OK. No worries. Hoping someone in my team might join. I've ridden it before, but want to refamiliarise before next week.
I'm off work tomorrow so might try and join you if I can get myself organised (and I'm not too destroyed after tonight's Ladder race!)

I hope someone else joins as it turns out my wife has a hospital appointment she needs a lift for, so I can't race

Did all eight of the Climb Portal Spring Classics this afternoon, although across two separate sessions. Cipressa, Poggio, Oude Kwaremont, Koppenburg, Paterberg, Cauberg, Mur de Huy & Côte de La Redoute.
Some of the shorter ones like Koppenburg were somewhat ridiculous with it just being a straight line up at about 14% with a portal gate every 30 seconds - if you were lucky enough to get a feather and trigger it straight away it lasts longer than it takes to reach the next gate! I think I probably spent more time riding the lead-in through France than I did on the climb.
