September CTC Choice
Its our turn to choose the CTC in September. ANy thoughts on what we would like? Or shall we wait and see what is chosen for August?

Re: September CTC Choice
I’d wait a month and then we can decide. I’m always a fan of CTCs that are not just simple distances (like this months 6k). At the same time I’m not a massive fan of rate restricted ones, they are always too complex. We could work out how long Freespirits has been going and do a theme around that maybe?

Re: September CTC Choice
We started in 2006, so we are 18 years young. Maybe something around the number 18?

Re: September CTC Choice
I think Jon's suggestion is more sensible, although why not 18 x 180 r1'?
PS just seen that the most likely row for Augu8st will be 3 x (8x20" r10S). So maybe something longer? How about 3 x 6min 2' rest? or 16', 5' then 6min with 2min rests (the date the club was founded 16/5/06).

Re: September CTC Choice
Bump, if people could indicate which of the many suggestions they like or suggest more, then perhaps we can get to a shortlist?
Personally my vote is 16', 5' rest then 6'.

Re: September CTC Choice
Given the very sprinty nature of this month I would go for something steadier and simple like your 3x6:00 2:00r or sticking with the '18' theme 10/5/3min 2:00r?

Re: September CTC Choice
Hi all,
September is only four days away and I think it's about time that we make up our mind re the September ctc.
To speed things up I'd like to start a poll, including
3 x 6' / 2'r
10'/5'/3' 2'r
16' / 5'r / 6'

Re: September CTC Choice
My vote is for the last, but prefer them all to the sprint options!

Re: September CTC Choice
Thanks. Done.
Polls unfortunately do not work in TapTalk app, so had to go into a browser.

Re: September CTC Choice
We are going to look a bit silly if we don’t post a CTC soon so I have taken the votes so far and will post on the C2CTC forum now.

Re: September CTC Choice
It turns out that Peter had agreed that we would send in a submission after the poll closed tomorrow. I hadn’t realised this. Apologies for jumping in and submitting a response on behalf of the team. Lesson learned. I’ll leave things to others from now on.
