1:24:58 for me please, @Aleman

These long ones are not my cup of tea. I should probably do them more often..

I'm going to have to try this again on Sunday, but using my new NEO2 trainer. Could be a very steep learning curve for me :eek:
I think I'm going to do this tomorrow, just to get a time in. I've had plenty of time this week to have a proper go, but a complete lack of motivation to actually go for it ::cry: ... Hopefully the medication will kick in before long :sad:

Definitely planning on having a pop at this later. I was hoping @Aleman would have set a time for me to chase already but looks like I'm going to have to be the hare for him to chase :biggrin:

1:53:21 @Aleman

Was going Ok but with 8.5km to go I started to really struggle. At that point I was a minute ahead of @djk ..... with 5km to go I'm 3 mins behind! I lost all my time on the 'easy' green and yellow sections where I just wanted to rest :tongue:

Anyway, another target to beat for those inclined to have a go :okay:

Still a few of you not done stage 4 yet : @Aleman, @Breedon, @TurboTommy , @Del C , @Randyberlin .... do you really want my time plus 5% :laugh:

ha ha I'm happy you beat me so long as you feel sick doing it :rofl: That's a good time. Did you use me as a pacer? Was probably obvious when I was starting to slow, and you could start to pull away :okay:

Edit: after 5 stages there are only 7 seconds between us :eek: Looks like I do better on the shorter climbs and you do better on the longer climbs. I think my peak distance is 80 mins, then I start to fade. Stage 6 is yours, and maybe stage 10, but I'm hoping I can claw back some time on the shorter punchier stages again :boxing:

01:13:48, I think that'll be the last revisit for a while. Just hope this new found bit of form lasts though I suspect it's down to inaccuracies in the turbo trainer rather than me. I'll find out when my present one goes belly up and I get one with a PM built in.

What trainer do you have at the moment?

It's an Elite Real Turbo Muin. I've had it about 3 years now and it's been in almost daily use so has been a real good buy. I've read that it is fairly accurate power wise up to a point then starts to over read. I think I've reached that point but I don't know by what percentage it over reads or the exact wattage where it does. I was thinking of getting the Elite Drivo I or maybe the updated II if funds stretch. However if those IQ2 PMs ever reach the market I may try them with the existing trainer instead.

Excellent time, Dave.
