I had a quick look tonight for the featured ride, but didn't see any that said Featured so did the Mudock and Crow . Loads of people on there tonight. I was quite a tough one with 2 steady climbs with some steep ramps. Scenery was nice somewhere in Scotland.

Yes i was, spinning out a lot and had microkid chasing me down
Well done Dean. I'm guessing you was working hard on that descent? I found the 'up' less stressful than the 'down'

He'll make us all do it.

I think we should all do it again, together and drafting all the way. Let's wait for the drafting update to be released before doing it - for maximum speed.
A couple of week ago when I was suffering Bubonic Pneumonia, he messaged me asking if I would like life support switching off so he could sub me!

Oh no - what no downhill - it's going to be a long night.6km at 6/7% ... that's about 35 mins of pain for me
so returning to the chat, because after my last post saying about getting over being sick turned out to be speaking too soon and ended up sick for another week, but have returned to health now.
which leads me to a question, who the hell is the bright spark thought that Stage 3 was a good idea! cos ill be blunt in that ill probably give it a shot, but im not sure if my body is ready or able to drag itself over those 2 climbs, ill try it, but dunno if my big back side will be able to handle those ones. the others will be fine (even if im not the biggest fan of stage 1b's finish lol) but that stage 3 scares me at this point LOL

Having just done stage 3 in the December Dash I have no qualms in shopping @Bored Man as the guilty party. It was very tough. You.know the climb is bad when the next section is 25.3% and it's going to provide you with a bit of relief. Both climbs are tough. The first has about 2 kms at over 20%, hitting 30% at the worst and the second one also has long double digit sections with the last km at about 20%. I notice I'm the only one stupid enough to have done it so far!
On another point any chance of you doing the chaingang league rides ? Your team needs you! There's only you and @AAAC 76C who haven't done the rides. Team rankings are in the google sheet, december tab, referenced in my signature here.
Glad your feeling better, you won't be if you do stage 3!

Oh, a little, very little panic before tomorrow night would not go amiss especially if you've still only got your big ring !Was having a panic then as I thought you were talking the Chain Gang league
Prior to riding I can manually force the ring across to the small ring, but then I have to stay in that the whole time (or get off the bike and manually force it back). So if you chose the Alpe etc, I'd be OK, it's the 'flat' into a climb, or a flat after a long steep climb that would bugger me up.
Looked at the terain for the next league ride and there is a max of 13% and an average of something like 6% if memory serves me well, so should hopefully be able to struggle over it in the big ring. Maybe
