I'll definitely be there. I'll soon have my lowest bkool weight ever but don't expect to be within 3 minutes of the front runners. Seems that since I gave up sugar completely (now just agave) my weight just keeps dropping. Now 73kg.

73kg? I remember back in 1991 where my “normal” weight was 76kg. Haven’t been below 80 in at least a decade or 85 in recent years.

The only way is up!

Now if I could just do something about the sparrows ankles....

No change in the upwards direction since about 1991.

Took the day off but out fishing

Well done Steen, spent my legs getting back to you on the steeper bit and had nothing when it flattened out

Thanks. I was about 1 minute faster on the last climb than my January 2020 time. Must have been drafting more back then on the flats, as the total finish time was only 13 seconds faster. Back then I rarely stood up but just sat grinding, where as today was more like 10% grinding and I'm pretty sure that made a huge difference!

Bill must still be at it.

No, he finished just before the camera crew left.

I was 1 min 41s quicker than my November 19 time on the last climb.

Maybe it is all down to some changes to the speed algorithm then.

I'm definitely more bike fit than the previous time as I don't play football anymore.

I don't have sugar or fizzy pop and dropped weight even though I like beer!
Sugar and sweets are the devil

Well, yeah... I'm not giving up beer. Hope you weren't implying that could be an option.

No, by stopping sugar and sweet stuff it gives you a license to drink.

@BILL S
Did you cut out everything with refined sugar? Bread etc? Or just no sweets?
