Yes that was a tough stage. I was battling with my gears shifting when they weren't supposed to or not shiftiNg. Must remember to adjust the cable.First I thought this was going to be a weak effort, but then i felt pretty good after a few kms. Ended up with my strongest post upgrade effort. Perhaps I should have gone a little bit harder....anyway ...Kudos to me!
Great battle up in the front! @Mark68 you held on almost all the way! I struggled to not loose more than a minute.
@AAAC 76Cs it seems yourChristmas redecoration kept you in shape after all!
I did have to dig deep as I thought Per you would start catching me in the last km like you did a bit ago.
Good ride from Ian, Keith and AAA c. You all smashed it.
Good stage though as there weren't any really nasty 16% or more bits. Although I couldn't believe how long the last km took and then after 7% it went steeper. I do remember saying out loud "your joking" when I saw the grade increase again.
Don't think I'll be able to ride Saturday evening this week.
Happy riding everyone 😀

Stage 2 done and dusted - thanks for the road paint encouragement, it certainly helps when you are out there on your own.
Being a tight pensioner I like to get my monies worth, so why shoot up these little climbs in 30 minutes, when you can get 60 minutes of 'enjoyment' for the same money.

Knowing I've beat a pensioner takes gloss off my ride. Never mind the pensioners that have beat me as I pretend they aren't real

Don't worry about me then, as I'll probably be 69 before I reach retirement.
Is it correct, you are sub 40 (Bkool Male Senior = 30-39 year)?

I thought you already retired the amount of cycling you do on strava, unless your work place is a 100km round trip around Spain and france

I had a day on the beer planned tomorrow, saving me from the Saturday repeat. That now seems to be not happening and I may have to struggle up that hill again. Not happy😕
