Oh for goodness sake how many firmware updates does this damn thing want to do?
Sorry guys but the wife insisted I do a short ride tonight and have a few beers with her whilst watching the Wales/NI game. So I did a 30 min ride instead 
@rob01792 - I re-challenged you on one of my rides that you recently demolished my best time on. The Thai ride. You produced a ride 4 mins 40 secs faster than me. On my ride tonight I pulled back 2 mins 35 but I was still 2 mins 5 secs slower than you. Flippin heck, how fast was you going to get that time
I'm going to have to get much faster on the flat to beat your time

Might just have been trying harder than usual......Well apparently you haven't done yours.
Same watts/kg as me (2.2) but 27 mins faster LOL

In descending order of likelihood (least likely first) the reasons for this evening's performance could be:
1) abducted by aliens and they kept dropping me off at the top of hills
2) I have become a time lord
3) I have a fatal disease that @RamirezAGC and @BILL S know about and they were being kind
4) @RamirezAGC and @BILL S were just being nice
5) my week in the hills really toned me up
6) my firmware is scuppered
Hope it isn't 3 any of the others (so long as there was no anal probing going on in no 1) is fine by me.
Interestingly (to only me) I have done about 3 firmware upgrades and seem to get a different outcome on each. Tonight is genuinely the first time I have ever seen blue numbers going UP a hill and also the first time I had ever experienced a slingshot. Have since done another firmware upgrade. Ahhh it was fun whilst it lasted.

Sorry Ramirez, there is no way I am opening any more videos on this forum no matter what they are called. Blame Bill

@Soarerv8 I'm going for #2. At the start you slipped away and then on the first hill I came crawling back, my game plan was already forming, work hard on the hills and then let the pixie dust blue numbers take me downhill, so with the hill ahead of me I put my head down and turned on the power
. Quick look up and {POOF} you were gone and ahead of @BILL S 
Bloody time lords, coming over here, stealing the lead. Wouldn't have happened if we were still in the EU...... (Too Soon?
)Your latest firmware may well be kriptonite for you
Did you see the sudden breaking of speed when you transitioned between the fast downs into the steep inclines?
ha ha sorry
