If it helps I could send you a plaster cast of my undercarriage

It would help me immensely. My daughter's tree house is due an upgraded roof and with a bit of waterproofing it could be ideal!

yeah, go ahead. small package so postage will be nice and cheap

It was a cold day!

Yeah might want to run that one past the council's planning department first

TT, i disagree. I cannot move about so easily to relieve pressure when on the turbo as when on the road so any hour plus turbo or goat rides and its best shorts for me.

Yeah fair do.

I'm the opposite in that I have bibs with thinner pads that I can only get away with on the turbo. Just goes to show how subjective it is.

Shame they didn't move it further into the summer rather than back into April. Not that there's ever a guarantee of good weather.

Yep!

Tonight's Handicap Chase is a special Handicap Climb with adjusted rider weights to equalize Watts/Kg

Session is password protected, password is chase (type h twice if help screen appears)

Course is Rundlestone - http://www.bkool.com/profile/detail/576968?durationType=DISTANCE&lapCount=1

I will start the warm-up close to 8:00pm BST (UTC+1) to ensure the race starts around 8:10pm BST (UTC+1).

Everyone taking part should adjust their weight to the allocated value before entering the warm up, preferably with at least 5 minutes to go.

Weights are generally reduced, in some cases considerably, to achieve the target Watts/Kg, so speeds should be higher than usual. The main part of the session should not take more than around 20 minutes, and in any case less than 30 minutes, to avoid changing Fitness Levels. Anyone taking longer than 30 minutes would be advised to discard their session without saving.

The Start (for everyone) should be between 8:05 and 8:10, when the warm-up ends.

Once underway, there is a short neutralized zone (0.15 miles or 0.24 km) to avoid taking advantage of the lowered resistance at start, where no-one is allowed to overtake @JLaw (or if he is not present, you must gradually increase speed to a maximum of 20 mph (32 kph) until you pass the 0.15 (0.24 km) point.

If anyone else wants to take part, please can you let us know here and we can work out a weight Handicap from your FTP power value or similar.

Nope, can't make it today as I'm at the vacation house w/o my trainer.

Oh, dear, can we assign someone else to lead through the neutralized section?

Any volunteers?
