Team BKool CycleChat

[Whorty]

I was hoping to collect my Christmas present from Team Cyclechat yesterday but I was far too lazy to go and get it. Anyway, today was as good a time as any, so thanks AAAC. Most generous of you. A gentleman as ever, even in your absence

there are some crazy watt/kg numbers on that ride. A couple of 7.5 w/kg

Yeah! I picked all the quickest ghosts and the front runners soon disappeared. Outrageous power coming from them. Unfortunately some of them were our Nations Cup competitors.

What was that on?
WC4?

That was WC3. I knew I hadn't put enough effort into last weeks run so I did it properly tonight. I added loads of ghosts but yours was my preference to stick with.

I made the mistake of doing it early in the week and have since been thrashed by others.
Not to worry not such a bad thing in that it may make them all a little complacent leading up to the NC.

I am plummeting down the WC on account of not doing Stage 4 yet and I won't be home until Friday evening so I will try and do it then and the CG on Saturday.
WC4 is all climbing but quite short so I may (or may not) make some ground back on @JacobSkovsgaard .

For some unknown reason I climb bad these days. I guess you beat me by 5 minuts at WC4
WC is very competitive this year with most of the strong Danes participating
4 Danes in top10 WC1
6 Danes in top10 WC2
7 Danes in top10 WC3

This was my problem with first attempt at WC3 and will in future do the ride a week later when the quick ghosts are available. Thursday and Saturday are for the CG so only Tuesday is left for WC. Unfortunately I haven't so far had the time/inclination to get much stuck into LEJOG but not going to give up on it yet.

I was surprised that on one of the WC rides I was able to stay with you all the way up the hill and you only left me when things flattened out. I think bkool have made some adjustments. I'll be interested to see if I can stay with you up WC4.

No riding again for me today - took HID to cinema for birthday to watch Stars Wars instead (too cold to go bird watching in the end, although we did see the deer in the garden, plus ducks and moorhen ). Must find some time tomorrow Trousers are getting tight

Had a go at a few sessions today. LEJoG stg 10, CG 4 and a cool down descent on Alpe d'Huez.

Below are the distances recorded. Left is from a Speed sensor, Right is from the trainer. I'm fairly certain that both are wrong, but the Right is more wrong than the left.

Tell me the secret (BTW, I'm only interested in the secret if I'm allowed to continue eating chocolate and cakes!)

At Christmas time That is an effort worth at least 4 times up the Alpe d'Huez .
