Not sure why everyone could start the session before me, then we got swamped with everyone else. Well done Andy, must be at 300w by now!

Thanks Shim I got lucky with you guys being tired and lots of tech issues across the team, not quite 300 but it did push it up to 273 now, that's 3 handicap rides in a row it's gone up! I had 2 days of z2 rides in the build up to this which helped too. I'm guessing it's the relative flatness of the terrain (after those 18% monsters we've been doing) making it a good FTP hunting ground, that and being chased by you lot.

i think we should password the ride
whoever starts if you pedal in the warmup do not stop until 30 secs to go
stopping pedaling should not trigger the start anymore
baldo did you start the session?
Is your Sim up to date?

Very frustrating for me. Didn't feel like it, then got in to it and was about to make the effort to stay with @AAAC 76C when he disappeared. Then lost connection so everybody but @shimceltic disappeared then everybody reappeared then went again. Haven't even looked at my time. Could we update the team sheet with times and positions if anybody knows them so Sergi can make a cslculations for next week and the start of May's handicap league.

[keithaitch]

Agree with the password protection. Password will always be Sergi, note the spelling no matter who starts it.

Sim up to date but my trainer lost connection and I panicked, had to restart computer and connect the trainer and then when I searched the session and joined it it was a mess, my avatar was already started buy I was not the first... so I just continued.

I started it and my countdown was fine

Others joined before baldo and set off while my timer was counting down. Anyway end of this trial month and it was almost flawless.

I thought that wss the case.
I came in and I was sure you were already rolling then I realised there was a you that was not moving.
So I went out and tried again and Bill set of or something so then I went a few minutes later an we both realised it had not started.
In the end I did not have a clue when the start was so I let @keithaitch go and left 30 seconds or so after him.
That aside with all those interlopers it was hard to see the hares.

I've made a bird table with some bits of wood I had laying around

Our cats would love that!

I think it's been run really well for something that started out as a bit of fun, now that we have a starting protocol, sitting on the line and staggering the starts it's good, I think the password protection will make it rock solid. Thanks guys!

 

[keithaitch]

Team sheet has been updated and @AndyMacca just shades it from @shimceltic with therest nowhere!

I'll do some psuedo scientific but totrally inaccuarte calculations and post best guess handicaps for the first go at May's league probably tomorrow.
