You can have my spot. I'm not going to be able to make it today. This work really does get in the way of my Bkool. I just made active 2 and am 92 kg.

Aww Randy? We have unfinished business in the handicap. Just ring in ill, say you caught something off the forum, seems like everyone here is suffering with something.

Geoff, sorry to have to kop out but just finished a circuits class and feel a bit iffy. Think last nights mountain stage took a fair bit out of me.

Ps: this talk of pulsing technique in the chaingang races - I'm sticking to constant effort.

Have you done one yet Rick?

Swam 2km last night instead of turbo, all about the arms, save those legs.....

That's a shame. Is Gail going to take your place?

She says she will.

Fraid not

Just hasn't worked out for me but so glad I rested last week as it made a huge difference to my performance on saturday

The ideal would be to release, just as you tuck in behind for a draft slingshot off me....real James Bond style!

Have you given the DD anymore thought? I am going to do it, barring a tropical storm. As the long one is the same price as the shorter version, I'll just drop down to that on the day should the weather be rubbish, my fitness be drastically below that required or I fall off again.
You definitely should, as you could potentially do every single one since its emergence last year, and become a regular. I can see it gathering quite a following in years to come.

Adam do u have a file with the devil staircase that could be put on bkool

Hang on a mo... Lars is Active 6 and you are Active 9, perhaps he should have more than 15 seconds?

It's Roleur1 you want to worry about, he's Pro 2 and starting 2 minutes head of Lars...

ahhh...but despite that...in my head (as Mulder would say) I want to believe I am pro2..my ambition is such.....and I want to think my power is giving me a Froome busting 8w/kg......but in reality my fitness level is based on readings from a brand new but crock from the box classic trainer. I am seeing about 3.5w/kg which is distinctly average 3rd cat territory...I shall be falling in fitness category pretty quickly I would think

I eat food and drank tea, so rested everything. It won't make me quicker though.

I aspire to be distinctly average

This later start time has got me confused. Have I got time for pancakes?

 

[Roleur1]

course you have...loads of them....dont spare the whipped cream and syrup.....wash it down with a couple of coffees. Carb loading....timing is key. You want the pancakes about 19.50............

Mmm, yes, I think I do somewhere, in fact I'm pretty sure I uploaded the 1st 50 miles of the DD and they 3D'ed it, but I can't find it now.
Not much point putting the Staircase on BKool though, since it's just 25% for about 600m. The turbo can't replicate that, since it maxes out at whatever the Cyclechat boffins say it does.
It's brutally steep, but only very short. And then you pretty much free fall the other side.

Blimey, I thought that was Bill posting again

Sorry to hear that Rick. Sounds like with all this running and circuits and bkool too you are at risk of running yourself down. (snips sarcy comment) be careful mate

Wonderful advice, had me laughing.
