Last instalment of the Spring Sessions Chaingang race tonight!!
Stage 6 in Saler - Cullera. Fort Santuari

This is long and flat with a steep looking hill at the end. I seem to remember it from a few months back.

I'm thinking drafting has to be the way for most of us, and I for one will be looking for a suitably attired drafting partner/partners to help get me to the hill as fresh as possible before the parting company and the real suffering begins.

As usual 7pm with 10 mins warmup. I'll be starting it. See you all there.

Did this one last night on my own. Would be ideal for drafting. Was tough doing it alone as the flats zap your energy just enough to make the climb at the end a pig

I seem to remember having a little tussle with you on this one back in February @Add ......

Negotiations have already started but at this early stage it seems my attendance is in the balance... Promises have been made. Hopefully it goes my way, but I may need to bring in a lawyer to draw up the final contracts!

Boiling and heavy air too down here in sunny south london...not sure i will be able to get the loft cool enough to make much of this one before overcooking. Temptation to go out fast on the flat but then there's that hill

Just got back to Sarf lundun from Hampshire. Bloody warm at the moment . Will be there aiming for a 22-23mph speed on the flat sections tonight if anyone wants to join me . Otherwise I may only be able to hold 20-21mph

Sadly don't think I will be able to make 7 so might end up having a go at the handicap slog.

I won't be able to make it tonight. Doing some time trial tests before the weather turns bad again.
I would really like to have a go at stage 5, but I see that it expires tomorrow. Is it possible to adjust a stage time after it expires? If so could I perhaps do a dummy league ride, and the do the ride this weekend outside the league and have the time adjusted?

That's a pity Lars. Haven't seen the virtual you for a while. We could try the dummy ride adjustment but I'm not hopeful that it'll work after the stage expires. I'm happy to try but I guess the league finishes soon.

@theboxers, sounds like a good idea so I'll try and team up with you. First time on the bike after being tomdick, so will have to see how it goes.

Spent a week with lawyers and on there updated costs I suggest you give it a miss.
I could have bought all of us a very nice bike!

Didn't need the lawyers in the end thankfully!

What happened to you @AAAC 76C ?

 

[theboxers]

@Goldwolfie sorry beyond my control .

Grrrrrrrrrr pc crash and then got back on and tried to do a 30 minute tt for an ftp rating and crapped out after 20 . Still I did my best average power @230 watts over 20 minutes or so not all wasted . Still shattered after the quicket pot molle warm up session and then a highest power over 20 minutes .

Now time for .
