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.

@Add - I think I'd be holding you back too much, especially on the hills. At my age I have to keep my eye on the old heart rate, and I've been right on the limit on all the Rouvy events so far.
Perhaps it could benefit us on a flat/downhill course.

Yeah I was thinking that tbf. I’d say you have the edge on me on the flat, but I was definitely pulling away on the hills. I think if it’s a flat one, I’ll not bolt off with the whippets and see if we can work wellu together. Makes for a more enjoyable experience in my opinion if you can work with someone rather than just hang onto their coat tails.

Tomorrow's race.
Thanks @shimceltic for this suggestion.

Last year we started on Telde and did a big loop then the climb, there are a few ways to do the climb and I think the downhill bit is part of what I did at the finish

Finally chance to do my undone Kalo Chorio ride. I have now 2-weeks break for the work which is very welcome. That 2-weeks is mixed of 6-days off and few days layoff.

Join the race today. It’s downhill. A good warm up for the Kalo ride

Thanks for the invitation Randy but I need to rest today after a 12hr nightshift. From tomorrow it's a better times for indoor rides.

I didn’t see any avatars

 

[Randyberlin]

It must be because it was not a Rouvy course.
On the other hand it was the closest I’ve been to the winner.

Me neither.

Well that played out differently in my head before I got on the turbo! 😂
Thought the update had tweaked my settings so I couldn’t see other riders! By the time I’d messed with them and gone back to the ride, everyone was off into the sunset.
Then to add insult to injury, chain came off at the only place in the ride that would cause me to come to a complete standstill!! 🤦🏼‍♂️
Still enjoyed it though, pity you couldn’t see other riders, or was that just me?

Sorry.It was my fault. I didn’t know there wouldn’t be avatars. Now I know, do you guys want a different ride for Saturday?

I wondered where you got too - downhill suits me, so it probably would have been a good course to see how we could work together.
It looks like my top speed is capped at 44.7 mph, so I ease off when I reach that and let gravity allow me to rest a bit.

Yes, no matter if going 4wkg or 2wkg it stopped at 72kph which is 44.7mph.

They must have just added this one of the other platforms used to have the same cap - wonder why exact same number 44.7 ? Used to keep eye out for it then coast for a while . I did notice the stronger riders could reach max speed a lot quicker than the lightweights same as irl and I suppose in real life a lot of people would panic if nearing that speed ! I would 😁
