Cheers DP, I guess sometimes it takes a near death experience to find out who ya true pals are! ^_^
Although to be fair I think I said a few months ago death should only be classed as a 8/10 excuse so...

And speaking of death, some complete traitor at my better halves work has splilled the beans on Rapha's pricing policy. So my own demise Could be at any moment. Excuse me while I go hide the knives! :ohmy:

Have you explained the benefits, free crash repairs and a 50% discount when you've lost weight and have to buy a smaller item..... Ok not much help.....

Apologies but I can't make it tonight either. My limbs are still intact but they're going to be stuck at a desk sorting paperwork out unfortunately.

Look forward to hearing about your stage 2 attempt AAAC. Great time!

@srs52 I still get nervous after a year or more of racing with cycle chat. It all disappears once the pedals start turning

Well that was interesting, thanks for the relatively 'downhill' introduction to the Chaingang Group :smile: , for some reason i was as nervous as a kitten and just went for it, ended up chasing Rod who seemed to disappear about 4k from home, great fun!
Yes, good fun. I've done this route 3 times recently and this was my best time. My internet connection broke towards the end but it came back. I expected to have the fast guys rocketing past at any point but they must have been doing something else!

Not a huge lot to say, its just a pain typing on my mini key board on my bike whilst warming down.
I planned the session by challenging Jacob.
Went to add a couple of bots and there were a few Pep T's in there 3 of which had faster times than the one showing in the league results.
There were quite a few Elite in there so I added them all (and now they all have e-mails)
Anyway my aim was to best Jacob as I see him as the man to beat other than our own DP of course.
The gun fired and we were off, I dead stopped and quite a few folk shot by but I kept calm and slowly pulled them all back bar a Pep and AN other.
Had another dead stop and a couple of guys went past.
By the top of the first climb I only had on the fastest Pep and Mik Mak in front of me.
I didn't work too hard on the descent and they both pulled away a touch but I caught Mik Mak and Pep on the second climb or I may have caught Pep later thinking about it.
From there on in it was literally plain sailing.
I was careful not to push too hard into any transitions and was paid back by far too easy climbs over lumps and it just went on like that.
I was worried Pep's ghost would come back on the final climb but that was no to be so and the rest is History.
Another podium for Team Cyclechat !

On Thursday I'd love to have a go at pulling a group of Team Members to a good time and bail out 500m from the end and go back later on the week and post my own time.
So come on down on Thursday to get as many Team Members on page 1 as possible.

Well done to Rod, who was the only one to improve (and therefore earn a Handicap cut)
Well done also to Stephen and Martyn, for holding off the big guns to the end!

@Marino.g your recorded moving time of 42:28 doesn't make any sense to me, as it would have meant you finishing in joint second place, so bkool must have messed it up in some way!

Corrected times (Moving Time + Start Time)
