When you went past your avatar shook his leg then clipped in!

I saw that in the drome but thought I must have imagined it!

I'm sure on the downhill @microkid avatar went past me with a cream cake and coffee

Well your imagination was caught on video in the race.

Anyway the name of the game was to stay safe and try and pull a team member to a better time. @Brusgaard is probably regretting me choosing him because our trainers react so differently to power and slope transitions and then there is the downhill draft overshoot making teaming very difficult.
And then, when the heavier man passes you and you spin up like mad with no reaction and then bang you overshoot your mark.
We managed to get some drafting going on the smoother parts of the course but in general I don't rate the drafting.

I’m sorry to say, but it would have been better for the team, if you had not waited for me. With @shimceltic slacking at the back (), we need you to do your best time and not wait for us mere mortals.

And I must admit that I just tugged in behind you whenever possible, only going past you on the descents where I had the weight “advantage”.

Looking at the data for the ride, it is very similar to Thursday‘s ride, 291w avg. vs. 289, 151BPM vs. 149 and 36.2kph avg. vs. 36.1. And I gained a full 4 seconds!!!

I need to gain 90w and lose 10kg. Any tips

I took it a bit easier tonight after Thursdays exertions, avg. HR 14BPM less during the race but only cost me 6watts av.g and 20seconds in time.... I should learn a lesson from that but probably wont.
Most of the race I was swamped by bots, think I managed a decent bit of drafting from one of them. cheers Benny!
Thanks for the 'go Andy' on the road Keith/Randy?

Or send the competition some of those great looking pizzas.

Surprised you noticed it, your avatar went past me on the phone with a cigar

Stop pushing pizzas and start pushing watts?

Every time I painted the road you guys were almost past it by the time it was done. I hope you didn't get wet paint on your tires. I'll have to paint it the night before.
I was watching on my I pad and tried to get a screenshot of the @Brusgaard and @AAAC 76C battle but kept missing it. If I would have been able to capture it AAAC would have appreciated the better Avatar graphics.

Grab a screenshot from the 1440p Youtube video and put in a nice frame for @AAAC 76C to enjoy.

In the spectator mode it does the pan from behind shot and there were times with you both in the shot from a low angle from the side that looked really cool.
