I'm up for joining in... will make an hour of pain a bit more interesting. I'm on for tonight's handicap session aswell, who else is about tonight.

"I'm there"

 

[Whorty]

I wouldn't mind catching the bus up Alpe d'huez if we can sort something out.

I must be one of the few Bkoolers who hasn't attempted that one yet -due to the fear of being rather ill half way up.

However I have done a few Moose climbs, and although i ain't quick, I have managed to complete them, so think I'm ready to give it a whirl.

I'm normally good for any evening, other then the scheduled forum nights of course.

I'm going for an Alpe d'huez in about 15 mins if anyone wants to join me

 

[Whorty]

I can make that as well.

@Whorty as it was your initial suggestion are you able to jump on the bus this Weds at 20:00.

@Soarerv8 - I agree with you on the impact of drafting on climbs based on the Moose climb we did together, but there may be more benefit with a bus load rather than 2 of us struggling.

Sorry, can't tomorrow due to work. Going to have a pop at it tonight. Thursday might be OK, or Sunday for a re-run

I have to do the handicap tonight monte. I've eaten that many biscuits today I'll basically be breaking even

Likewise, I'm doing the handicap ride... Isn't the d'Heuz stage tomorrow night ?

Yep handicap tonight bud. I just meant I don't feel I have a choice about doing it or not because of the amount of cr@p I've eaten today.

If it wasn't for shortbread I coulda been a contender!

OK, Handicap in 10 minute countdown, scheduled for start five seconds before 8pm...

OK, 6 seconds before 8pm!

You may well have to type "h" twice when you enter the password, as it will take the first one as a request to open the help text!

P.S. Has anyone else noticed the top right hand corner is partially covered by a white box since the bsim upgrade? Makes it hard to see the time. etc.

my screens fine Geoff.

Can you move Camlo off the start Geoff so we get the last rider position option?

 

[Add]

.....or do that!

Ooops, sorry! I wondered what would happen if I left her on the start! Now we know!

In future I'll have to make sure I pedal forward a few hundred yards, as I have done in the past.

Target set for you guys tomorrow night for the Alpe D'Huez : 1 hour 12 mins

I knocked 10 minutes off my PB so well chuffed. Those long flat stages have clearly helped me loads

 

[bobinski]

Well played TT

 

[Soarerv8]

Well done @bert1971 that was a proper battle. @LBHIFI I was pedalling my little legs off to keep you behind at the end.
