Great ride guys, @BILL S I just can't ease up and let you catch me even once @Brusgaard has been dropped, your sprint finish haunts me.

 

[keithaitch]

Well done all. That was a tough ride for a down hiller. I had no chance to catch you Keith and I knew it so tried to make the break with Brusgaard at the start. It was of course futile.

Yes, it is taking me a while to get up to speed, I just have to try to limit the loss and then hit the hills hard and try and reel you in.

The rides aren't there to be approved yet, I'll do so as soon as they are.

A good strategy that seems to work well. For the moment

 

[perswe]

Well, that was nice.
So, drafting is no longer an option. Shame, as that was one of the fun parts of live racing (at least for me behind the stronger ones). So to me it seems more like a time trial now. Luckily now there are more around to time trial with.
I guess you’ve already covered the new start. Not exactly a bloc....well same for all and all that...
Well it feels good to be back anyway.

Just too bad it was not the league ride we were supposed to do.... 😓

Oh dear

Well, I'm not surprised. Didn't think it looked or felt like the profile scouted beforehand. At least you have already done the correct one on Tuesday...

 

[keithaitch]

Oh shoot! I started the wrong session, we have all just done a ride in the October's8 league, I am so sorry! I have changed the name of the November league to include the Chaingang in the title exactly to eliminate this problem. Sorry guys.

I have to say I wondered where my ghost was!

 

[shimceltic]

So can you swap it with the scheduled one or is it Saturday show down?

 

[keithaitch]

I feel like crap!

Drafting is still possible, just harder to do. The cyclist graphic has disappeared u and we now have wavy lines, though @Brusgaard thinks it may just be a bug in the latest release. I rode the unlimited league race this evening and was able to practice my drafting, there is still a noticeable effect when it kicks in and you have to be careful not to then overtake the poor guy you're tucked in behind.
Great to have you back.

If it’s truly downhill I say keep it for Saturday

I don't seem to be able to do anything so a Saturday showdown it is,started by somebody who knows what they are doing!
