Lets see if we can do it on Saturday Bob, if I can catch you that is. I was also hoping to draft with you and Irish Al but you were not there and Al's and my riding styles were just way to far out to be able to attempt it. The old classic/pro thing. So quite lonely ride for me, and bloody hard work. The AAAC steamroller flew past in no time, but it took me ages to catch and pass anyone. Really good fun and great workout trying though.

That was a lot of fun. But now back at work and wrung out makes for a long afternoon. I like to think I finished at 11 am- way ahead of everyone.

Basically the Live tab only shows 20 rides, you have to filter it down in the advanced filter as in the link below

GREAT work Geoff. It looks quite good to watch too. I gave that everything, and Saturday will be even tougher.
Although, I just got 'that look' from the missus when I said we were rerunning it Saturday, because we have my parents round for Xmas dinner! They were in NZ and missed it this year. I told her she'd be fine entertaining them for 45 minutes, but 'the look' would suggest she needs more convincing.
Leave it with me!

Thanks Gail and well done.
You took some catching, and I think we both have really improved since the first attempt at this stage last month. It's nice looking at a leader board turned upside down for a change.
However, I think there may be a downside, and we are likely to suffer at the hands of the handicapper for the next attempt.
Apart from getting fitter I can put some of my improvement down to the purchase of a track pump last weekend. I've never had one and only ever used a feeble hand pump. Since I've put a decent amount of air in the back wheel I have seen a dramatic improvement on my times on other routes I have done since Saturday. I never thought it could make such a difference, but it obviously has.
Tonight was still very painful and I had nothing left at the end. Kipster helped 'pull' me up one of climbs - first time I've ever drafted as I've never been able to catch anyone before.
Great videos Geoff and I didn't realise I had blocked access to my stats, will sort that out.

Ok...didnt know there was a procedure to follow. Whats the password? I haven't been on here for a few days and just expected it to be there in live, visible.
Geoff - yep. Frustration city here. I was really looking forward to getting in the mix & getting my ass kicked. Ill try for saturday at 1700...Ill be doing a 3 hour road ride in the am so it will be an interesting ride.
So if I follow the procedure and get on the sim say 20 minutes before, will the ride be visible or does it only become visible when the warm up is commenced?

Ha I did something similar as he came by I tried to stay with him for a bit of a tow and actually had a tank slapper. Whole experience lasted about 5 seconds.

Today's Improvers, any special pleading before Handicaps are increased accordingly?
I think Randy and TheBoxers had already taken big hits, so nothing much to worry about.
