Stage 2 first 
that’s the one when Dark finished and I was only at 3.9 mile.. bonkers.. never been able to climb.
It’s funny really as I’ve always lived amongst big hills. I get up them, but very very slowly... there’s a very local 25% climb to me here which I can get up - it’s ugly though..

Problem with the algorithm is, Randy goes downhill at 100mph because of stated weight but that hinders him uphill. Dark probably weighs 5k on bkool so goes up hills like the don't exist! I just struggle up and down
I’m mediocre up n doon.. I think I’m heavier than @Randyberlin but can’t get near him doon the slopes

I still have my weight at 201 pounds. I was down to 196 at one point but now I’m probably up to 206. This is my first time on this tread. I may have to go back and read it after work today.

Can I be a party pooper and suggest going outside onto actual roads is ok in August?How do All.
As the weather starts to deteriorate (specially up here in the land of the Scot) I have started to think about a move back in doors.. I’m starting a League which will be set-up to deliver approximately 100 miles per month of varying terrain and in 3D. Stages will go live each Saturday and can be completed at any time during the week/month. I won’t be racing however, if you want to record the fastest time - go for it..
The first League is set up for a September start - All September stages are in Scotland
I’m also hoping to set-up another winter ‘tour’ again this year similar to LEJOG earlier this year..

Same as Jim here, weather not great and with time restraints this is a good way to get a quick ride in! Hopefully out in the real world some point soon

Sorry Jim but they've just revoked your Badass badge
RULE 9:

Those who ride in foul weather – be it cold, wet, or inordinately hot – are members of a special club of riders who, on the morning of a big ride, pull back the curtain to check the weather and, upon seeing rain falling from the skies, allow a wry smile to spread across their face.

Harsh but fair.
To be fair to Jim, he'd need a pedalo rather than a bike to go out in that weatherSorry Jim but they've just revoked your Badass badge

Riding outside in good visibility and daylight is bad enough with half the idiot drivers about, going out in this rain, with the wind and spray and low visibility is not the safest. I'm staying in and staying safe (probably doing a BRVR ride later)
