If ....IF....that were true Bob, it would show nothing more than my superior race-craft

TBH, I think we all did our turn, and I think AAAC is probably slightly out of my league.
You also seem to "outwatt" me most of the time, so I probably benefit more from drafting .

Darn, we are back to being nice to each other again. Yep, it's always good to share the draft and the watts!
See you all for the rerun

Us Moose at the back are always nice to each other .... we never know when we'll need our fellow Moose to help us over the line

There's that many registered excuses? This has to be one of them then: (just click "Ja" to being +18 years): http://www.jacobsenbryg.dk/bryg/saaz-blonde/

I plan to be there but the above is my excuse. The problem with having just "one more beer" is that this beast is the equivalent of 4 normal size strong beers.

@7.1% one will get me relaxed, 2 will get me horizontal .

In all honesty, I am aware of trying to do my bit when we get into some good drafting but there are times when I try but fail to get in front!

Was I imagining it or did we have a few moments yesterday towards the end when both of us were trying to get behind to have a rest, so we slowed right up?! - certainly felt like it a couple of times!!

PS and I have no complaints about anyone shying away from doing their fair share!!

I assume you are not talking about Bkool climbs .
You are right about two. My wife also loves his beer but we are both aware of the danger of opening another Saaz.
I was going to say: we have both learned out lesson, but we still fall into that pit

Edit
Oh, and it's a 0,7 l bottle (1.23 pints). Normal bottle here is 0.33 l (0.58 pints)

Bridgy, it's pretty hard to draft well in Bkool, or at least that's my excuse. I worry I am not taking my turn! I often feel as if I am interfering with the well oiled machine that is you, bill, LB and AAAC. Whereas I can draft for km after km in Zwift. Perhaps that's because speeds and in particular acceleration and deceleration are more realistically handled. I also love the way you can give kudos in Zwift mid ride to drafting partners. It's a little gesture that makes riding with others a little more real.

I think it's easy to assume everyone else around you is cruising along or calmly drafting together like a well oiled machine, but I think often they're actually suffering as much as you, and that well oiled machine is an optical illusion!

A way of doing a virtual elbow flick would be really helpful at times!

i would also like to say well done Andy - but after the email i had i don't think i will bother !!

Most consider me a pretty ugly SOB, especially in Lycra, so I am flattered!

I have 3 bottles of bier every evening ( german bier with 5,5 % o.5 liter ) perfect recovery drink I sleep like a log and feel on top of the world the next day .

I assume that was just a translation error LB?

Have you tried Maibock, it's got a real twist in the tail.
The seasonal wheat beers are pretty refreshing though.

Please don't make a suggestion to BKool though as they will probably do something real stupid that ruins what little drafting sensation/advantsge we get.
To be true though, in the real world you 'feel the draft' all be it a reduction in headwind as well as the reduction in effort required.

Perhaps they could do something clever with a variable fan control.

Most bock bier is pretty good usually made from the brewery for festivals . I ts a bit strong to be on every evening ( 6 to 7 % ) I like to get my family on it when they are over it sorts them out lol . Then the change of air pressure living at 1800 feet above sea level gives them hangovers from hell ..
