So thought I would check my times for the route, surely they can’t be exaclty the same to the second can they?
Can someone else check theirs, ta

Power was pretty good tonight near on with ave 318W, not bad considering it has a lot of downhill sections.

Oops ... Ok I've set a few more things to Groups and Friends .... it's 32:32 according to my strava timings, but just check in case ... anyone know what I have to set to make the data visible if it's not

Still can't see you session, can you go into your session result and find the In Motion time for the Main part, as below.

Thanks,

Geoff

In hindsight that was fantastic training for me having warmed up a bit too hard on purpose to disadvantage myself and then I missed my logon time, although I was in the right place on time, due to the password thing.
I came out of the gate 'angry' and smashed the first few km far too hard thinking that I needed to catch @Daddy Pig before @bridgy got too far ahead. So by the time I got too him I was winded to say the least and my expected pairing up to chase @bridgy didn't work.
Three time after that a almost threw in the towel but each time, after a micro rest, I got back to the job in hand.
It was just unusual for me to be so far back and I was loosing the will as a result instead of turning into fight.
A valuable lesson learnt in addition to making sure I know the passsword.
Thanks @gbrown, thanks @BILL S and thanks to everyone else who made it a race in a race.
I too had forgotten how great they are and the handicaps were close to spot on.

There's no need to defend old age Geoff...

Pardon.

 

[perswe]

aha ...there they are....my lungs! Now I just need to find them legs...Actually they failed me today so they might as well be lost for the time being (damn you, legs!). Thanks to @keithaitch and @JJRobinson for the tow, although I could not latch on for very long. Felt I was in nowhere land for the first third and tried way way too hard to catch up with @Whorty, realising far too late that that wasn't going to happen.

Great fun though! this is what it should be like!

thanks for organising it!

Well that was interesting.

Only managed to warm up for a couple of minutes.

Joined the wrong session with Snow and the other guy, exited that and managed to find the right session by searching for Bill S.

Joined just before my start time, based on my iPhone because the Bkool times looked wrong, but the wheel on my turbo hadn't stopped, so as soon as I joined I was off. Slight panic then as I couldn't see @Jim Brown, so I decided to go and then saw Jim was about a minute behind me. Couldn't decide whether to wait, but as the gap wasn't shortening I thought I'd have to go solo. Sorry Jim - I've got work to do on my starts!

Then realised I was out by myself and had taken on @Whorty 's old role of being the hare, so I pushed harder than I should have done, until first @Aleman caught me and then others, as I struggled more in the second half.

Still, it was good fun and watching the dots slowly catching you at the bottom go BSim does sort of spur you on......... until you realise you're slowly dieing! Despite that, I kept trying because there were still some dots behind me!

Some things to learn, but I can see why people like the handicaps.

Thanks for organising to @gbrown and @BILL S !

What else!

 

[Daddy Pig]

Interesting race I didn't even know I had with DP. Wished I had known I might of tried a little harder.

I wondered why you didn't try and push harder near the end. I caught you up and tried to stay at your pace but for some reason you weren't playing ball.

Still can't see you session, can you go into your session result and find the In Motion time for the Main part, as below.

Here you go. Thanks for organising this. I realise that now I have blown any chance of getting a better handicap, so I think that I'll probably be indoors washing my hair next week

You were a great hare for me at the end just what I needed to spur me on to one final effort. Thx. I guess that is what makes handicap races much fun, thanks @gbrown for organizing same time, next week ?
