The results are in for the 300K at the start of April. There were 57 riders (56 of whom finished). It’s difficult to compare times between rides due to differing terrain and conditions so one way I’m using to get a feel for my level of improvement is to compare my position within the pack.
My time of 16:00 hours was in the middle of the pack with 23 riders with a faster time (i.e. 40% of the people beat my time).
Last years 300K had 106 riders, with 96 finishers. While my actual time was essentially identical, 16:04, 60 people were faster than me then (i.e. 56% of the people beat my time).
So am I improving or were there more strong riders out last year during the PBP year? Who knows? It doesn’t really matter but is fun to look at.
We’ll see how the 400K goes next month.
