This bike porn is worse than the videos posted earlier. That Dassi looks great. The nice thing about being way over weight is I can't justify buying the lightest stuff. The difference between the Rival group and Red would be one week of not eating my late night snack.

Got all my sram red from ebay it's 10 speed so you can save ££££££ or $$$$$$$$

just finished stage 4 and finished 1.25.10 which i can beat on Saturdays rerun and thanks @kipster for you words of encouragement really did help.
Put in the ghosts of Add, kipster and bobinski and a couple of others but the session started straight away so i was all ready 10-15 seconds down i just couldn't latch on to the back and was by my self all the time.

He put in a great solo effort

Thanks @kipster, and thanks for the support during the ride!

It was the only window of opportunity I could see to do the ride and I wasn't in best form following a long weekend of excess food and drink. I decided part-way through the ride to take it steady as I have a big road ride coming up in a couple of days - then you came along Kipster and shamed me into trying a bit harder!

Either way, glad to have completed the league - shame not to have enjoyed an epic drafting session on that course though - another time perhaps!

Good luck to all on Thursday night...

Is everyone happy to leave the Chaingang League as it stands and start the new one now?

Cheeky bugger!

Unless it's too late I still need to do the roller coaster but may try and do it in the morning.

After having completed the final stage tonight solo, I'd be quite glad never to see that one again.

Darn it, sorry I missed it Bridgy. I would have been more than happy to harass you throughout with moral sapping comments and other distractions.
Just about to go and look at your time.....see what I have to pull out the bag on Thursday.

Oosh, I got lucky. You should cycle to Cornwall before every attempt. Did you put ghosts in?

Oh no you have nothing to worry about - I was way under race pace!

Lol. You'll do well on the roller coaster I reckon, plenty of opportunities to put down good power if you have the stamina, which you do.

It would have been a nice one for us to have a crack at together tbh, it's a pity our schedules won't permit it.
I'm certain your stamina would have prevailed.

No I didn't bother with ghosts. I knew I wasn't to go full beans so thought I'd just treat it as a steady workout. Bit knackered after a busy weekend and a long drive home - wouldn't have done it at all but just wanted to complete all the stages! Also wary of over-doing it because of the rides later this week. They won't be fast ones as the friend I'm going with won't be going very fast but they'll be long and hilly!

Bloody good time for a steady workout!

Well I don't know about my stamina prevailing but agree it would have been a great one for us to work together on - with a battle for the line over the last few miles no doubt!

Kipster did force me to try a bit harder at the end with his words of encouragement!

 

[bridgy]

Actually, just noticed - wow @kipster that's a bloomin good time for a man with a broken collar bone!
