Sorry Pete, 52:30 for me, the 48 was my PB. Beat you by 1 second!

With 7km left i had a wife emergency. I was about 50 secs behind Dean and about the same ahead of Brendan at the time 
Oh well ... shoot happens 
I did jump on to finish the ride to post a feeble time of ... 64:43 I may have to have another go at that

I shamelessly wheelsucked for as long as i was allowed then I was left in no mans land with no legs for ages - guess I have got to try better Thurs
53.46 for me
Some odd things going on there. I was slowly pulling away from the chasing group on the climb before the descent to the jungle, and then you all closed me down rapidly on the descent. I went from a 12 second gap to nothing in no time at all. You're all either a bunch of fat bastards or descending as a group must have some real drafting benefit.
Once you caught me, the chasing group split and I ended up with @peterob @Add and @Breedon until that Lucas guy got amongst us. I couldn't seem to get past him and once the gap opened to Pete and Adam I couldn't close it and eventually the elastic went.
Still, ok with the time considering I had to ride it solo from the bottom of the jungle. That gravel hurts!

Thanks al

Cracking ride Del. Put me to the sword again on the climb through the jungle
We caught you on that descent as there was 5 of us, and we were moving much faster as a result. I say 'we' ... I was mostly hanging on for dear life

I think Zwift is really punishing solo riders on descents. Alan and Lee took almost half a minute on me on the descent towards the jungle.
48:55 for me @peterob
Well done all. Enjoyed that one. It was all going nice and friendly up until leaving the underwater tunnel when a small group of HCC riders passed so I took the opportunity to jump on their wheels for a bit. Then @berty bassett lit the touch paper on the first big climb. We worked well together until the climb out of the jungle where I upped the pressure a little to see what would happen. You missed a good one tonight @bridgy

Yes!
It was a bit frustrating. I was working hard and felt like I was climbing well and suddenly all that effort was for nothing. I suppose that means you have to just adjust your approach. I'd probably have been better off dropping back and climbing with the group.

It was impressive I must say, I had no chance of catching you once you switched it up. Now all you’ve got to do is that from the halfway point and the yellow jersey is yours!Damn! Should have launched my devastating sprint a tad earlier!

You could have waited for me Brendanyer you should have dropped back about 3 mins
Quite a fragmented race last night with just myself and Adam coming in together. Table updated with last night's results - please let me know if I've missed any times.
If you haven't posted a time yet ,either do it on Thursday at 6pm or get a solo ride in, otherwise you'll be saddled with 110% of Whorty's time (although I imagine he'll look to get an uninterrupted effort in soon).
