Willy Wave 2011

[Oggy]

Well its time we kicked off a fresh sheet for 2011

2010 was a good year for waving with some great times and plenty of wilson action. Its now time to forget about past Glory's and start setting new personal bests for the year 2011

For anyone that doesn't know what a Willy Wave is basically its a flying lap of a chosen trail with the aim being to beat you personal best. Its a great way of improving your fitness along with setting yourself goals and measuring you fitness progress. There was a lot of waving going on in 2009 so we thought this year it would be fun to get a thread going so we can wave at each other with a little wave table. So just post your wave in this thread or pm your time and trail to an admin and we will edit this first thread entering your time This is just a bit of fun for those that like a challenge and is a great way of pushing yourself. It depend entirely on wavers honesty so remember it is the full length of the trail start to end with no stopping of the clock. Also please remember that that this is a bit of friendly banter and is more about beating your own personal best rather than having the top time so there is really no need to cheat not that most people of here would

[Oggy]

A 2011 wave of the marin from the Rallybiker has gone up today

Is there any more waves to go up that i have missed, sure pete said about a beast wave?

Its coming in to wave season so hoping to see some good times in the next few months

[Oggy]

Waves are coming in thick and fast now with Ken putting a cracking wave in on the marin today, good time considering the condtions up there but expect this man to smash that time later in the season.

It will be interesting to see peoples times as we head through the year and also compare them to last years times. Better get my Wilson out soon

[tinytim]

Well I thought I'd go down to the Marin to do some filming with the headcam today but with some persuading from Oggy and a gentle nudge from the wise obi wan in the car park it was an attempt at a wave, not in the best of shape I didn't think I'd get near 2hrs but with the conditions dry I surprised my chubby self and put in 1:54, really pleased and I may have the wave bug now! Put some decent tires and try some spuds and a bit more time on the bike I reckon I can knock ten mins off that. I shall reward myself with the food of champions for tea, chips and egg with tommy sauce and half a loaf, I'm told it's ideal post ride fodder

[Arnie]

Well done Timbers, that's a cracking time, especially for a first wave too. Obiwan and young Luke already knew you had the force inside you

[tinytim]

Cheers arnie! It's been called many things but that's the first time it's been called the force!

[Oggy]

Couple of crackin waves from the forum baldies today. Well done fellas, looking forward to seeing some more waves off you through the summer Catch you on the forum ride tomorrow if you legs will get you up the first hill

[Dan B]

As I haven't stood up to be measured before I thought it was about time ;D especially as I'm on a training mission to get properly fit for the Alps.

As Aled O couldn't make it I had the perfect opportunity to give it a go and as the trails at Degla are running so quick thought I would give it a bash.

Therefore my wave with the current diversion in place @ JJ's was 1.19.05, Oggy can verify on Endomondo, was nearly sick well chuffed as the Alpine & Myself aren't exactly XC focused.

.....And now the confession before anyone pipes up on the forum about some twat ridding round Degla with all the kit but with no Helmet on.......yes that was me!

In my rush to get out on the bike (On a school night) I completely forgot it Now I don't condone this sort of behavior and am an advocate in ridding protected I did do a quick risk assessment and Eco survey and figured that wasting fuel to drive all the way home and back again would be bad for the environment.

I therefore tore up the risk assessment and took the gamble and decided to go Bare swede, I have to say it was defiantly more stimulating but couldn't stop thinking it was wrong and risky
It certainly isn't something I'm going to repeat in a hurry and I'm not going to grow a beard and go fixed gear either

Ever thought of going fully rigid?

Nice one Dan bet you legs felt like jelly afterwards, its hard trying to keep the pedal to the metal all the way round & constantly fighting the urge to give up.

It wasn't just my legs mate I was absolutely spanked, sat in the back of the car for ten minutes shaking

I will get fit if it kills me....and beleive me thats how I felt this morning...Dead - Going to have another go soon though ;D

[Oggy]

Nice 1 Dan, well done, good to see you have caught the wave bug

As there are often diversions at LDG all we can do is put the diversion in brackets after the wave times, so if anyone does an LDG wave just let us know the diversions

Ken has been at it again as well, check out his very nimble time on the MBR

[cyclone]

Argh just re read this thread i had a go at llandegla on monday just the red (i think i was doing quite well for me) then bang hit the diversion and aborted the mission. Next time i`ll carry on and and note the diversion later
