Look OK, I’m also using an old GTX1060 in my computer.

Everyone riding on the right side of the road was reported by a number of riders today in the Danish league, Strange bug, but we are getting used to them... :sad:
Yes i just killed 4 spectators. I also love it when Jesus joins the session and at such a young age!

I once got a strava kudos from Jesus after a bkool session. I'm saving that notification for later reference...
 
Well that sucked. I started out good but the first time out of the saddle I slipped the non drive side crank. I'm going to have to take apart the new bottom bracket an remove the 2 spacers. I hope I didn't ruin the Crank splines.

Can't feel my legs...oh wait...the're still on the second climb.
Do lungs come in pairs? If yes...the second one is somewhere on the third climb.
On the 34th climb i called out for Jesus...but only my wife came...and told me to hurry up to fix the sauce for dinner. At least she could have helped me find the legs.
Well done @keithaitch! And @AndyMacca ! I got a smashung start and thought I should try to do some dammage to cut my losses. To make it a bit interesting for the viewers...but I knew it would only be a matter of time..couln't hold on to @AndyMacca but managed to not loose to much to remain ahead in the standings (right?). Not far behind @keithaitch in the totals I think...

Glad you suffered, i was dying out front desperately trying to get the i think 29 seconds on @perswe and hoping that @AndyMacca competitive nature meant he didn't sit up, wait for Per and then slowly reel me in like the fish i smelled like by the end. Great race guys.

I have a Jesus 'following me' on Strava, I had to do a double-take when a Strava Notification popped up "Jesus C is now following you." :laugh:

Just a question, especially for the technically minded. I use my laptop connected via hdmi cable to a non smart tv screen for rides. It's slightly inconvenient unplugging the power supply and I'm just wondering if i could get away with running the laptop on battery. I'd hate for it to lose power 700m from the end of a race or for it to impact the quality of the graphics or data feed. He's the laptop specs. Advice gladly received.

Short answer, no! Buy an extra power adaptor instead. They are usually cheap, and a non-branded one will probably work just fine.
Most laptops will throttle if low on power, and will eventually go to sleep, and you don’t want that during a ride!

I got a good start (for once) and managed to hang with @perswe and worked a little bit together before the inevitable happened and @keithaitch reeled us in on a climb (number two?) thought I'll just try and hold onto @perswe for as long as possible before he kicks me to the side of the road and goes off chasing Keith, I was absolutely xx(, way into the red as every minute passed though I did wonder, maybe this is Per's limit too? I was having to stand on the climbs to try and find some muscle fibres that still worked, other times sitting far back on the seat and pushing over the top. I can honestly say that was it, all in. I think one of the standing climbs I managed to break the draft with Per, I never thought it would last though. As we got near the end I think 2nd last climb, there was a glimmer of hope that I could hold Per off so just kept churning along. Drinking beer now, hoping to still be alive in the morning.
My watch says rest for 72hours, it's never been that long before, must've scared it. :laugh:
