Sorry team white. I'm not much cop at pacing

too quick for us mate

 

[bazzer99]

Didn't seem to get any benefit from drafting for some reason.

That is very diffcult to pace right.

Sorry team not red, I held you back, I seemed to have started late and put in an effort to catch you all and then just struggled to stay with you. Climbs aren't great with the collarbone as I cant pull on the bars, and I seemed to catch you at the bottom of climbs

Were you in front!

No worries Kipster, good effort with a broken collar bone. We tried to pull you to halfway.

Yeah, sorry. First one I've done of these so wasn't sure how to gauge it. Have to talk tactics next time

Thanks guys, I was shouting to tell you to go, but you couldn't hear me.

The wife came in to chat to see how it was going, I couldn't talk

That was difficult to maintain a draft. I have had a nightmare two hours before the start. BT infinity was activated this afternoon I wouldn't reach the computer via wifi or through the older router as a link neither through the wifi extenders. So in the end I had to dig my old phone out setup a tether and use mobile data. Worked quite well and not too jittery on data.

The whole team time trial certainly grabs your attention to the point I forgot to change gears sometimes for the hills and lost momentum, sorry about that team

We just held off the Blue team but don't know what actual time was ??

Were you in front!

Yeah, for most of it but when I was drafting , made no difference. well didn't seem to anyway

I think you had it right mate we just struggled to keep up with you

No worries kipster. Could tell you tried your guts out to get level.

Definately a difficult course to get a rythem on. andy I found the same thing with concentration.

 

[bobinski]

A cautiously optimistic well done team blue
I lost signal once third of the way through but kept on and glad to see my guys in front. Pretty spent for the last lump and so had to let them go. Great fun and sorry to have missed the photo finish

Who actually won on the road?
