016 11:53am, 16 May 2016 82,094 posts	Quote Pin GregP Depends if you're a serial flapper. I'd have aimed for no later than noon. It's easily 20 minutes pushing your bike from car park to boathouse. (not a dim question at all - Dorney's perfectly straightforward if you've raced there a few times before - otherwise it's all a bit like a first experience of departure at a busy airport).
TRO Saracen May 2016 12:04pm, 16 May 2016 12,875 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen As Greppers says. Also come ready to set the bike up next to your car, and have everything in a bag to carry to registration so you can register, sticker things up and shove 'em in Transition. You'll probably not want to have to go back to the car after registering to set up then go back to the Boathouse to rack. You then have a 'back to the car' vs 'hang about and watch the carnage' decision depending on how far away kick off is.
GregP May 2016 12:07pm, 16 May 2016 82,096 posts	Quote Pin GregP If the weather's decent, Dorney is a pleasant place to sit and watch - there's usually a group in the water and there are always people out on the bike and run.
