Whorty, how do you see this view of the stats please - what do I click on please?

You can click on this icon

on the line of the rider ... so for you i clicked on the icon below and it shows me a graph with speed, HR, cadence etc. Your HR was about 159 max and mine was 177 max. Same watts per kilo (well 0.1 difference) for us both, but our HRs are so so different. If I rode at your HR I'd still be cycling that course

No worries guys

I'm going to try and do a ride everyday so anyone's welcome to jump in when they feel like it. Tomorrow I'm starting around 7:30 @CXRAndy but maybe a little later most days.

@worty I'm not sure how long it'll take mate but I'll let you know tomorrow

Good luck with the wife tomorrow kipster. The weathers screaming out for outdoor rides at the moment but I'm still trying to protect my chest a little.

Are you planning a ride for wensday morning I could make that depends if it's not to early
Forecast for the next few days are going to be bloody cold i dont fancy doing long miles in that

I'm going to try to do a ride everyday bud. We could start later if that suits better. But 8:30 is prob the latest. That any good for you? I suppose I'm thinking of finish time so shorter runs could start later I guess.

No worries bob. I'll wait in warm up. So you want a warm up or shall we warm up as we go so to speak?

 

[<Tommy>]

I think I'll open a new thread too so we can talk without hijacking this one.

Andy,
To answer your question-no, should be later today. Bit of man flu and Christmas excess getting in the way of fumbling to get the cassette on

I know what you mean, I seem to have a inkling I'm going to be ill this week, just not quite on par, I cycled to my little appointment this morning, bloody cold out there

Jacob has pipped Daddy Pig's 1st place on the opening leg of winter cup.

Ooh, is DP going to re attempt to take the top spot?

Of course, but not until the new year due to xmas injuries have healed....

I would leave it alone and see how the rest of the cup goes, don't kill yourself getting seconds back when you might need minutes somewhere else.
If you do need to steal the time do it closer to the end of the league under the cover of darkness as the chance of re-runs decrease.
Personally I think we should stick to one shot at each stage but then again who cares?

First ride on NEO. I am a bit of a klutz so even putting a cassette on the turbo and attaching the bike is a bit of an exercise in self doubt and criticism. However, all up and running. Very quick test in bkool ona 13% suggests there is a lot of pain and tears to come. FECK!
Off to Zwift and a quick lap of Watopia suggests all fine, watts a bit lower but then I am sore from the ride with TT this morning so difficult to tell. Really enjoyed climbing and sprinting out of the saddle. And the freewheeling.
It's darned quiet but that means I noticed every creak in the frame/bottom bracket and my word my drivetrain needs a clean.
I think I can kiss goodbye to Team Blue-anyone looking for a sub

With any luck I'll be a few kg's lighter anyway, so near the end will be better. As long as I beat old dirty tatche then I'll be a happy man...

Always space on the team white bus ... Well, I say space on the bus ... given we're all fatties, it's quite cramped on the bus, but at least you know we'll stop off at the kebab house on the way home

Hi Jim. What you'll need to do is wait until the stage goes live then from the league tab do a short ride so it'll show up in the league rides for me to alter and approve and I'll be able to change it to 50.46.
Merry Christmas to you too Jim.

Hi Bill.

I've done a mile on the league run to record a time.

If you could do your stuff with it please? I may try best it in the New Year...

Cheers Bill

Jim

Winter Cup stage three complete if anyone wants a 31 minute ghost... it's quite a nice ride and will produce a very competitive stage for the big guns..

Ride well.
