Just taken a look at the Tour of Wessed details http://209.132.24.3/downloads/Information_manual1.pdf
The standards are pretty tough, which is probably as it should be. For me gold means
Day 1 148km 5:00 (avs 29.6kmh)
Day 2 166km 5:30 (avs 30.1kmh)
Day 3 171km 6:00 (avs 28.5 kmh)
The times are doable, I averaged 30.2 on the TOW day1 and 28.7 for the 188km Tour of the Black Mountains, but will leave little margin for error. The weather+riding single speed meant I only did 26kmh on TOW day 2 this year and this combination left me pooped for the final day when I averaged the same speed. Still I have more experience now and hopefully will be fitter this year than last. So overall glad the standards are so tough and prefer this to situation where I can get a gold when not even trying.
