Thanks AAAC. That was my strongest ride for a while so at least you didn't have to wait so long for me this time. Sorry about the long wait near the end where I was in the wrong gear hitting that hill and my chain was just slipping round and refusing to engage any gear at all. Felt a lot stronger that Thursday for some reason.

What happened to you AAAC and Bill and TT? I was riding with you at the start, then dropped connection a couple of times. When I came back online the second time you were nowhere to be seen - I was showing in first place and there was a couple of ghosts (AAAC ghost plus another I can't remember) in second and third?

I am suspecting you were around but I just couldn't see you as I wasn't going that quick and would be really surprised if I was ahead of you all!

You disappeared and appeared a couple of ties Paul, but you had dropped back a bit. You were showing as being just a bit behind AAAC and myself on the timing board and I assumed you were fully joined in with the rest of us but just not quite at your usual blistering pace.

Actually in hindsight I'm quite glad I couldn't see you as I probably pushed a bit harder than I should have as it was, and I would probably have been tempted to try and stay with you if you'd been in my sights!

Somewhere between the 10 second countdown and the start I changed plans... I figured I'd just stay at the front until I ran out of steam then use the rest of the ride as a warm down. I got off the bike to open the window wider (sweating like a pig [no offence DP!]) which is when you came past. I think that not seeing people thing is always down to connection which makes sense as you kept dropping in and out.

Great ride all! I thought that course was a pretty good one.

Thanks for all the drafting at the start Tommy. You did a lot more than your share at the front. It was your manic pace that made me wonder what had happened to all the ghosts I had added and why they weren't in amongst us.

I think you'd have been more than tempted if you'd known you were only about 20 seconds back for much of the ride.

A new record for me, thank you Gentlemen, a total of 8, ah well still a few behind me for the moment anyway

Yes definitely! Normally I'd be frustrated by that but going any faster than I did would not have been sensible right now!

Well in trying to get away from Whorty and randy Berlin and trying to stick close to berty basset I manged to knock off 1m 16s by the end I was feeling a bit when DP went 'come on Breedon Jacobs watching' with 400 meters to go did a sprint finish .
Cooling down in the velodrome berty and I had a quick tussle, all ways good fun.

I believe it's called 'Bingly bong'.. had a few of those in my time... much much less though these days.. what with my new knees and my new cycling coach Edgar..

I had nothing tonight for some reason. Within 5k i was struggling and as soon as we hit those first 4-5% hills I shot back 20-30 seconds. I don't know if it's a FW issue, or my style, but every time I get to 4-5% everyone flies past me. Get back on the flatter sections, or hillier sections, and I can stay with those around me, but those middle ascents I just lose so much time. Bizzare! Well don @Jim Brown , that was one mega ride you must have put in to get that time I may be able to knock of a minute or 2 off tonight's time, but no way I'll get anywhere near your time!

I don't know who Edgar is, but his training has clearly paid dividends as you flew on the CG1 ride

The first half I was mentally composing a complaint to the rules committee about new chain and new pedals. I was pushing as hard as I could to keep up with you. Breedon and Berty were just taunting me.At the end I tried a big push to gain on Rod but he finished really strong. On the plus side Bkool raised my heart rate zones. My new max is 193

I was hoping once you caught up with me I could jump on to your back wheel and cadge (new word for you) a lift, but you was too strong for me on that course I couldn't even hold your wheel enough to get a rest Not my type of course, but at least it's out the way now
