Crikey, how many pages of Handicap complaints?

It's all down to previous times on the particular course, and most of the "anomalies" are for riders who have not completed the course recently.

I did think the head-start for @bridgy over @AAAC 76C looked unfair, but Bridgy's fastest time so far is 33:59 and Aaac's is 30:42! If I drop off Bridgy's previous slower time that will close it up a small amount. The same for @TurboTommy!

@Whorty is clearly no longer tail end charlie! But he hasn't done a Handicap session for ages, so I have no times to go on. I could drop him from the list, but prefer to leave him there as a placeholder. @Whorty feel free to suggest a suitable increase in Start Time if you fancy joining in, or perhaps you could try and log a few sessions when you are not Goat'ing or Chaingang'ing? They don't have to be done at 8pm on a Tuesday.

@CXRAndy has not completed a session recently, and nor has @Add, who tends to be much faster up mountains than on a flat'ish Handicap.

I'm glad I don't run a golf club!

Bob, if we work together we could try and catch LB & TT, and keep AAAC where he belongs (behind us)

Bill, i would love to do that but my knees are bloody sore from the weekends exertions. One can only try

 

[Perky77]

Oh and Thankyou @Perky77 for your thoughtful Bkool notification......
"You have been challenged and thoroughly humiliated and embarrassed!!"

Apologies

Well lets not bother trying anything overly challenging, like catching Adds and Whorty then

Agreed!

Bkool is suggesting i have only ever done this ride once before in january. I am sure i have ridden it lots but it might be one of those up and down visually challenging courses i have a tendency to bail on

Bill, I'm no longer the one to chase. I have problems with massive underread on the 1-6% sections, up to 50 watt in Chaingang stage 3. This stage ended with the same avg. watt as my BePros.
I should be glad that Bkool finally got realistic, but the way it does it means that I get dropped on the climbs and therefore can't benefit from draft on the flat sections.

That made me just LOL

 

[theboxers]

Damn that hurt . I just could not get a rhythm . Cadence either to hi or lo. HR rate all over the place . 11 days off the bike has done me no good. On top of that changing the bike and position on the bike has put me all over the place .

Note to self. Don't get back after a break and try to monster a Goat session

I didn't even finish the stage

@Soarerv8 Can I suggest you clear your garage of ravenous beasts, check your powerline adapters pre-race, download any updates in advance and try out bkool indoor before a nice long warm up ride?

@Add Just try and get there before the start if you can!
