Will do my best to be there, still got a cold so breathing might be fun, not sure i'll be competetive so a great opportunity for RickB, Bridgy, Runar and C J Bon to pip me in the league standings. RickB will get past me, I'm not going to fight that one

I might have a go and make sure Bridgy only gets 5 minutes ahead, if I fail that, i'm likely to fail on the next couple of places as well That hill might have me walking up it.

Ah yes, those 5 minutes you took out of me on "The Rise and Fall of Steve Purce" where you employed that dastardly "on/off power" technique?! (And where I was a bit rubbish too!)

Same here Kip. My immune system got wiped out at the weekend so got a nasty cold right now. And now I just find out that tonight's chaingang is 48km
Looks like I'll be setting out slow in the hope that I can make it to the end.

I guess I should share some responsibility with you Rick for suggesting it in the first place - sorry everyone! Looking forward to it in a masochistic kind of way (I think?). When I was riding up that final big hill I crawled past another cyclist pushing their bike up the steepest part who said hello and then added "no need to reply!" as they could see I wasn't capable of talking . It is going to be EPIC!

It will likely be past my bedtime before I get around this one.

Thursday is normally 'big shop' night at Morrisons, and I'm normally hurrying up Mrs Goldwolfie to get back for 7pm. I might tell her to take all the time she wants tonight, so I have a decent excuse and settle down to watching you lot struggle.

But there again, it's got to be done sometime.

Excuses, excuses! heard them all before and then I get left sitting by the 'sick'

Seriously guys, hope you feel better soon and be good to have to to spur me on regardless

...and now to make my own excuses. Some of you may have noticed a couple of running attempts on Strava (which seem to have ported to Bkool as well). Been roped into having a go at a sprint Duathlon next weekend (2 mile run, 10 mile bike, 2 mile run). I dont run so its been taking its toll trying to get some miles in this week. Hopefully be worth it though - dont want to disgrace myself!

Yeahhhhh, sure....

 

[bridgy]

Well I feel fine, haven't done a 24 hour MTB race last weekend, haven't been training for a duathlon and my wife has no plans to go food shopping. So what's my excuse going to be??

 

[Cjbon]

Well if everyone is having a go I have not been on a bike all week so I'll be a little rusty

 

[bobinski]

Blimey, all these excuses...

Can I mention my own?
Gp thinks problem with my knee is cartillage So, referred to consultant for poke around and possible scan. Whilst I wait for an appointment i have been doing easy daily rides in Zwift, even getting up early to get them in before work. I am not sure i should do 48km at the moment let alone that uphill bit that now has us all worried but also But i might start it so i can be amongst those who will one day look back on the bkool ride where Bill sped off at hyper speed again, apparently unaffected by his herculean endeavors the previous weekend, with Rick and AAC in hot pursuit. At least i will be able to say....I woz there!

We may be broken..but we are not defeated! Bring it on!!

My excuse is that one of my legs fell off at work today, and although I have reattached it with duct tape, I am sure as to how well it will hold. I will of course endeavour to do my best.

Oh yes, I also have dengue fever, cholera and a bit of a tickly cough.

But I hope to be there at 7pm.
