So, once again Thursday, named after Thor so time for us to put the hammer down! I'll be there to start it as usual, hope you all can make it.
ok, lets give this a shot...at least i wont need a warm up, its almost 7pm in my part of the world, presently around 41C (bout 106F) so if i aint warmed up by now, I'm never gonna be LOL
personally, i dont think anyone of my size and fitness level in their right mind would attempt this, luckily, I'm not in my right mind, ive been out of it for a several years now

Just a little aside. Have just finished a 40 minute video conference with two guys from bkool specifically about a trial that was run last week to test the beta version drafting but also about bkool in general. I hope by establishing direct personal contact with them we will have an in or ins that can be used to resolve problems we have.
I expressed the opinion that the new drafting that we tested and that is in the current beta is better in terms of the sensation, it's almost back to what it was a year ago, but that the graphic, which is different again from the wavy blue lines is still not as good, in my opinion, as the old one with the cyclists infront and behind you with an indication of when you or they are drafting. If they could just highlight you in that graphic for me that would be best. I also told them that for me the biggest thing that bkool was currently lacking was on the social side. We have managed to create this group and I know the Danes have something simlar only much bigger but I think a lot of bkoolers are on their own. I don't care if I'm 20th or 30th in the Winter Cup I only care that I'm ahead of @perswe whereas in our league I'm really interested in who is beating who and am buggered if I'm going to let @Mark68 hold on to me on a climb! They seemed to take in and take note of everything I said (In Spanish).
Finally they want to run another drafting test in January with as many people as possible hopefully 50, once I know the date and time (I told them evening), I'll let you all know and we can all ride it as a team.... @BILL S on the front doing some work for once!
Time to get ready for tonight's stage. Good luck and don't go too hard till it starts to really ramp up.

Anyway what's wrong with me looking at your back wheel Keith? I think it's a nice tyre but it is a shame a can't hold on to it. I think even with drafting I won't be able to hold on for long

Well that was harder than expected and slightly disappointing, especially the bit before the hard climb which is actually a very gradual 1-2% climb, not the up and down that we had. Great battle between @BILL S and @Brusgaard i think you probably both need a lie down!
