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 The Shelf
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.

. The osteopath did a number on me this morning and I'm really sore 
.
, but taking part is a definite no no. Heat and more heat is the order of the day at the moment 
. Plus some stretching if I can tolerate it
