This week’s race.

I have ridden it twice in real life and it is beautiful. Look for Bigfoot.

@Goldwolfie didn’t you go down the west coast a few years ago?

@Randyberlin - Yes, but only driven from San Francisco down to San Diego on the Pacific Coast Highway, so not done this part of the US. North of SF looks beautiful so perhaps a trip for the future.

I'll have to do the Saturday rerun this week as it's one of our Grandson's birthday meal out on Thursday.

No idea, unfortunately. Either the recent update introduced some bugs, or the easter crap messes things up on this route.

Is it perhaps a Rouvy dev's little Easter egg - a line of rogue code designed to see if the testers are keeping alert?

 

[JuhaL]

Did Forest Dale today and it was pretty enjoyable. No-one else wasn't in a route so I couldn't use any kind of draft.

 

[Randyberlin]

Yeah. I got the NOS., (notice of shame)

There's no need to be a shame. We all have a individual goals to do indoor rides, no need to be a rivals, just having a good time much as we can.

That’s going to be a fast one 🫣

 

[JuhaL]

That’s going to be a fast one 🫣

I have ride that nearly 3-years ago. It took me 62mins. You probably ride in 50mins or faster. Maybe I try tomorrow how it goes.

Not going to be there tonight. Have a Community Tour stage to do on MyWhoosh. The server had an issue last night, meaning no one could join the race at 7.30 PM local.
So it is going to be PACKED at the same timeslot tonight. Tomorrow is the last day for that stage, but I have another race there, so can't do it.

 

[Randyberlin]

I'm not going to be on the starting line this morning. ill have to join @Goldwolfie on Saturday. Can you bring some scones with clotted cream with you? Its something we can't get here.

thanks for organising again - and yes it was a fast and hard one , got well and truly schooled in the art of racing and had a good old fashioned bottom kicking by Dugas but couldnt have tried much harder - I wish I had heart rate on but it was out of battery - would have been interesting to see - feel free to DQ me if hr is an issue - I will still have enjoyed it

When I dropped in you were ahead of him. And both ahead of the peloton

That was fun. The main bunch of 4 (which became 5 when Tenko caught us) worked pretty well until the last hill when I thought I might as well have a pop. But it wasn't long enough to get any kind of a gap and the downhill sprint to the line was too far in any case.

There’s a few new faces ( to me anyway) do you think word is getting round that there’s a race at that time every week or just casual drop ins ?

We probably need to add a link to here so they can officially join the league

 

[Barbes66]

I suspect it's chance drop-ins as I don't recognise the names. I don't know if it's worth adding a link to this chat in the event description? Or even if you can?
