[Bored Man]

Hi Jim. I noticed your Madeleine but didn't know if you'd re-done the velodrome or not. What is your new time for the velodrome and I'll get it into the results?

Hi Bill

Thank you

Jim

Haha! 2:28 on top... Sick puppy!

I had a feeling you had more in the tank.


It's going to be a good winter amigo

To be fair though that can't be me in the background. For one he's not wearing my kit and secondly he's not giving you a two fingered salute!

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

Session is password protected, password is announced in the main thread as soon as the session is up and running!

Course is Cheddar Gorge Climb

The warm-up will start 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 (0.0625 miles or 0.1 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 0.0625 (0.1 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.

Andy, it took 3 attempts before i realised i must be riding in solo mode by which point i was 3 1/2 mins behind boxers and decided to get off and have my dinner! I tried to look in but the connection failed so I went back to my chili con carne. And very nice it was too.

Excuse #22.1

Sorry I could t make tonight's handicap.. yesterday in my veledrome re-run I actually pushed so hard, my toenail on my right big toe actually punctured my skin.. sore as hell today..

So, short term domestic surgery resulting in a trimmed nail corner, and I'll have a go tomorrow evening..

Well done to all who hit the hill tonight.
