Impressed Sir.

I must say that 40 seconds I took on Bridgy and my time from Thursday on Saturday cost me dearly.
Just 40 seconds slower helping out a heavily cold ridden Bridgy was so much easier (relatively Bridgy).
For a lot of the ride I was 30 seconds ahead of our ghosts and was just not pulling away.
I must admit I pulled away more gently at the off so missed the advantage of the BKool super start which lost me 15 seconds however it does demonstrates that going from a Bkool 0.9 effort to 1.0 almost feels exponentially more difficult.

Or is that 'Ojciec Jacek'

I tried to do CG4 tonight. Tried and failed! Was going great guns (I think) for the first half, but had over-done it in the heat and with still a bit of virus lingering in me. I tried backing off just to finish the course but felt very light headed and then - very strangely cold - despite being burning hot! My HR was really high too. So I ended up bailing out. Will try again when the temperaturw drops a bit - it's not really bkooling weather is it?!

@gbrown to set a handicap?

Nahh, I think you are already sufficiently handicapped

That's you now in the Chain Gang group Stu so the league rides should now show up in the Simulator. New league will start in July but you can still do any of Junes rides and compete in the present league.

Thanks Bill, just returned to work today so it will be 2 weeks before I can give it a go.

You say that but I could always strap 'Bobinski's book of excuses' to my back to level it out a bit. That must weigh about 20kg a volume?

@BILL S, I've just seen your time around Richmond. Was that solo or in a group? 22mph average for 20 miles

I've never done any group riding round Richmond Park so all my times are solo. Conditions must have been perfect for me to get that speed with little or no traffic and negligible wind. Way down in the overall leader board on Strava though.
Hopefully you, me and Bob can go for a blast round there soon and try for some fast times. I'll need to get my fitness back first otherwise I'll just be getting towed round by you two.

Let us know when Bill, be good to ride with you. And no, if sunday is anything to go by I think you will find its TT being towed

Now, now children.
It's not a race and the important thing is taken part not who has the biggest saddle post and certainly not who has the most expensive bikes, Tommy.

And when your out riding you should think of the poor children who's parents can't afford nice things.......
........ and try and clip the back of thier ankles with your pedals as they scurry across the road in front of you on thier way to the soup kitchen!

 

[AAAC 76C]

Yes it ruins average speed whilst you jump over hedges for a quiet pee.

And in Tom Dumoulin's case.........

 

[AAAC 76C]

Is this Peter Sagan?

To be fair if I'd of known @bobinski was going sulk for 2 days long I'd of let him get to the top of the hill first!

Maybe leave the excuse book at home then?
