You Scots are fast!

You Scots are fast!

I await the post-race report from Craig!

It was going well until about 9 minutes when I crashed out. Similar to Randy I had to re-boot then re-start the race which teleported me back to where I was but minus Rod's wheel. I then burned a whole bunch of matches trying to catch the 3 at the back. I managed to get 2 but had little left by the end. I could see Rod was battling it out with the guy who was 50m or so ahead when I crashed out. I liked the course though - lots of lumps, downhills and then a decent middle section climb. Something for everyone - good choice @JuhaL I also drove part of the route last summer IRL - so a good distraction from this weekend's weather.

That's the 3rd crash I've suffered with the Rouvy / Win11 combo. I can't recall ever having that with Bkool / MacOS in 6 or 7 years. Or RGT or IndieVelo/TPV for that matter. The finger of blame is pointing at Win11.

You were going well, though! I was trying as hard as I could, I caught the guy in front, then he dropped me. You were catching up fast!

Can we just add the 2 times and subtract a time for the reboot

 

[Randyberlin]

I’m on IOS 12.7.6. Rouvy up until now has been rock solid. I’m thinking like you it’s the computer because the app didn’t stop for Rod and my music stream didn’t drop, do not WiFi either. And the whole app just disappeared. Nothing else on the desktop closed.
I’ll see if it happens again. We are having a cold snap with snow so I need to go down to the dock to shovel the boat off. That’s my excuse for not doing the rerun.

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

Graphics wise I’m sure it’s a compromise but reliability wise it’s not let me down yet.

The total for the month and you’re right there. You’ve made good times across all 4 stages while @shimceltic was racing pogacar on what looked like mostly flat rides in real life.

Edit. I see where the discrepancy is. Your fast time I entered for Lago Di Garda is for a shortened ride. But I’ll leave it because it will spur the other fast guys to greater effort.

Have to say, I enjoyed that last hilly one. Didn’t think I would, but I seem to be approaching fit enough to cope with a slope now. Brought back memories of the old Mountain Goat League. When’s the handicap on?

Must try a ride working with GoldWolfie. We might be able to squeeze a bit out of our times mate? I’m only ahead of you because I I’ll kill myself trying to stay on the leaders wheels as long as I can.

Right now it’s set for Boxing Day.
I just now rode this and at the last mile you came out of nowhere to pip me at the finish.

@Goldwolfie I saw you held your own against Arsenal. 2-1. The article I read said something about an own goal. I’m not sure what that meant but they implied without it it would have been a draw.

I appeared out of nowhere?
What route are we using for the handicap? And do we needs to race it first?

We are doing Yellowstone. You have a time of 42 minutes. If you’re thinking about reriding it to get a slower time that’s not going to work. 42 minutes is your minimum. You can reride and get a faster time if you want.
In rides where other friends have ridden at they end they pop up with a ghost called best me and the KOM ghost.
You must have done a quick finish. You could probably have heard me cussing you out all the way in Wales. If not here’s a recap…
Damn you *^<#% Adski!!

@Randyberlin - An own goal in football (soccer) happens when a player accidentally puts the ball into their own team's net, resulting in a goal for the opposition, and we did that twice last night.

Only my team can 'score' 3 goals in a game and still lose 2-1.

That's 16 games we've played this season and have lost 14 and drawn 2. I've been watching them for 65 years and this is worst season to date. Roll on next Saturday for our next effort.
