Thankyou for the 'you've had your butt kicked' Bkool message! Nice work, don't think I could beat that time.

The 6 lumps course looks a toughie. I thought Tommy was easily going beat the hour but by half way it was a close call. You did though

Only because you messaged me bud. The idiot in me couldn't turn down the challenge.

Also apologise for wearing the 'not red' team kit Bert and randy. I wasn't trying to make you throw up, I just forgot to change it pre ride .

Really like the idea of this !

Might have to look into a Bkool trainer I think looks fantastic

It's starting to be a bit quieter on the cyclechat leagues due to real world riding. From late Sept to late March it has been busy and quite competitive at all levels. Thats just the chat on this here thread.


On the virtual rides it is getting better . The session selection by the league organisers has been varied and in some cases very challenging , even for the rockets that take part . There have been a few innovations introduced in the last few months with the handicap rides and the team time trial handicap rides

Join the lunacy every little helps

Is that aimed at me? If so, you're very welcome

Well done Team Green, your Team time is 32:40 and you are now in second place

Latest Standings
Team White = 31:19
Team Green = 32:40
Team Not Red = 33:47
Team Blue = 33:49

Also, well done Bazzer, taking another nearly two minutes off your time. I think we may have to juggle the teams around slightly! It would be good to get five in at least some of the teams.

Who's up for next Tuesday's TTT, hopefully if you couldn;t make it this week you can have a go next week?

I think the course will suit drafting better...

Cheers,

Geoff

I should be able to make it ... so long as you don't clobber us too much on the handicap

I tried to high five you a few times but you left me hanging!

Sorry, yes it was aimed at you sir! Good skills, bet you were blowing after that? Another 31s off, I couldn't top that, no way!

 

[Whorty]

well that was nice and relaxing

thanks for all the messages aswell guys even though there hard to read when you have triple vision going up hills!

Beat me by 10 seconds, and @Nutty by 4 seconds .... very closely balanced, so much so it feels like all three of us will have to have another go

I had a small window of opportunity in between kids football and the birthday party of my eldest, so I did a dedicated bonus sprint stage session, and had a go at 1 and 2! Warning - bonus sprint stage 2 is a bit "ouch"! My ghost is out there to be challenged though!

Massive power nudging 400 watts!

I was contemplating challenging Bridgy's ghost till you said that!

Top quality goading!

@theboxers are you going to be able to make the HTTT this Tuesday?

@JLaw how about you? You'd be perfect to draft with Bert and GW as you had almost identical times on the previous couple of runs at Pico Penas!

@rob01792 Do you fancy giving the TTT a go 8pm Tuesday?

@Gaileb and @RamirezAGC, can either or both of you make the TTT this coming week?

I will certainly try to be there this week although I won't have Richard to call on for help if I mess up my start, which is quite likely, I'm not good with technology!! Does it matter that I can't be in team colours as I just renewed my kit a few days ago and have no credit left??

@bobinski Remember when you insisted that I buy a Sea Sucker roof mount for the bikes? I crumbled easily to your peer pressure and here it is. Takes 3 bikes held on by suckers, an incredibly scary prospect I have moddled it with my cyclocross bike as I felt it was most likely to accept being bounced down the road when the suckers unsucked.

Not a lot of metal on the roof so have suckered it to the rear sunroof so should at least get a good view of it flying off the lid.
