Did anyone get the big bumps near the start. Felt like I was on my MTB in Dalby forest going over the bumps. I took some good jumps though, but had to look away from the telly. Made me feel 🤢.
@Brusgaard you really pushed me. I wasn't trying to stick on your wheel it's just that I was at my limit and couldn't stay ahead for long. Really enjoyed working with you though and saw you was only a handful of seconds behind when I crossed the line. Not sure what my HR was when I finished but I thought I was going to have to pick my heart of the floor after it popped out of my chest.

@keithaitch
dont you give up!
you hounded me like an injured fox
you disappeared before the hill in the middle and all i could see through my purple haze was 'gap' so i chased up the hill hard to get you before the descent but i could not see you
i resigned myself to pacing myself home at lless than 4 secs and relaxed on the descent
the haze cleared and i realised i was in front
so it was back to digging in and retaining a gap
well done!

Andy, we'll done. Thought I'd try to keep the gap short enough for the last climb but as I tried to reel you in my HR went to 180 so I eased off, didn't want to die and there will always be another opportunity to beat you!
If that tyre is slowing you down , it can't be by much (I hope!) so I'll get one ordered tomorrow. My ultra sport seemed to help but its hard to say. It felt faster but I was as far behind you front guys tonight as ever.

@keithaitch, what happened at the start?

Sorry about the start guys. I didn't realise that you actually have to start it even if you as starter have stopped pedalling, it used to just start automatically after the countdown. Live and learn. @AAAC 76C I didn't see you at all and yes the bumps were sick inducing, I switched to video and then back again and it had calmed down. @BILL S the tyre doesn't shed and I think it's good for a few free watts, I'm gonna put it up to 160 psi and see if it explodes! I'll go and update the team sheet just as soon as I'm out of my wet kit, @AndyMacca and I had a nice little drafting club run after the main event!
Think I just hit 182, maxxed out.
I didn't see you in the race though, it was a weird race though, it showed a phantom dot on the screen and someone almost drafting me up but the next person behind me on the ranking list was over a hundred metres. Will try and find a photo or two for Strava.
That start was well bumpy, think my rider was mining a tunnel under the asphalt then jumping into the air at other times.
My ranking table didn't show @AAAC 76C either, it was you then Mark and Brusgaard switching places constantly in 2nd/3rd. Weird one tonight.

Yes, I hope you enjoyed it. I soon remembered we are on the same team, so we might as well ride together and use the draft. The plan was to get us both to the bottom of the small climb with a sizeable gap to @BILL S and @AndyMacca, and then hope you would go fast up that and widen the gap to the finish line.
Yes, those bumps at the start were nasty.
I switched to video like @keithaitch, but that was a bit too cold to look at, so switched back to 3D again for better drafting.

Yes, what a shame we didn't really know where each other were. I now realise that you were the phantom black dot on the profile but you weren't appearing anywhere on the leader board. Oh well I might have to try to get the 5 seconds on Saturday but it will be after 110kms on the tandem so I don't think I'll be in any state to better tonight's performance. Chapeau. Here's to another great battle in next month's league.
