Actually I totally disagree but hope this is taken in the spirit in which it is intended. This group as
@Mark68 pointed out is a very friendly one which is one of its strengths but that doesn't mean we can't express different opinions whilst still having the greatest of admiration for each other. The bkool league structure allows for multiple attempts at a league stage and whilst the UPS of this group is our group rides there is no reason why anybody should be limited to one attempt. Anybody can do any stage as many times as they like. Personally I find it perhaps the hardest thing to do, very much like trying to better a strave pb. Having given your all in a group ride to riding again, against your own ghost, knowing that you are not stronger than you, and that if you relent you will be caught by yourself. I think anybody who does this and betters their time deserves the reward of having their time count. Now, I don't want you and I to fall out over this. This group which is getting back on it's feet. though not yet fit enough to attempt Alpe D'huez on a fixie, needs people like you
@microkid, you are a perfect example of why this group is so good. I think I should stop drinking now in case I write somehting wya too soppy to my kids!
