One of the problems you may find is some riders go out fast and then fade away where you may be keeping a steady pace. Can you choose all riders and then have one giant chaingang to stream along and move up?!I tried that tactic yesterday. Problem was I ended up ghosting with riders slower than me so within a few mins I was on my own. 4 others ended up beating me by a few seconds (one by a minute) but the other 20 riders got an emailnext time I need to choose my ghosts better and gain some drafting advantage.
I just ended up being stronger on that course than I thought I would be, so apart from the 4 that beat me I didn't see the other 21 riders the whole race! I need to be more ambitious in my own ability in future
My replacement bkool pro has gone back to wiggle for a refund. I then hope to get the Kickr snap. I know it might put me at a disadvantage in the leagues but having had two bkool fail on me with the same fault I wanted something different. I'm not very competitive in the leagues anyway so nothing ventured....
Thanks Andy - sorry for the email!
I did mostly stick with Bill and DP but to be honest I felt pretty crap during and after and my HR was higher than normal, so I'm either coming down with something or the week or so I've spent over-indulging and not exercising has had its effect!
Quite happy with that time considering how I felt!

I dream of a top 100 like the summer cup. But the way I feel at the moment top 200 will be optimisticTop 150 is the aim
@Whorty the way you've improved over the last couple of months I think your target is an easy one. Aim for a top 100 and beat yourself

Just wanted you all to know I was supporting Cycle Chat.
I feking hurt though, these short blasts have never been my forte.
Just to consolidate the pain I did stage 1 of the Goats straight after.
To be honest it made holding 350 watts feel easy then halfway through Stig appeared and slowly but surely road through Breedon and then me.
I just could not stay with him so I had to settle with a steady pace and recovered a bit before the end and had another dig but to no avail he was too far away.
I think it depends how many people complete all the rides to be fair. I was top in the Summer, but mostly as I completed all rides but others missed some out. One of the benefits I guess of liking the hillier rides that others in that league are scared to ride. The goats league certainly sets us up nicelyI dream of a top 100 like the summer cup. But the way I feel at the moment top 200 will be optimistic

2/5ths of the Top 10 and 1/4 of the Top 20 is from this membership.
I feel almost embarassed to be one of the crew, at the moment, with you lot flying so high.
I am proud to hold the name CycleChat...
