Sorry Bob I'm talking nonsense (no change there then!) - it seems I HAVE beaten you by 42 seconds on the neighbourhood cruise stage! I must have been looking at the league before it was updated with my new time when I said you were still ahead of me

I am heartened by the effort that a youngish and physically fit specimen like you has to put into beating little old me

Well I haven't been called "young" in a very long time - I like it though!I am heartened by the effort that a young and physically fit specimen like you has to put into beating little old me
And yes, I do have to put a LOT of effort into beating you! It took me a long time to catch up to you in the races initially, then I had got used to being ahead of you for a while until your recent resurgence! Looking at recent results I think there's a few of us quite closely matched, and biting at the heels of Bill, LBHIFI and AAAC - it should be a very competitive winter of Bkooling!

I am sure it will be but biting at their heels only makes them faster! I know that is the nature of competition but short of reducing ones weight
their seems to be little prospect of being able to rein the buggers in despite all the

MisQuoting Mr Green
You only get faster by racing a faster opponent

This is an old favourite of the Mountain Goats. Possibly just before your time TB. I think we've run it twice perhaps.
Anyone remember colle del moncenisio?

Just done the velodrome at 43.36 and the dummy run at col de madeleine.
Identified an area of my training that I seriously need to improve big time as I found that was worse than a goat ride.
Shocking

That was a goat ride back in January of this year did it in 1:36:30 think it was the hardest one yet
How does that work, where three people have times of less than 10 seconds??!I doubt anyone will beat heavy biker on that one
Also, someone needs to tell Lorenzo Dealbertis that other rides on Bkool are available

Tonight's Chaingang Race is called Saler-Cullera
Start time is as usual 7pm with 10 minute warmup. No password.
Bob, you can set off when the countdown is 3 minutes to go (as promised)
And have you nipping at my heels? No bleeding way Bill. My warm up will have to be the race that is my commute and which finishes with the fiercely steep Col D'Tulse Hill and then straight up to the loft to catch the start. I,ll try and stay with you for as long as possible bit i have very tired legs. I had the pleasure of being caught up in a race with a female cyclist much of the way home last night. She claimed a strava QOM reflecting the effort. Me, just very sore legs
