Cue the montage of me punching a hanging side of beef, running up the steps and doing sit ups with a poster of the Danes and Spaniard s on the ceiling then punching the air as I make up the 2 hours on stage 2 needed to make the team.
Oh nevermind, I am ineligible. Cue the montage of me stopping on my way to work this morning buying doughnuts.

mmmmmmmm, doughnuts

Great, I don't catch @Brusgaard by 1 second this morning and now some sod has taken a KOM, I'm off for a beer and a lie down.

The NCQ league has gone.

The league has gone, but the spreadsheet lives on!

Thanks for the support Tommy. I think it's pretty clear that there is a bit of an 'A team' and a 'B team' at the top of the league, with the likes of myself, Bill, Keith, JJ etc decidedly in the B team! - able to beat each other on any given day but not (yet!) at the level of those in front. But I'm sure whoever makes it into the NC team will fight for each and every point that they can get.

I feel I am slowly getting stronger. I've just tried NCQ1 again despite feeling tired after doing NCQ4 and was able to better my previous time. It's not quite 3 races in 3 hours which will be required for the NC though!

Yeah I think I’m in that bracket too probably. Better some days than others .

I think you might be surprised in the nation cup bud. It looks a bit daunting on paper but if you add up the total mileage it’s just about bearable! The little breaks help as long as you don’t seize up. Maybe we were ‘lucky’ last year doing the velodrome last being as it’s flat. The team time trial will be a different challenge for sure.

all part of my master plan to control the destiny of seat 5 by cunning spreadsheet manipulation and who is prepared to pay most not to sit in it....offers @BILL S @peterob @JJRobinson

I'm not sure at the moment.

I've just had a catastrophic electricity failure in my garage/bike cave and nothing is working out there.

Started when I had just begun WC stage 7. Must have been the incredible fairy dust enhanced power I was putting out!

Electrician is coming round at 8:00 tomorrow, so I'll know then if I'm going to be back up and running, or whether I can negotiate with HID a temporary transfer of the turbo to the kitchen/dining room!

When it comes to the above mentioned & Turbo Tommy, I say we give them the same points as the winner for any stages they haven't completed. Of course that doesn't effect myself and peterob as we've done all stages.

A decent extension cable should get you up and running if that's easier than moving the turbo into the kitchen.

Two and a half weeks?!?!?! Wow, that is so close now. Glad I didn't make the team, knowing that time is so short I'd be well poo'ing my pants But I'm sure those who made the team are taking it all in their stride

 

[BILL S]

Well done @peterob for your time of 1.10.06 for NCQ stage 4.......over to @JJRobinson for stage 4, and anyone else who wants to re-do a stage to try and improve their time/position overall (stage 2 maybe @BILL S ?!) before we finalise the 5 man team......

I know my time for stage 2 is very slow but I was doing my best. That's the stage I came last in the NC and it's obvious to me that that hill has got it in for me, so I'll not be doing it again. Got more fun things to do, like the handicap race, and cheering on our brave 5 later next month
