@Brusgaard how many mins did you beat me by? I was really impressed with myself Thursday until you said you had already done a hard race

Hi Guys, from March I won't be riding the league anymore. Although the leagues are great, they are often very short, and I want to focus on distance, e.g. 40/50km on a thursday evening instead of 15. I might re-join at the end of the season again.

Only about 27 seconds. My main goal was to beat my Thursday time, which I did by about 3m55s. 🙂

Keith, can you find some 40km climbs for our good friend?

I suggest @shimceltic as the new team captain and @Randyberlin as the replacement rider.

Randy the downhill wildcard, I'll accept him no doubt

Not ready yet. The leg muscles are starting to come back but the nerves going to my core muscles haven't come back yet. The problems happened within two weeks from the onset so I hoped the recovery would be quick but they say 3 months for most recovery.

Well we could resurrect the Mountain Goat league and fill it with Mt Ventour type rides. Who wants the admins job?

I'd be up for the rides....
And you look like you've volunteered for admin

But if I were admin then I'd have to do the rides, and I'm not sure I could survive a 40km 10% uphill.

Saw the bots go past you like they were sprinting and you were doing 14mph on 7%

I am sure one of them was teasing me, slowing down letting me catch it and then powering away.
Barsteward I thought, I will teach you I thought, so I just let it cycle on its own the rest of the way !

Glad you enjoyed them. I did add those to spur you lightweights on. 😜

Fatty here at the back didn’t find much use in them. Benny Hills and Ada Smart both sprinted past me in the final km, and I would have had to push 500w+ to get on their wheel, which wasn’t possible at that point.

I was thinking on the same lines with one of the boys as it caught me then I caught it, was in front then it came back and slowly edged away. By then I was really fading so couldn't get back.

@Bored Man
I read somewhere the definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the accordion but doesn't.
On your impressive hike today on Strava it was just plain cruel to put that 10cc earworm into my head. It may have been appropriate but wrong.
Maybe as payback I could get @keithaitch post " bicycle built for two" on his 8000 foot 100 mile ride.
