Great ride @microkid, we (your loyal underlings) expect you to lead us from the front this week as we charge full pelt into battle, do or die, or possibly both!
Only a couple of minutes between the teams with two rounds done and just a couple of people on each team MIA.

Don't expect any leading if the route goes uphill.... 😢

@keithy, can you review my stage 1 re-run please?

Hurt like hell and still couldn’t beat @Goldwolfie but took back some time..

Have done Jim. What a hero, takes one for the team and puts the Bigboys into the lead by over a minute. Over to you Danes, any of you got the cajones of the man from the rainy north... No @Randy not you!

I'm training for the downhill, currently eating chorizo and will be adding as much bulk as possible before Thursday. Dedication

Hopefully I wont be MIA much longer, just trying to get over a cold!

Actually it's down the other side which is the harder side. I have fond memories of racing, and beating a group of motorcycles down it. It's pretty technical at times and while it does get slightly less steep towards the bottom it's still dropping at 4-5 % for the last 3/4 kms so I don't think anybody is going to catch @microkid but we can have fun trying to hang on to him!

Stage 3 - one to look forward too at last. I may even have some company this week.
