Harry Musson decided that it would be a great thing to have some members do a team time trial before heading off the Chez Lucien's to watch the real thing on the tube. Three jovial teams materialized, the times were good and Harry is keen on having this become an annual event. Very happy with his team's winning time of 20:52, Harry wanted to know how much of an advantage it was to ride on a team. The best that this web site can provide him with is a PerformanceRatio (cube-speed ratio) measure of the individual best performances of his team members relative to that of the team performance. Meanwhile, the second place team, who missed the win by 6 seconds, but at least did so in a gentlemanly fashion with no head-butting and no danger of disqualification, actually rode slower than the previous best time of one of it's members, Graham Plaunt. Graham has a databased PB of 19:31 (back on 1998-May-07. Here are the team to individual best comparisons for Angus Henry and Paul Weiser. The third place team, initially unidentified, has now come forward to claim victory in the mixed gender category. They also indicated that there was an outstanding question about the rules of the competition, in that one of the other two teams did not finish with all 4 members at the same time! We'll await a ruling by the judges!
