Thanks for the road paint! It helps.

@Brusgaard and @BILL S ,

You two were very close which phrase should I memorize?

Either are fine to me - I've watched all Outlander seasons, so I'm fluid in Scottish Gaelic… Sort of...:smile:

Where did you go? I expected to be caught by you on that first downhill section, instead of your fellow American "mkassow".

Bill and I were never closer than about 15 seconds, and I thought it would be impossible to catch Keith even as a duo, as he had gained too much time on those steeper sections. :sad:
So I just rode on and tried to keep @BILL S "enough" behind me, hoping he would not catch me on that last uphill section. Lucky for me, 3.3% was the steepest, which is manageable at my weight. :smile:

The new Sim no longer gives me the magic blue numbers and downhill in 53-11@ 73rpm only putting out 85 watts. I guess as there is no longer any advantage to the extra weight I better think about losing 25 pounds.

There is always an advantage with weight for downhills. I literally freewheel passed lightweights pedalling like mad for those rare real world rides. Within Zwift I can pull back a 20 sec lead with 1W/Kg less effort over lighter riders.

Unfortunately it all reverses going up hill and then some

You always just stayed out of reach for me, and no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't latch onto you. I thought I got to within about 10s at one point but the effort I put in to do that only worked against me in the end. I though I might have a chance on that last hill but I was almost on empty by then so no chance. Your strategy of pulling away at the start using the downhill worked perfectly. Looking forward to getting revenge on Thursday hopefully.
