Really hav'nt got to grips with gears tho...ss all the way for me in future
I know what you mean. I did it on rigid/ss and having (briefly) tried gears again recently I much prefer ss riding - even on hills like Builth.

Taff thanks but got that. I was looking for results by class and distance?

Weird being at the pointy end for once!Starting quick and getting slower,more used to being nearer the back at the start and making my way to the front.Just don't know how to pace myself with gears-and far too spinny!Was good fun (and quick,especially the road lead out) on the cx but will back on a 'proper' bike for the next one.

From web site - "Due to legal restrictions we are not able to give more details on the results than provided here" 'cos it's not a race as it's on bridleways / roads etc.
Look at the race numbers as that's the distance entered. But people then change distance and / or take short cuts which means the results don't mean a lot.

It was my first marathon did the full distance,fair play to Nezbo on doing it in that time. I had a couple of mechanicals and struggled with cramp.Finished on 5.19
Really enjoyed it,well organised,stunning scenery,friendly mountain bikers and Guy Martin!Posted 2 years ago # -
Yes Dave noted that but how then does Nezbo know?
I did the full distance in a time of 4:13 and came in 13th in class and 34th overal

Ask as you cross the line-I only remember him saying thirtybleurgh when I asked as me head was a bit mashed from the heat!

Did he ask at the event? They might have had all the categories on the PC they were using so could tell him then.
<EDIT> too slow .... just like my riding !!!!

Yep asked at the event
but it is not a race 
it is just to track my performance etc...

You would think they could post the results by course length and time. What rule or law says you must post the results in a particular format? Yes, I did note that its not a race but the lack of information is frustrating. I note in previous results the information was there.
Overall enjoyed the marathon but the issue over information is a bit disappointing.

I don't care,just happy to finish the full distance which was my objective. The heat added to the challenge,great feeling crossing the line. I will be back.
