Shame you had to bail ..... that could have been a good race between us had you not had the mechanicalWell done all that raced tonight! I have been looking forward to if for days, but a minor mechanical stopped me.

I'll still be out of town on Saturday but it sounds like a good one to miss.Yes it was great fun. So much so that I can't wait for the Saturday re-run.
Oh hang on! I've just realised that I'm otherwise occupied so wont be able to do the re-run.
I've got something called Le Jog which I have to do instead.
I thought that was a pizza! I grabbed a slice to hold off the hunger pangsThose little undulations at around 5K to go were right b'stards!
Sorry for the pool of vomit at the top of the last climb
Anyone spot a pair of lungs on that first descent? Baggsy thy're mine!

Please Don'tStrong ride there
we may have to unleash something called "AAAC" upon you.
I must admit to being pretty surprised myself. Initially I thought I was being flattered by the Pro acting up, inspite of me restarting it during the warm up. I guess HR doesn't lie and I was borderline red zone all the way through the ride. I did think that your group would catch me after the big climb when I only had a minute on you.

I wondered what happened to you. You was gradually reeling me back in so I gave it my all on the flat/descent into the last hill, hoping I could get some time on you before you flew past me on the climb. Was surprised when you started to drop back .... stitch is a killer so makes sense now. I was in some discomfort so your stitch saved me

To be honest i was hoping you would pop, i was noticing you was having power bursts to keep out of my sight, my plan was to power into the last climb and make a run for the line or a least a sprint finish.I wondered what happened to you.

Didn't think I got much more than 188, but having checked Strava you're right, If anyone had come up to me I didn't have anything left to fight them.

Great ride, sorry I couldn't push you all the way, I left myself too much to do on the last little climb. You were so much faster than me on the downhill bits.
Had you caught and passed me I may well have gone. Keeping you behind me kept my last match burning. You dropping back seemed to keep my legs turning! I thought you might have been leaving just out there dangling, ready to jump me on that last climb. I was confused and not sure what to do!To be honest i was hoping you would pop, i was noticing you was having power bursts to keep out of my sight, my plan was to power into the last climb and make a run for the line or a least a sprint finish.

Guys,
Now I've done three of this month's sessions and might do the first two over the weekend if I decide I'm too much of a wus to brave the cold and wind here I am trying to understand the overall league classification.....and can't ! have no idea how it calculates your position, what the criteria are or how it calculates the time, the difference, kms and stages completed I understand but also don't know what the division relates to. I have noticed commemets that bkool need to sort out the leagues, is this one of the problems they need to fix?
On a general note I want to thank you all for being so friendly and accepting and I look forward to following in your slipstreams for many rides to come!

Hi Keith
My advice when it comes to finding live races is to come on here first. Find out who is hosting or going the ride (preferably hosting). Then search for their BKOOL name in the simulater. That always works best for me.
As a side note a few of us are off to the Pyrenees next summer. So it would be great if you could do a little trip report to get our mouths watering more than they already are!
Hope you have a great adventure!

Mouth watered?
