i luved it all jim lad
i hope bill is ok
i think he tried to let us go a couple of times but we kept going back to get him
my initial lead out for his sprint was a bit too strong but then he blasted by me and bridgy on the line to take yellow and green
there were no polka-dot points today and i dont think he will get the white jersey

It looked like one of those @BILL S special stages... the ones that set off the lactic detonators in my knees..

Maybe my mate @Whorty will be on hand to help on Saturday? :hugs:

Not quite as bad as the desert one last month, but that did hurt. 30 minutes or so in and I was shot :sweat::B). I kept pace with one of the ghosts early on and then just lost the tow and then bang, a world of hurt for me. I avg 224w for the first 30 minutes and then fell away to about 215 I think.

Anyway tooooo hot for me at the moment :headshake:

I'll set a ghost for you to chase Sunday :okay: Given the power and ride you did today, my ghost could be in a bit of trouble :cry:

8 miles is one thing, 20 miles is quite another my friend... plus I need to recover - my thighs are singing away.. I'm working sat n sun, which may determine which world I ride in..

You are welcome @Jim Brown you worked really hard for that. A few times I started to pull away but as soon as you got back on you powered it :okay: Absolutely cracking time .... just wish I'd noticed the time and I'd have finished with you, but hey ho, my fault for not concentrating :biggrin:

U oh.. Bkool updated but doesn't like my ride... :thumbsdown:

Welcome back @Goldwolfie :cheers:
Cheers TB

I was going to say it's good to be back, but that would telling porkies, as that really hurt tonight.

It's the hardest ride I've done for quite a few months for one reason or another.

Like yourself I felt ok got the first half of the ride, then I struggled - power down and heart rate up and I was struggling to make it.

Alot seems to have happened since I was last competing in the CG and quite a few members of the old autobus have progressed and left us behind somewhat - there's no stopping Worty, Jim, Rob and Marino now a days.

My ride hasn't made it on either. Seems if you improve your time then they have to approve it rather than it be auto-approved. Seems a bit overkill. Hopefully they'll update later and you take your rightful place in 16th (i think ?)

Well look at that he table is showing @bridgy as first, must have started a nano second later than @BILL S.

And look at the average Watts @AAAC and @bridgy at 360 watts and @BILL S nice and snug at 320.
Poor old Steve 3 minutes behind at 375 watts.
Safety in numbers!
