Well done Lars - back in your rightful place - ahead of me!

That's a huge improvement - appreciate you may have put extra effort in as well but it does highlight what a difference the tyre can make too.

 

[Whorty]

Yoo Hoo... that'll be me then..

Happy to ride with you today Jim. I need to do a ride, but want to save something in my legs for Goat 4 tomorrow - I have 2 mins to make up on the Goat league off @Monte

See you there chaps. Might have to drop out before the end as alleged going out this evening

 

[Whorty]

Don't you be fibbing to us Whorty, no rushing off.

I won't, honest

How long is this evening's session likely to last?

Feel free to leave me on't hills and I'll catch up with you on't tuther side. Don't do hills... I've had a few days off so should be pretty strong this aft..

How long is this evening's session likely to last?

Anything between 48 minutes and 1 hour 20 based on the completions so far.

How good are you? I'm aiming for 1hour 10. But I'm handicapped as I'm in charge or carrying red lamp.

Ken?

 

[smutchin]

How good are you?

That remains to be seen!

My previous experience with turbo trainers amount to desultory dabblings. I'm intending to get into it more seriously over this winter.

With this bunch of degenerates nothing gets taken seriously until the third beep

Yes, sorry I'm at a birthday party this evening, so can't be there for the rerun. So I thought I would switch the tire and tube from my race bike to my BKool bike, and have a go at the chaingang stage this afternoon.
Pretty much the same effort as last time, although I little more hard earned this time, but a world of difference in the mysterious universe of Bkool.
The race tire is a worn down Conti GP4000 S 23mm and the tube is a Michelin Aircomp latex.

I'm going in opposite direction. Conti gp to ultra. Hopefully it doesn't have a negative effect.

I'm gonna be there at 5pm - taking it easy though as my legs now ache after doing it two days on the trot!

Who's starting the ride, will it be you @BILL S?

When you join the ride at 5pm @smutchin, remember to search for it in LIVE rides, not in your league rides - you'll know it's the right one if you see some of our names in there at the warm up

 

[bobinski]

i will be there but planning to race in Zwift tomorrow so saving my legs and lungs.

Stick with Jim and myself at the back and it'll take about 1hr 10 mins. Unless you're feeling really strong, whatever you do don't go flying off the start and trying to keep up with @bridgy who will be finishing it an about 47 mins So it'll likely take anywhere between 47 and 70 minutes

Anyone started the session?
