Yes, and the best way to have ride count is to show up for the live ride(s). The more riders the merrier!

Well, I did, last thursday, but I wasn't recovered from my intensive wednesday ride. I won't ride tomorrow, so I can join you guys thursday.

You afraid of being last otherwise?

I know. Your time today indicates you are fit for fight.

 

[shimceltic]

Good time otherwise with nobody to push you

@Goldwolfie has me beat by 12 minutes on the first stage. I am getting on the internet to look for EPO.
Edit: Not Shimceltics coffee EPO. I already have caffeine jelly beans. Not helping.

Maybe you should just change the bike. Didn’t go well for Higuita though…

I better not or Orbea may drop my sponsorship. Seriously I love my bike but once I start looking I get bike envy.

Well, I chose shimceltic as the one to beat. I was able to follow him on a steady <400 meters. In the last 5km I closed to approx 150mtr, but then he got away to approx 180mtr... Good enough for me.

By the way: it was mentioned that you don't have to stop pedalling at the start. So I kept on pedalling during the last 10 seconds of the countdown. However, my avatar started very slowly, while others sprinted away. What did I do wrong?

Nothing, that's just the way it is... See my videos, and you'll see the same...

Always good to challenge the champ 😂...
I had the same issue starting, not flying out of the blocks but at least it doesn't stop you moving for 30s... See you Thursday on a hill stage I think.
Also the ghosts are unreliable so not sure how far infront or behind you finished in total.

I'm sure you will pull that back on this weeks stage, as see them hills looming - mind I have lost 20lbs in weight over the summer.

Also changed turbo, as one of my sons upgraded his Tacx Flux, so I took his old one off his hands - at better than mates rates of course. 🤗 💪👍

BTW: still don't know how to change my profile to mention the "Chaingang CycleChat" group....

You can't. The group name seems sort of random, and changes regularly...
