Luckily I was playing attention. Nearly choked on my Snickers mind you.

well that was a disaster, got the boy off zwift late, rushed to get to the warmup, wasn't paying attention and the race started, wait for stuff to get to zero then off. Doing ok and the laptop tells me I forgot to plug the power in and it's about to go to sleep, panic, plug power in, too late, hibernation occurs and re join several minutes later down in 18th, got a few places back then lost places on the descent to those riders with a body structure designed for such things
When we were side by side for a minute I thought this is great, I'm up there with kipster! Then suddenly remember you'd already said you were struggling badly... Quite demoralising fighting to stay with you and at the same time picturing you with a sick bucket next to the turbo...

Looks like the session has me paused for 327 seconds (just over five minutes)
Where do you see the time paused on the ride @kipster ?

I was pedalling like a maniac down every hill, trying to hold my lead, and I can only assume Bridgy was doing the same because every now and then he would inch closer in the downhills.
I'm gutted...also got caught out at the start, logged out and then re-joined just pushing to get a time for the stage and then I lost internet connection (1st time it's happened to me) turns out it was my own fault as rushing meant I didn't connect to the right wireless extender.
Will have to do the stage tomorrow as I can't do Saturday's re-run. Well done to everyone that stuck with it.

I want a drug test on Boxers, I'm sure he has a moped engine on his bike. Either that or his trainer is set up on a desending hill. One second I'm just ahead then just behind and suddenly he's 1:40 ahead. I'm sure it's not my fault

Can someone clear something up, in regard to gaining more speed downhill are you wasting your time peddling like mad when you have blue numbers, obviously like to for training side of it but for getting a better time?

Also, not sure if it makes any difference I pedal like the clappers until the speed turns blue. On the downhill I can pedal to about 39mph then I have nothing more to add.just cannot keep up with you downhill and I thought we were of the same "cuddly" build
Further apology to all!
That was anything but flat and down!
There were a couple of unexpectedly steep hills hiding in there!!

Nope once it is blue you are adding nothing unless you can pedal it faster than thatCan someone clear something up, in regard to gaining more speed downhill are you wasting your time peddling like mad when you have blue numbers, obviously like to for training side of it but for getting a better time?
