They will never know the beauty of Mt Aigoul or why only the best can keep theirs clean.

You must have passed @shimceltic.
What’s wrong with the first? Too slow?

@Brusgaard
Please remember to switch off the real weather unless it's a tailwind.
If it is we will smash 10 minutes easy but don't use deep rims or disc wheels

oh begger
my body just gave me a huge rollocking for hanging one on at and after the wake on thursday
it was not to keen about the 4.5 hour drive back yesterday afternoon but a brisk ride downhill not long after a full english was the last straw.
apologies @Brusgaard as i missed/ lost your wheel at the first swallow
had a couple more later but breakfast stayed where it should be wash down now with sports drink

On a completely different subject which we have visited before but of like to revisit... What tyres are we using?
I have a couple of spare wheels, mavic kysirium since you ask, dressed with a red Vittoria trainer tyres.
I'm keen to try my really good wheels on the trainer, surely their vastly superior hubs would help resistance wise, can't see the aero of the 58cm rims having much effect as the fan is pointed at me, but I'm loathe to risk the conti 5000 which I fear would be ripped to shreds by the roller.

Still using the tyre that came with the smart pro2
Oh wow, all three of us in that group @AAAC 76C @Rod McG got the same time, I thought I'd nicked it at the end, I guess not.
Pre-race plan was @Brusgaard and @AAAC 76C would form a formidable pairing so I wanted to try and hang onto their coat tails as long as possible then fall off the back and just try and stay ahead of the next group. Sounds like @AAAC 76C wasn't firing on all cylinders though. Brusgaard just shot off as usual and I wasted a a lot of effort trying to catch up. Rod and AAAC I think had paired up and swept me up, after a couple of failed attempts to break out I sat back and settled in for the drafting. With 30secs to go I hammered it and thought I'd done enough, wish I'd gone a little earlier.
Still that was great, some good opportunities for a bit of tactical racing.

I used the same as outdoor, Vredestein Fortezza Senso Xtreme Weather. Necessary in Denmark with all the flintstones, and the ones with almost no tiredust when used on the Pro. Tried some older Michelin and Conti4000, which were fine, but made a mess... The same with the blue Schwalbe Insider, which also gave me less speed, probably due to less grip on the roller.
