@rob01792 did you find that 1.5 w/kg group ride pretty pointless and badly organised tonight? At 0.9 w/kg I was pulling away from the group. I did try to ride with them but could only push 60-70 watts when in the draft. You'd gone up ahead and after the first part of Box Hill I got bored and pushed on a bit. I was hoping you'd follow me over the top and down the other side but you seemed to stop. I just kicked on after that and picked off quite a few other riders who had clearly got bored too! Won't be doing that ride again, that's for sure!

Yes it was to hard to stay under 1.5 w/kg if id know i would have tried to follow still load of messages flying around not meant for our ride
No i wont be doing that 1 again the sub2 yesterday was better as an easy ride

The msgs were just confusing. I thought they were all for us at first then realised there were lots of rides going on. I got a good ride in the end, but no thanks to the organisers of that one. 1 1/2 on the bike tonight is not too shabby. Saw @bobinski there too, rode with him a bit but I went a different direction as didn't want him falling off his bike again in front of me ....

Whorty, you moan too much you joined a 1.5 ride deliberately targeted at beginners and the unfit, on your souped up turbo, days after a successful Cat B race and complain?!? I look forward to seeing you in the Kiss Cat B tonight

 

[bobinski]

Dean and anyone else, I will be doing the Kiss race tonight. I have agitated legs this morning telling me I have to ride ​

 

[CXRAndy]

If I remember I'll log into watch offer thumbs up. Are you all doing cat C?

 

[Breedon]

I'll be doing cat c

I was expecting it to run at 1.5 wkg and the plan was no more than 19 mph. In reality it was 0.9 wkg and 13 mph. I would say more than half of those who started were struggling to ride so slow.

You live and learn :-)

I'll be on bkool tonight so won't be on the KISS ride to help you. You'll have to find someone else to draft behind

Yeah but if you are getting 30-80w advantage then that’s .5w/k already.

Ok, I will hide behind Dean - if I can go that fast

Hoping to be online for the kiss race @ 8 o’clock. Literally will be getting in through the front door & straight into the garage, have no idea how I will get on but going for C Cat again.

 

[bobinski]

Cat C for me too.

 

[berty bassett]

Just me gonna be trying then is it ?

 

[LiamW]

I'll have a blast at the Cat D then, C would be just a step too far at the minute.

Lee, you cheeky bugger! I think we will all be trying...

 

[bobinski]

Tommy, LEE and Dean can you pm me your mobile numbers so I can add you to our Pyrenees whatsapp group?
