I have just done wc stage 8,which is actually I climb I've done itrw, during a sportive when I beat Miguel indurain!, and was wondering which stages people, @perswe, @BILL S, @Brusgaard and @AAAC 76C still had to do to get up to date.
Good to see you back on page 2 @keithaitch and @AAAC 76C! Will do stage 8 later this week. Now I’m soon falling off page 2. There is another ”per” currently on page 1 who already did stage8. I obviously have to keep fake per behind me.
/real per
Btw - stage 8 looks tough but that reinhard guy really cruised up that hill. So, how hard can it be...
Edit: good to see you back on page 1, I meant...

Yes I noticed the fake Per, in fact I challenged him and put 8 minutes into him so imagine my disappointemt when I find out it's not you! Still he got an email of shame! The climb is long but never really killing (6-8%), you don't have to save everything for the climb, so can make an effort on the first half that is realtively flat.Good to see you back on page 2 @keithaitch and @AAAC 76C!

Fake per is nothing compared to the real deal!

Page 1 now and still one stage behind all the others accept Mereno.
Did stage 7 last night, short in distance but that doesn't make it any easier.
Got smashed by Mereno on the flat and the hill.
My 'chest pains' are occuring one in every two rides now so may have to try the reflux meds I was on before to try and confirm if its heart burn or a 'heart attack'.
Oddly enough it is affecting my ability to dig really deep.

Not like. I don’t know if they’re available over there but here on Amazon you can buy a pulse oximeter for about$12 that will show your oxygen saturation. Because I’m guessing you are not going to quit just because of a heart attack.
