Congratulations , we all bow before the awesome power of the Kooler Midas king..... https://rgtdb.com/user/188139
yeah...I think I was thinking too much about holding on and not paying enough attention to when to start the sprint...left that a little late. Same with the sprint race...but the other way round...got out in front with 150 to go...so even if I had more left in the legs too many ate me up. But a good result...and happy to see you in all four races...the last long felt...well...long. It means so much to get the right line and avoid the outside line. But desperately hard to maintain the inner line onvce you get it...but being there saves you a lot of effort. But it is all about getting it right the last 1k...abd since everybody is thinking the same...it does become hard. And in the omniums one has no time to bother much about the collision braking I find. You just have to ride though it putting in a power surge and find the line again. Because if you ease off too much to go back to green you get dropped. It is good fun though and a bit frustrating when your avatar veers right when you see a good free space left ...
...and when avatars find a space where there is none...pushing you out to the right...and it turns out that as i've only done omniums and e-fondos on rgt since they introduced the rankings and as the efondos are not ranked races (lucky me as I really did not have any stellar performances there...unlike @keithaitch). So the one race where I can compete is where I also can mine for gold.
So now that have reached all my life goals...what do I do now? Probably time to write my memoirs. They are called "the man who Keith dragged up a hill, but came down a mountain". A four volume set....because he did drag me up many hills.

well.....62 year young today and my big present is moving @AndyMacca and I up the wingman cup rankings with a stage that hopefully is made for me. Two intermediate climbs and much like Paris Nice today an uphill finish. Let's hope both Tao and I have our mojos working and can deliver the goods! I know it's a bad time family wise but that Saturday afternoon series along the South Downs way looks like fun and it would be good to get numbers into it.

so close.... https://rgtdb.com/series/tnt-mar-09 and 17 out of 89 will do nicely for me in a big boys' race!
Happy Birthday @keithaitch, yes let's put in a big effort tonight and earn all the beers and cakes! 😊 Climbs aren't my thing but if I can lend a hand by going into the red at the start I'm happy to. 👍
I'll pencil in the South Downs but I'm 50/50 for Saturday as I'm up in Colchester in the morning and not sure what time I'll get back.

perhaps @Andy can do domestique duties this evening and have my favourite beer in his bottles as an incentive for me not to lose his wheel and then we share it at the end!
