Well done to all participants!

Randy and Bertie that was quite a close finish wasn't it. Oddly Bkool seems to have lost my ride.

Oddly Bkool seems to have lost my ride.

Don't worry, I can't see any of the rides yet, even the ones I approved. I guess it'll take a time to catch everything up!

Yeah they lost mine too.at least for now.

I would really like it if in these races you could see watts, speed etc. Time Ticking down for all taking part. You can in Zwift. Mind you it would be pretty scary watching AAAC watts and speed! Especially as he bore down on you.

I put a lot- pride prevents me saying all!- down to getting my tyre pumped up properly.

I tried briefly to stay with you, I don't believe I could have squeezed enough air into my tyre to make that happen.

Immense congratulations to GoldWolfie, who despite winning by miles on Thursday, improved his time again!

I must admit, I thought you would struggle to repeat your performance, well done indeed.

Indeed so well done Goldwolfie I was really impressed when you came thundering by, thought (wrongly) I would be able to hold you off

CLOSE !!! i think we all thought the same thing - he ain't coming pass without a fight ! you sped up , Randy was on my tail and closing fast and i was crying - bkool has lost my ride as well but hope it will turn up soon

 

[Whorty]

Well done Bert great ride everyone had nothing less for the last 2 miles so could only watch Bert whorty and turbo Tommy ride in to the sunset but did start worrying as I see bobinski closing down on me gave me a little bit of a push a lay down in a dark room is in order now.

Had that course been an extra 0.5 miles long you'd have had me. I was totally spent. It was only the great encouragement from everyone watching that kept my legs moving For some reason @TurboTommy seemed to have stopped before the line ... don'y know why. @bert1971 was much too strong for me, just couldn't hold on to his wheel

Great effort Rick - I bet you surprised a few running specialists on the cycling leg!

yeah that was the fun part. Particularly satisfying going past some guy hunched over his aero bars with 3 miles to go.

 

[Whorty]

I'm battered. I had more in the tank compared to Thursday but was totally buried with a mile to go. Then I disconnected right before the line. Bit of a shame. It said on the screen my session would be restored when I next logged in but I guess not.

I wondered what happened. You passed me and was pulling away then towards the end I overtook your stationary ghost. I figured something was not right.

 

[gbrown]

OK, new handicaps calculated, let me know if/when you'd all like to run that stage again.

Bert1971 won't be starting anywhere near the front if you do!

Cheers,

Geoff
