Happy I didn’t have time to scout that one. Had I known about that climb I would have taken it a bit easier at the bottom of the climb. Managed not to loose to much time uphill (100meters more of that and I would have stopped dead) and i could cruise and recouperate downhill to save some for the last kms. Didn’t expect to be able to catch @AAAC 76C and I think I got a bit lucky with small downhill sections just as he almost caught me.
Well done everyone!
Almost missed that start, just joined and managed to slow to a halt at zero. Close call...

Well that was definetely a game of 2 halves.

I'd have been quite happy sat on the bench for the first half, and brought on for a second half substitute.

Well done everyone, I gave you all the thumbs up as you all shot passed me on the way back, as I was still struggling to get to the top

You can check it out on the start line or if you cycle at 50% you can see the back view

Oh I meant to say I liked your new jersey

 

[shimceltic]

5pm UK for the amstel stage live with 5 pros, see you on the start

 

[shimceltic]

Actually don't think I'll bother. Done that stage twice already and the sun and beer is Calling

 

[Mark68]

Going to have a quick go, but may have to bail out. Been on a lovely real world ride today

Oh

Yes I have just had a look. Eeeek and it's 25km.

 

[shimceltic]

I think it took me around an hour nor so last time. So after a shower etc the sun would have gone... Anyway I've just persuaded myself not to ride and have had a pork pie with mustard as a starter before the beer and bbq.

 

[Mark68]

I'm just going to see how o feel. Wish we had stuff for a bbq. I may make pizza if I don't make the full ride

I wasn't there for amstel gold tonight because I was elsewhere! Specifically, and I know it's the enemy but the video quality and screen experience of bvr is light years ahead of bkool and I think as close to reality as you'll get without vr. Of anybody wants to take advantage of their 14 day free trial and join me for a social ride to bastonne and then back to liege tomorrow and Sunday, about 60kms each time then that would be great. I was going to do the Bkool amstel gold tomorrow morning but after yet another chain mechanical, I'm doing what doctors advice and listening to my body, in this case bike, and taking it relatively easy for a couple of days.Ihave rather abused her these last 47 days without rest.
