Gees that sounds rather easy with a clock on the bike? 3.8 kms, just pick a time you can roll it in and the roll it to the second with your clock?

Errr... 12m 25.6s.

Got to watch out for the rangers

As I have to miss the ride this week, I'd like to suggest we put this off for 1 week. So pick-a-lap day will be 29th June.

Cheers,

What's the arrangement? Where will the start and end points be? Greatest accuracy as by the number of seconds away or by percentage of the lap time? And where do we register our times?

Pick a Lap has been done & decided... & the winner is Chris H with a predicted lap time of 6 minutes flat & an actual lap time of 5 minutes & 59 seconds putting him 1 second under his predicted time. Well done Chris, his method was to time a flat-out lap then do it again. Notables were Geoff who came in at -2 seconds, Theo - Lisa & Tony at +5 seconds. Also Seok Yee who picked her first ever lap of Centennial to an 8 second margin.

Hard luck story of the day goes to Peter who picked 6 minutes and at the advice (?) of Wei Yun added 30 seconds to his time for good measure & did a time of 6 minutes exactly...



Congratulations Chris you've won coffee & cake for 2 at our wonderful Saturday Slowies coffee stop - Marrickville Road Cafe.

Fastest time too! That's actually some very consistent riding. To land within a second....

James did the fastest time, but I'm pretty pleased that I did a sub 6 min lap. I usually do a 3 lap timetrial, which I try to do in under 20 min. I usually average around 6.20ish per lap when I do that.

I did a couple of warmup laps today, which I didn't time, then jumped straight in, figuring a flat-out lap would be roughly 20 seconds faster than the time when I'm on a 3-lapper.

Thanks to the Marrickville Road Cafe for donating the prize!
