That was brutal

That was a tough interval session. Thanks guys for the encouragement those who posted. I think I saw Bob post just after I passed you. I thought there must be something wrong, I wasn't expecting to catch you.

The last climb I lost focus and power and began to pedal square. I thought I could catch John on the final descent and nearly did. Excellent workout.

Bkool must of sorted the issue with the start for your kickr - you lot took off... and left me standing.

Soarer, thanks for pointing out my 149 rpm. After that I started looking at the rpm. I think that's actually just as high as it reads so it might have been higher.

I am glad so many of you enjoyed the suffering . It made my Sunday ride on it seem sedate . I should be around for the re-run Saturday

 

[BILL S]

Did you get blue speed in the 11% incline? - killed me

I did.

 

[LBHIFI]

Geoff, thanks for cheering but AAAC was just too strong. I did seem to have the upper hand on the downhill bits, but AAAC more than compensated for that on the uphills.

I feel your pain Bert. Trying to pedal in the big ring up a 12% is nigh on impossible isn't it! Once I did change down I was tempted to just ride round on the small ring but I would have been pedalling at midnight! Still, good to have a taster for the pain and discomfort which will be Saturday's re reun.

so impossible, I got off ran to the garage got a screw driver and adjusted it
was no way I would have finished that on the big ring

No I have borrowed a bkool pro from my relative. I am now playing on an equal field I have to give it back though, hopefully bkool will have sorted the issue in the meantime

Ok I am trying to do the ride but can't see the 3d version just 2d as happened when my subscription ran out - can't be that again - any ideas?!

 

[bridgy]

Tried turning off and on again and think that has worked! Got to warm up again now though!

That twisted me all out of shape! I know I've over cooked it when I go from sweating like anything, to really cold. I kind of go into shock. And it hit me on that last lump! I was jiggered. Which kind of suggests I need to do it again...and again....and again...until I don't 'crash' on the last lump.

Stop making excuses ya wimp, get back on there.

Sounds like you all had fun out there.

Bit evil that I pick that course and then don't shown up to do not myself.

I found that to be the toughest chaingang yet. Much worse than a long straight 30 miler with a big hill at the end.

Perfect storm; brutal ride, mechanicals and the guilt that comes with choosing to "look after the nipper" at home whilst Mrs B takes eldest son to Parents evening. We all knew I was going to sneak onto the turbo. It meant I only had a short warm up but to be honest I was looking for every excuse to finish and when I heard the door close on their return from school I stepped off the bike. Quick chat and then I decided to catch the end to only to see pain. Picasso, Dali, whoever, choreographed by Spielberg as you guys stormed a Spanish landscape collapsing around you all. And everytime I clicked on Adski and saw his kit I thought of Jackson Pollock
