Very fit. Have a few weeks off, then try again, bet you'll get a higher heart rate

That's all well and good Andy, but wheres the family bickering and feuding that typifies my rides? I suspect that has been heavily edited or its just the beginning where you were still on talking terms
I commute by bike, so not really much of an opportunity to get time off. I'm off for a week in October, but I'll be in Naples so planning to ride up Vesuvius. Not sure if that counts

Yes this was in the morning, fresh, flat and excited to ride in France. You should of seen us in the Paris suburbs when another hill appeared or I took a slight wrong turn

Probably doing the 6.30 XRS Race tonight if anyone fancies it.
Think I've dropped the idea of doing the Academy. Fickle me
I am going to carry on. You don't need to do the ftp at the start but it helps set you zones. Real issue is the social rides are slooowww-real sub2 and perhaps not as fun as a pack sub2 either.

Didn't you notice the daughter's " Sagan" move at the start? Good technique, just a little too obvious.That's all well and good Andy, but wheres the family bickering and feuding that typifies my rides?

Looked a bit half hearted-the brother stayed upright
Karma came back to bite he though, she crashed into the back of him at one of the many intersections, then hooked handlebars, fell off winding herself, then again when she forgot we had to ride on the right and lost her front wheel correcting her line. Silly Billy

Yes, but only some I think.
I did the KISS race and there were 45 starters. The starting rush was fast - evidenced by getting a PB on the warm-up stretch (2 seconds slower than Mr Bobinski's best).
A group of 10 went off the front (most were clearly over-C) and I hung on. At the start of the last lap we ran into a massive group ride. Probably an Academy one.
The front guys used this as cover to escape and hit big w/kg numbers. It was hard to see where they were and you also had to fight against the sticky draft of the group riders. 5 or 6 got away and took the top places. One rider also caught out, chased me down and passed me but then blew up. I chased one of the leaders who was fading but they kicked hard at the end and beat me by 2 seconds. That rider was 6th but the first legal-C. I came 2nd.
It was a short race, 35 mins or so and unsurprisingly I hit my highest average power.
Enjoyable race even if it took a while to get my breathing back under control!

Nightmare. Sorry to hear it. Might not feel like it but it will soon pass.
