I was thinking about that Canadian ride you just did. I did in in real life in 2010. Long before Strava.

Looked lovely round there, the houses seemed to be massive!

I am joining the TdF league if anyone else is interested.
I intend to do Stage 1 tomorrow after a week and a half of rest.

I think I might be in already.

You’re going to make me do this today just to see if we can get the top 3 spots. I might have to have another doughnut or two.

Get it done randy.... Can't remember doing that 1. Just done stage 17 tdf. Nasty hill in the middle

Well that was brutal.
Absolutely left standing by @JacobSkovsgaard and the Dark.
I thought my puny 76kg frame would be able to keep up with the Great Dane (92kg) and the Dark (88kg) but I was left over 4 minutes behind.
I rode with Jacob to the foot of the climb and Dark looked like he was a couple of minutes back but just breezed past me. Jacob did well to hold him of at 22 seconds or so but to be honest Dark was a ghost to Jacob as they both were to me.
I don't see a yellow jersey coming my way and don't think there is an 'old farts' jersey either!

Not enough slope and 2 slightly uphill sections. Not even my best time of 9:40. I'll need more doughnuts.

The downhill races are my only chance and you two still beat me.

Is that laughing gas or oxygen? Either way would help in post ride recovery

Calibration gas with a trace of helium so as I’m riding it sounds like Mickey Mouse swearing.

The helium is making you lighter, no good on the down hills
