@bridgy @LBHIFI Sorry I went on ahead nearer the end but I thought we could catch the Not Reds. I probably should have stayed back to help with the drafting but I thought if I went ahead it might spur you on.
Well done @bobinski for helping the team in the first half.

Did I?? That's very kind of you Bill.
Seems I had a Strava kom on this and you took it! Not surprised though, cracking time there

It's fun to watch as well, with the teams working to draft together and the gaps between them closing down!

Hope everyone can make it for Pico Penas next Tuesday! Great drafting in the second half of the course.

Andy, you dug really deep there mate, and to do it in a howling gale, makes it even more impressive. Tommy, you just keep improving, don't you dare knock me down a spot in the league....but I feel it's iminent.

Not sure that Anne Diamond will be too pleased with you getting her mixed up with Anne Robinson!

Team effort Adam, to get back and then lead us, mainly me to the finish was a really strong effort

I have to say pedalling up hills weighing 30 kilos is quite a bit easier than at 92 however on the downhill bits everyone just streams away from you.

There seems to be a reasonable amount of interest in voice chat. It's on my server at the moment and I think I'll keep it there for a bit while I gauge usage so I can size up the hosted one. We used a product called TeamSpeak3, you can download the client from http://www.teamspeak.com/downloads

I'll post the connections details tomorrow when the server is up and running.

I'm a fair way behind you mate. I can't imagine putting in the effort you did at the start. It was just awesome really.

@bridgy with regards beating my best time. I'm not sure I've done that course before. But the flatter ones are definately better suited to me.

thanks for sorting these rides out - really adds to bkool ! and sorry Insomina for tonight - you dragged me along for most the course after i mucked up the start . been working in a house with dry rot this week and its really got to my breathing so it was good to try and blow my lungs out tonight. shame we lost Monte as i think you two could have left me for 3rd tonight

TeamSpeak3 - does that mean I get to buy more kit?

@TurboTommy I've just been looking at previous times - you did the course in a handicap race in Feb in 45.47! Your time today of 37.51 would have been just a few seconds behind me on that day and you'd have just beaten LBHIFI! That's a really great improvement!

no worries - i guessed you were struggling a bit - I also seem to be able to do so much better on this event.
A couple rides together and I think we will smash it. Monte and I had a decent run last week as well so it can be done.

Wow that's pretty cool. Thanks for looking that up bridgy .

@Insomina

I liked the way you fought back at 'not team red' passing you near the end, real grit there

Kit required for team speak cheap Bluetooth headset hey Tommy
