What time was you thinking?

It cant start later than 10am for me. Somewhere 9 to 10 start? I'll give it go
 
Pleasure Sir.
It was hard work making up the 8 plus minutes due to my late start. I was still completing my set up when I set off e.g putting on HRM, which decided not to work, gloves, wrist support, elbow support, turning on music and sorting out headphones.
I rode today to try and loosen up my legs and it pretty much worked. I was walking around like a zombie yesterday and today!
Thanks for trying to tow me on the last hill. i was done couldn't hold on!

Re drafting things look promising for the next Chaingang. I will available for the rerun on the 2nd April. I tried a few miles of the next session, 27mph is quite tough to maintain solely, 25mph more comfortable, but still need concentration. I think 27mph is possible with 5+ riders drafting for 30 sec intervals.(Do ghosts allow drafting?) Even if it only lasts for half the distance a good average could be gotten. I might try the full session tomorrow, If I can be enthusiastic in the morning. :smile:
27mph?? I managed 18mph yesterday :bicycle: Flippin eck, even with drafting I'm not sure I'd do much more. Happy to draft with any or all who are my slow speed to help us get through this painfest :thumbsup:

We going to take turns at the turns at the front then? When you've done your stint, drop to the back. How long are we going to do at the front then? Easier to decide now than try and figure it out en route. I am quite happy to stay in the drafting formation for the whole duration of the session too, I will rein in my 'bloody go for it' demons for this one.

10 am good for me

I see it as a tempo club ride circling round taking the lead. The others keeping in the swirl behind each other. Adam yes please start the event. Will I find it under live tab? I ll hang on as long as I can. Easter food belly keeps growing :laugh:

Regards time on front , depends on the pace, but I think 30 secs to a minute. I just hope I can keep in the swirl to activate the draft.

The faster riders are going have to resist the temptation to push too hard, or its all going to fall apart., worth the experiment :smile:
