Thanks. I did actually do it last night and quite enjoyed it and was already to have another go ,but my legs were a little tired after work as well so decided against it. I would like another go to see if I can better my result.

You only have until Thursday to do it , so hurry up!

EDIT: You already did it I see. A bit slow ain’t it?

I see you have already done it. You're ahead of me on the ranking sheet. No surprise there though

Yes, by a whopping 19 seconds.

Did mine this morning. Dug deep to get one of us on the first page when they update the results, which seems to be taking a while.

Well done 👍. Don't think I will get chance to try and improve. I'll have to be content with where I am.

So, I hope you are all gearing up for Thursday for stage 5 which I suspect will be at least 35 minutes long so plenty of opportunity to make up lots of time! and that everybody makes a big effort to be there, there are some fascinating battles to be enacted.
At the top just 4 secs separates me form @AAAC 76C . I have a tactic but I know it won't work.
@BILL S and @Brusgaard are just 50 seconds apart and only 15 seconds between @AndyMacca and @shimceltic . Only a couple of minutes at the back for who gets dumped into the broom wagon @Bored Man can you hold of the @Goldwolfie charge?
I kind of wish I could just watch and enjoy the fun instead of partaking and enduring the pain.
See you all Thursday.

btw next month's league has been published. Another mixture of down, rolling, flat and up (which after the Portillon, the Peyresourde and the Aubisque could only really be the big one. I know you'll hate it but secretly love it!

Not sure I'll make it on Thursday, but it should be a good race. I will try to fit in the stage, and stage 1 before the end of the month, but skiing may interfere. If the stage ends on the 2nd, can I do it on the 2nd?

we are doing it from the easier!!!! side, and from more than half way up. In reality its a 35km 1677m climb from Argeles, which should be on everybody's bucket list.

I never understand the dates! February's league and all the stages are due to finish on 3/3 so hopefully you have up to and including next Tuesday to do any stages you are missing.

@shimceltic .
I saw on your 3rd Bkool ride today you went inland. Because I've been in that area once I can give you some advice about riding out of Scarborough. Sort of England from within by someone who has been there. There was a really cool viaduct just North on the coast and an off road trail with great views.

Seriously you are in a great area for cycling.

Edit: I know it was a virtual ride, but still damn good advice .

I was working in Halifax yesterday and that place is just massive hills everywhere.

I’m originally from Keighley and spent a lot of time cycling around those hills. A claim to fame is making it up the Shibden Wall. Without stopping - I was young and reckless in those days 😎
