Looks like you had a fantastic day up at Blue. My wife and I love staying up there at the village but we have never taken our bikes there. I noticed from your video the road surface seemed a little rough in spots. Was that a problem for you and the others?

We have a tandem road bike. Did you see any other tandems on your 1/2 century ride?

Thanks for posting that video.

It was really great day. Surface was normal, regular road, it might seem rough on the camera, but it wasn't really a problem, I personally didn't see tandems, but I saw other Centurion video and people on tandem, I'm sure you could be able to ride.
Take your bike next year.

That was the finest wheel sucking I've ever seen.

Rule #67 / Do your time in the wind
Nobody likes a wheel sucker. You might think you’re playing a smart tactical game by letting everyone else do the work while you sit on, but races (even Yellow Sign Sprints) are won through cooperation and spending time on the rivet, flogging yourself and taking risks. Riding wheels and jumping past at the end is one thing and one thing only: poor sportsmanship.

A great event nonetheless

Rule #66 never assume anything I love your assumptions… I did my fair share, race was almost 3 hours, video is only 15 minutes, I did quite a bit of wind braking at list 10km out of 85 there is not much of it on the video because it is boring and doesn’t look like a race but seems I’m on one of my rides. Heck I even own jersey with sign: drifting sucks…

I did the C100 and I'm pretty sure I read that tandems were NOT allowed.

Not sure if it's the same for the C50.
