Please can we confirm the earliest starters tonight, as I'll compress the Start Times so the earliest intending to join in starts at 0:00, to keep the others spinning on the Start Line for the minimum of time. @theboxers Simon, @Londonbg, @threerock44, Steve, @Randyberlin, @Jim Brown

Thanks,

Geoff

Wow Randy, is your house high enough from sea level? News says tsunami risc in your area.

 

[LBHIFI]

A handicap of 5 mins 14 seconds gives a start time of 9:15, alongside Aleman, which seems about right for a Pro 5 rider?

Is that OK for an initial run, it will adjust for subsequent runs?

Geoff

Thanks Geoff, that'll be fine. As you say, it can always be adjusted later :-)

 

[Aleman]

Thanks Geoff, that'll be fine. As you say, it can always be adjusted later :-)

Well at least I'll have someone to watch disappear into the distance

We try to start the warm up at 6:50 so start is 7:00:00 plus your allotted start time, to make starts accurate (best to use a digital watch, rather than rely on bkool's clock, which is a bit sloppy).

What is your fitness level on bkool? Anyone you normally ride alongside, so we can start you at the same time for an initial handicap?

@BILL S hope you are OK to start tonight again, as close to 6:50 as you can manage.

I presume the password will be chase

Geoff

I will be in with the first starters if ok with everyone else. I was there or there about a last year and I’m in worse state now

 

[bridgy]

I'm looking forward to it ... If you really want to test stamina give this one a go

Yeah I don't think I'd be very popular if I'd suggested that one for stage 4 of the league!

Not joining tonight Geoff. I have other rides I need to do for league and planned rides. I may get done early enough to join as a spectator

 

[CXRAndy]

I don't know if I'm available for handicap, bit if you put my time up in the hope of being around. What course is it?

[Aleman]

Stouby - Sejet - CG1

 

[Whorty]

Good time @JJRobinson ! I see that puts you in provisional third in the league, with @BILL S in 4th and @keithaitch in 5th, closely followed by @Aleman. But then we have @peterob , @TurboTommy and @CXRAndy who are all missing one stage but have cracking times for the stages they have done......

A strong team with strength all the way through Gonna be fun to watch again this year Pom poms and tutu at the ready

 

[Whorty]

Cheers @Whorty i ll just have a crack at a few of them to get back into the swing of things.
Does everyone still get together Thursdays ?

7 o'clock Tuesday for the handicap race
7 o'clock Thursday for live league stage
5 o'clock Saturday for re-run of league stage

 

[Aleman]

Yeah I don't think I'd be very popular if I'd suggested that one for stage 4 of the league!

I think I have the video for the middle third, if that would be any better
