re TTT do we want the voice server again so we can listen to CXRAndy's HUGE fan and the rest of us panting and swearing? If so I'll sort out a proper voice server rather than my desktop PC.

I thought the TTT's were great fun and using teamspeak definately added something, Andy's jumbo jet engine and all! Other highlights included Adam always turning up with no time to spare but still managing to carry the rest of us round the course. And kipster battling up the hills with a broken collarbone! From memory it wasn't going to cost much to set up a dedicated server kipster and I'd happily chip in.

I send to have something similar but the legs twisted so I got one of these, pretty powerful

I use one of these mounted behind as a tail wind and screen the lower section of my back wheel so it only blows on the spokes at the top of the wheel:

I had to fit the grid as we lost a couple of cats to it and it was a begger to clean my bike and kit afterwards as well.

Had a go at Stage 9 this morning and it was very tough - 1hr 11mins and I won't be revisiting that one.

A word of warning for us lesser mortals, save something for the last mile. Feel free to use my ghost, but you shouldn't have much trouble leaving me on the climbs.
I was hoping to have a pop tonight but got back from work too late. Working from home tomorrow so hoping to jump on the bike at 5-45 ish. Will look to use your ghost if that's OK, although I think 1hr 11 mins will be a struggle for me. I was expecting closer to 1hr 20+

Morning all, thanks for the fan tips. I will have a look through and get myself one

I completed stage 8 yesterday of the summer cup and used for the first time ghosts from a previous ride. Rob, sorry I used you (not sure if there is any etiquette for using somebody) but it was a great motivation to keep pushing and made the time go a lot quicker. I managed 50min 38s which I was really pleased with.

Onto the “infamous” stage 9 which I am going to do next Monday, if anyone fancies doing at the same time? I will aim to start around 8pm.

Ghosts are there to be used and abused by all :thumbsup:. Just don't make a habit of it, OK :cry::cursing: :whistle:.
