Don't forget Geoff (@gbrown) I'm really slow so need to start before everyone else

Especially for @Aleman. Don't tell me this doesn't look like a climb, the Med in the far distance is horizontal and I'd done 900m in 17kms of constant up to get here. It's the other side of the climb you did on bigring last week just twice as much climb and twice as many kms. I hope these photos serve as inspiration for those of you unable to get outdoors. Real rides still exist, and when the weather improves all the bkool training will mean you get bkool fairy dust in real life too. If anybody is genuinely offended I'll obviously stop posting, if anybody thinks I'm just taking the piss then I'll obviously continue posting.

@keithaitch Completed NC2 this morning and added my time to the spreadsheet. 1:07:34

Of course, being Bkool, I can see the time but no details of the ride and it hasn't updated on the league page either................ but apart from that................

Thx del

Post away- I envy the fact you can get out at this time of year and do these rides.

It’s looking reasonable up here tomorrow so I may try some rw miles... I haven’t been out for a couple of months noo.

May even give the pimped Bored Man it’s inaugural run.

Pimped/Boardman = Contradiction.

Afternoon Gents. Hope no one thinks I'm doing that Cinctorres Ares again today. Sorry but once was quite enough so I'm going to do the winter Cup instead as I'm falling behind in that. Can someone else please start the re-run?
If you like, I can start it with all possible ghosts then will drop out once its underway.

I may be doing 6 at 5

Anyone riding NC qualifier stage 2 @ 5? ( hoping no one so I can postpone it)

 

[BILL S]

Understood, but I'll be doing 4@5.
No one has posted that they'll be doing the re-run Cinctorres Ares so I'm not going to start it and would suggest that anyone wanting to do it can challenge someone who's close to their usual speed and not worry too much about ghosts as trying to keep up with someone too quick at the start could really screw things up for your overall time. Best go at your own speed on this one.

Its a real toughie Randy. I'll be doing Winter Cup stage 4 at 5pm if you'd prefer that, but its also an uphill slog but is quite a bit shorter. You may already have done it of course.

Lee, Andy, who we both know, fell today and broke his wrist

Haven't done it yet. Too many rides to dread, procrastinate and avoid at this point.

Looking for a course for the Handicap race, needs to be around 30-35 mins for the fastest times, 40-50 mins for the slowest.

Best if it is not too steep, up or down, and has a decent flat or false flat bit at the end for a sprint finish.

But most importantly it needs to have most of you having posted times in the recent weeks or months.

The current NC stage 1 (Stouby Sejet) seems a candidate, but obviously bkool don'e want me back as the web site just keeps timing out...

could be a server problem again

Yeah. It just kicked me out with bad gateway error.
