We all doing the re-run tonight at 5? If you can add loads of ghosts @BILL S , see how long before I get dropped by you speedsters tonight

I hope to be. I sneaked in another go at stage 2 last night with Bill, AAAC, LBHIFI and Keith's ghosts and got to within a couple of of seconds this time. I drafted to the hill then pushed on and tried to stay away. That didn't work so I drafted again for a bit before going for a solo break with 6 miles left. I could only keep the gap to about 5-10 seconds but I stayed ahead anyway but Bill and Lars caught me with just a hundred or so metres to go. Was probably the wrong tactics to win the race but it was worth a try!

I hope there's a couple of people to do some drafting with later...

I wan't be there due to beer drinking...does that have a # in the excuse list?

It’s not an excuse Lars, it’s reason.

 

[AAAC 76C]

If you get drunk, fall over and hurt your knee? If so then yes

But if your proper drunk you won't know you've hurt your knee!

 

[AAAC 76C]

It’s not an excuse Lars, it’s reason.

I drink while I'm cycling so I don't agree.

Probably depends on how much you have all been drinking!

There’s more asthma inhalers being used in the pro peloton then there is in the after school chess clubs these days!

But I’m starting to think it’s whorty’s Gandalf style beard, where his secret powers lie!

The thing is an asthma inhaler will only help those with asthma. I bet a lot of people have it and don't even realize. Pro athletes have a lot more medical checks than most of us mere mortals!
It took me 37 years and a cold winter bike ride on Dartmoor hills with the wrong gears , a trip to A&E after not really breathing much for 12 hours post ride to be told I had a problem!

Cos you’re a machine

Thanks mate. Was a good sprint finish - I surprised myself by holding on to that power as long as I did!

 

[bridgy]

How did you get on @Whorty?

 

[AAAC 76C]

I know I don't have the peak power so I went for a long one but failed.

Did you attack us on that hill?
