You talked me into a new bike for today! Look out all you slowpokes.
Spent my 35,000. Now I’m broke again

So it means that I can't catch on a handicap race, unless if I don't have drops enough to have S-Works SL8 before that. Need to have 23,714 drops to get that, not gonna happen.

go to route analyser website , choose all bikes , put in all your own details and it will work out your best set up for whatever route you want - in the top end its only a few seconds difference but its a proper leap from basic set up to a good frame and wheels

oh and good luck tonight , luck is giving me a bit of a bum deal at moment but cant last forever

 

[Barbes66]

Out tonight. Aiming to catch up on Saturday.

I should have looked at tonight's profile before signing up.

This was the first time I’ve had a problem with Rouvy. The whole app just closed and I was looking at the desktop. I had to start the app again then ho back to events and it put me right back where I got kicked out.
And I agree with @Goldwolfie I hate whoever suggested this route. That climb in the middle was killer.

Edit: the new bike sucked. Not very fast

That was tough - at least I won't have to suffer the rerun on Saturday - mind watching Wolves getting a mauling away at Arsenal won't be much better.

Guilty as charge, it was me who suggested that. My plan is ride that on a Saturday, tomorrow I need a rest. It was last year February when I ride that route, it take about 56min. I assume it takes longer next time.

Good luck. I was way slower than an hour. I didn't get up the hill very well. They say the best thing is to spin at a higher cadence but I have always been grind it out and pay the price.

Thanks Randy. My prediction is 70min when I do my ride, I might surprised myself if I go any faster. I try to take easier but like you said climb on a middle is tough.

@Goldwolfie
I saw this. You have a chance.
