btw @Randyberlin how's the health and are you going to be darkening our doors (from a distance, litterally and figuratively, next month....your team misses you!

Flying to Seattle today. Surgery on Tuesday and fly home Wednesday. I don't think I'll be allowed on the bike until the end of the month.
How long are you without your stoker? I am always jealous of your rides but for some reason the Christmas sweater photo made me want to Rob a bank and move to sunny Spain and copy your lifestyle.

Just to remind those who said they could make it, and anybody else who would like to join that tomorrow at 18:00 CET, 17:00uk time will be pratting about in the velodrome trying to work out how the sprint game works. They more the merrier!

I'm working in Hull and doubt I'll make it home in time

May try and have a go although I am possibly cycling to work and back so could be a touch tired. Setting off at 5.50 am 😩

Hope it goes well and can't wait for you to be back, December wasn't the same without your comments and participation. My wife is in Texas for a week so I'm trying to get in some kms to hopefully hit 20,000 kms in 2019, 220 to go, two days left. We've been really lucky this Christmas with the weather, only one days rain and this week it's sunny and warm in the sun and the scenery, as ever is stunning it would be a sin not to go out. I cannot recommend this area too highly for anybody planning a cycling trip it has everything, except cars! 2021?

I'm going to do Stage 4 of the winter cup, which hopefully will take about 30 minutes and I'll then be in the velodrome as close to 18:00 /,17:00 UK as possible if anybody can join me for the two lap sprint thingie!

I did a real-life ride today, 3-6 degrees C. Seems the cold took all my energy, I'm knackered. Don't count on me for the next days...

 

[Mark68]

Just got back from work a bit ago. Cycled in and back so a bit weary. And when I got back had to try and de snail my aquarium. Bloody things.
I'll give it a go though but can't promise I'll be much use.
I guess I look for Keith.
Which velodrome is it by theway.?

20000 km in a year. Wow that is impressive I guess your job is cycle courier 🤯 or retired. I'll be lucky if I've done 5000km.
Bet you're up there with the Strava distance

 

[keithaitch]

I'm in

 

[Rod McG]

im not finding any sessions with keith. Ill give it a few more mins.

 

[Mark68]

I think I've found you.

 

[Rod McG]

ok! found it

 

[keithaitch]

Let's play for 20minutes or so

 

[keithaitch]

Well that was fun until I lost connection and then couldn't get back in and after 5 attempts the lure of the cold beer foregone after today's ride in the real world was too strong!

 

[Mark68]

Don't quite understand how it works. Are you supposed to just keep riding and try to not let anyone pass and when sprint pops up try not to be at the back.
I just went for it but at some point I was at the start not able to go anywhere. Also I saw myself on the trainer so I guess I was eliminated at some point.
I guess it could be fun especially if there was loads of people playing
