Yer was in earlier than I thought so thought I’d rush about and ride at 6 where there would be more taking part. I was in 2 minds go flat out on the flats to try and gain a bit of time and loose them again on the hill. Or save a bit for the hill and go faster up the hill?
I didn’t manage to do either Still have stage 3 to do. Yep more hills

I have stage 1 still to do - I need to try and find the race with the most other riders so I can get some drafting benefit. Stage 1, being a flatter course, is going to be hell if I'm left in no man's land! I'm looking at Saturday afternoon at the moment for my attempt.

I then also have to still complete the proper league stage 1 ride too - that could also be a lonely ride and could lose me quite a bit of time.

I’ll do the League stage 1 with you. Will we have a blue finish line though?

Cool - let's agree a day/time for maybe Monday? I can set up a 'meet' and invite other CCers so we may get a bit of company too

Hats off to everyone who completed the final stage of the ToL over the last couple of days.

Updated table below. ToL makeup stages run this weekend and I'll give you until Christmas day to complete our stage 1. Ho ho ho

Maybe we can try a handicap TT between Christmas and New Year before the Tour of Watopia and the new league starts in Jan?

Yeah, thanks guys , couldn’t sign in to forum last night to report Stage 5 results but @peterob spotted it🤓👍.
Grovelled in last 1 1/2 km of Keith hill and managed under the hour , so was pleased with that. Managed a Kudos PB on Strava which had me reflecting on not giving out as many as receiving .
Catch up day tomorrow so will get Stage 4 done then hopefully a mild Christmas to get a bit of real world riding in the hols.

I achieved the 'Unemployed' badge tonight for 14 consecutive days, a day earlier than I expected!

Which was nice.

Signed up to ToL stage 1 at 4 o'clock today if anyone fancies helping me get a good time

Tomorrow is hopefully Bkool stage 3 race.

Monday is definitely Chain Gang league stage 1 race day - @Milzy how does about 4 o'clock sound? Need to triple check with the wife but I think that should be OK for me. Anyone else fancy riding the league stage 1 ride again and want a meetup invite for Monday?

 

[Brendan Parker]

1.16.35 for TOL stage 3 for me. Absolutely brutal for us fat lads dropped chain at top of leith and lost my group. Lonely ride from there. Still all stages done. Beers tonight. Well done all. 👍

ToL Stage 4 1.28.23 @peterob

Wow! Did I not like that as Graham Taylor once said!

Far fewer people on the course, so much less opportunity to draft. Tried to keep it steady again, but just completely blew on the second lap and lost around 8 minutes on the guys I completed the first lap with.

Managed to get into a group for the second lap, and it seemed everyone in that group was just concentrating on getting round. Nobody really made any effort to jump off the front, which was good as we just seemed to help each other to the finishing line.
