Ok, so weeks one and two pretty much done by everybody , just @AAAC 76C and @Marco72 with both stages to do and @Breedon with the lovely (scenery wise anyway) stage 2 to do. In order to try to have complete results I think @Del C should be given the same time for the stages he can't due for health reasons as his nearest rival @Whorty rather than be penalised. We all know he would have done them if he could and better that he doesn't!
Shame that this week's stage doesn't have a video, the Arreige is a beautiful, off the beaten track, cycling heaven area in southwest France with tough climbs but so, so much quieter than the more famous ones which get clogged with traffic in the summer. If anybody is looking for a holiday destination I can fully recommend it. My cycling club is having our spring training camp their this year and I cant wait to get back. This week's stage is one of the lesser climbs but don't go at it too hard after gently climbing at about 2 % for about 12 kms the last 5.8 kms ramp up significantly to about 6/7% average. See you all on Thursday..

Gets free watts from the Atom ;)
6km at 6/7% ... that's about 35 mins of pain for me
The first 12km at 2% will, I guess, take about 30 mins too, so overall this ride will take me over the hour mark

Agree. At least as above, or the slowest time of the team.Spookily I was thinking the same the other day ... but if others agree, I'd be happier if @Del C got maybe 97.5% / 95% of my time as he always beats me so I'm more than happy to take thatI'll go with the flow, but I think that would be fairer for Del's team.

That’s no fair.. I work very hard to obtain those times.. can’t give no shows same time as me.

And here I thought I wouldn’t be missed. Without me where is the powerful incentive to at least put in a time? I’m thinking that even the threat of a heart attack wouldn't be enough to avoid the dreaded Berlin time,

The Pro was a no show unless I got my timings wrong. Another thought few climbs with ups and downs. It would be a good route @keithaitch
