Thanks for the encouragement mid-race! I was really feeling it at that point!
Heat wasnt too bad where I was but just too many top riders showed up so I wasnt even in the top ten!

CORRECTION: out of 30 finishers I placed 4th overall. Beat by a pro and two other active riders. Much better than I thought!

4th is an excellent finish considering the competition. I hope there's some more similar races and a few more of the chain gangers are able to join in.
 
Randy. Are you going to hold your own Sitka chain gang stage? I'll put up with the heat if you are :smile:
Sure. How about Geoff's Cothelstone ride tomorrow7/4 at 6 pm your time ? (9am Alaska time). It should cool off a little for you by then. Ill start the warm up at 6 and stop peddling with 2 minutes left.
I will add some cycle chat ghosts.

Can anyone else make it?

I will not make any reference to the holiday here.

I better give that a go before pm. Firmware updates don't work on mine though.

Anyone else up for the 6pm ride ?

Enjoy guys! . It's too hot and no fan and a poor wifi signal in the coolest part of the house make bkool a difficult prospect. Managed a sufferfest using 4g over the phone in the garden shade and it linked via strava into bkool! No heart rate or cadence data but good enough.

Strong work, Bill. I would say it's time to take the cone off.
Great race.
Thanks.
Thanks Randy. You're right I probably should take the cone off:tongue:. I think I'm also going to have to come clean about my new weight and get another downgrade from bkool.:sad:
At least I beat my old nemesis Adski and you beat Rick:laugh:. That was the old yellow Rick though so I think revenge will be sweet when he gets back (on both of us).:cycle:

Definitely too hot. I couldn't even consider it without a decent sized fan. I use air con as well but it hardly works. Can't wait for winter and the old chain gang starting up again. With Geoff back and running it with any luck:okay:
