Here's mine, 6:35 according to the gps
admittedly the gps didn't start till a couple of metres after the start, but then I didn't stop it till over 5 metres after the finish :D

http://ridewithgps.com/trips/3003123

I've got the video of it as well, that shows 6:36:45

I've checked my Strava results but it's not accurate to that level - the best I can work it out to is a late 6:36 - so either way you got me! Must try harder...
ps your gps event is private view only...I suspect the video should be too... Embarrassed

John - Remember that the difference in points between positions is greater the higher up the field you are. The points for the first 10 places are actually as follows:

Position Points
1 1000
2 900
3 810
4 729
5 656
6 590
7 531
8 478
9 430
10 387

[There is actually a formula for working these out but I can't remember what it is.]

So Russell beating you in the TT (5th vs 8th) is worth 178 points, whereas you beating Russell in the 45 mins (8th vs 9th) is only worth 48 points. Even though the main race was worth three times as much as the TT (75% vs 25%) it's not enough to compensate for this difference in points.

Specifically the calculations are:

  Round 1 Round 2 Overall
  Position Points Position Points   Points
Russell Bridge 5th 656 9th 430 0.25x656 + 0.75x430 = 486.50
John Lucian 8th 478 8th 478 0.25x478 + 0.75x478 = 478.00

To calculate the points score based on position in a single race, as you go down the list the numbers awarded are 90% of those given for the rider in front (eg. 900 is 90% of 1000, 810 is 90% of 900 etc).

The. Formula is something a
On the lines of:-

Points awarded for position "n" = 1000 x 0.9 to the power of n-1

After racing on Sunday, Heather told me that I was making objectionable noises whilst steering sharply to the right. I have checked and can report that that far from this being a personal commentary on how the country is being run, the cause of the din was in fact, worn out bearings in my front RH wheel! Wink Thanks Heather....

Well I never heard the din they made, they can't be that bad - eh, pardon!

On a similar note (haha) we (Jen and I) were in the car the other day when I heard what can only be described as a whining rumbling bearing failure noise from the nearside front wheel, then it stopped and started again, so not being powerfully endowed in the hearing department I asked Jen to listen for it - she couldn't hear anything, my imagination then!

A few minutes later it started again, so I asked Jen to listen - noise stopped, then the penny dropped, it was Jen humming, humming the tuneless hum that only someone doing the humming can appreciate - gowd awful racket it was, from that point she's been instructed to remain silent, unless in conversation, or we have a crash!

Wow!! You've unlocked the legendary mystery of the BHPC points system, lost since ancient times (or at least since the times when Dave Larrington walked amongst us). You certainly deserve a Beer!

Holy cow, the only time I know if I've beat anyone is if they are in front or behind me... Slash confuses a simple sole like me by being both in front and then behind in the same race and sometimes on the same lap!!!
n+1 (where n= a faster machine) 
At least slash provides entertainment by passing at regular intervals Embarrassed

Points mean prises.. so I believe
