Any thoughts about the February Chaingang league? Ride types? Flat, Hilly, Long, Short, Mixed?

Mixed, men an women please Bill
Where are all the women, have we frightened them away with out masculine prowess, debonair behavior and light hearted wit.

 

[AAAC 76C]

Flat and fast

If its mixed I would prefer curvey and medium tempo and I would probably start steadily them come from behind at the end.

Afraid I've got no power or lights ............. and I was running my Internet connection over Powerline with built-in wifi.

My house wifi may just about keep the connection up in the garage.

I could certainly get an extension cable out there, but I'd need to sort out lighting as well. Maybe a character lampshade would set the right mood lighting for a handicap race?

Bike lights?

anybody else having problems scheduling sessions, whenever i press details, to set the date, it just exits and says I've created a session that appears nowhere!

Anyone got a recommendation for a ladies saddle. Leisure more than sporty I think. Or maybe somewhere in between...

I know I could just google it but I’d rather get a recommendation. Also I know it’s a different strokes for different folks kind of thing. But I got to start somewhere!

You sure it's not for your rather ladylike bottom?

That comment might of been better coming from someone NOT riding around on one of my old saddles Adam!

Who's up for a Handicap Chase tomorrow (Tuesday) evening then?

Individual or Team (if we can get confirms from 15 or more people)?

Your saddle should suit her fine based on that definition.

As I have pointed out before women have an odd way about testing saddles, just can't understand it myself:

First thing is to get her to a local bike shop to measure her sit bones (sit on a pressure sensitive pad which allows the distance between the sit bones to be measured)!

Women generally have wider sit bones than men, so it is most likely she will need a wider saddle than you, and they also benefit from a different shape as they have, er, different under carriage!

My wife and daughter both ended up using Bontrager Affinity WSD saddles (Women Specific Design) in a Women's medium, and get on well with them, much preferring them to the men's saddles they inherited initially.

I use a Men's Affinity (carbon) medium, which is narrower and has almost no padding, but which I have found comfortable enough.

My wife had had of these for years on both her solo and the tandem and her friend bought one after trying hers and loves it too. https://www.selleitalia.com/en/saddles/lady-gel-flow/

Well done on your time for stage 4 @JJRobinson - 4th best for the stage but not quite enough to overhaul peterob on overall time or placings.

Looking at the spreadsheet, does anyone have any objection to a team of myself, @AAAC 76C , @CXRAndy , @TurboTommy and @peterob who look to be both the fastest 5 riders, and the 5 with the best placings over the 4 stages (and this applies to TT even if we give him the same time as Bill on stage 4 when Bsim crashed on him at the top of the hill when he was right with Bill's ghost).

If there are no objections/appeals, and if all of you guys above are definitely up for it, I think we may have a team........

Still v v spendy but Halfords have NEO’s for £935 and some BC members have been lucky and got 10% off too.

I'm hoping to be at the handicap tonight but on the Pro (don't ask!) so will join the same time as @Aleman.
