Cycling The Ring

[croftsj]

Did it last Friday evening after the TF session & have even stuck the obligatory sticker on the bike
It opened from 7:30 - 9:30 & was 15 Euros for the NS or 5 for the GP, sadly this was closed due to DTM.

Great to see the Ring from a new perspective, a LOT steeper in some sections than you'd realise from the drivers seat.

Bridge To Gantry 56 m 22 seconds, max speed 84.8 kmh.

Would love to do Rad Am Ring next year.

Sounds fun though...

How did you take the carousel?

[croftsj]

Around the top, at Bergwerk it peed down for 10 minutes so everything was a slippy as a bucket of eels. The descent into Brunchen was particularly butt clenching.

Good effort.

I didn't realise it was that steep from playing it on the PlayStation.

Ah, I thought you meant the actual mountain-bike track that follows the route of the Ring. I've done that as it's great for spectating around bits of the track that are a bit of a hike.

Isn't there a 24 hour bike race, sure there is and quite fancy the idea.

The 24 hour race is the Rad Am Ring.
