So, just a flat 10 miler tonight - going to be a nice "easy" one then......:wacko:

I hate starts that instantly go into a climb! At 400+ ft of climbing, I dont call it flat either :blink:

Whaaat?? Hills?? So you're suggesting Rick's misleading us with his description of "Straightforward flat 10 mile TT".

I'm focusing on the words "straightforward" and "flat" here

I don't tend to use Garmin Connect, as I use Strava instead. Strava syncs the rides, but as "virtual rides". This does show elevation gain etc. correctly for Bkool rides, but excludes them from "real" segments. I wonder if it's something to do with Garmin Connect not having a similar "virtual ride" setting so not recognising elevation gain on the stationary trainer?

It'll be 7pm start - as in warm up starts at 7pm and race starts at the end of the 10 minute warm up at 7.10pm. No handicaps, all start at the same time, it's stage 2 of the Feb chaingang league - http://www.bkool.com/classification/showIndividualLeagueClassification/1732.

(I'm sure Rick will be along to confirm all this later)

Oh well I don't like the look of that. Could you all sit on the start line until 7:40 and give me a half hour head start tonight?

I can't start at the same time as Adam or I won't be able to get back to give him his kit back.
Guys, you did notice that vertical axis of the graph for the course only goes up and down about 20m? ^_^ Total climbing 133m :girldance:
