i am glad this series of races has been such a success it seems like you have all enjoyed it
its not something i think i would be interested in as i always just do what i want , if ive had a hard day at work then it shows when racing . i don't mind letting myself down with poor performance but don't feel the need to add pressure of thinking about letting a team down or having to have tactics , i always try to ride to my limit as long as i can , sometimes i pop sometimes i get away with it but quite happy doing it
missing the small meet ups we have as there is less places to hide
not so keen on the big races as they feel like they make me lazy in a strange way , not strong enough to hold front group so grab another group and float at the back no putting in as much effort as i would if on my own

Gutting Bob! Hopefully the madness can be stopped soon, we can beat this virus, and get the world back to normal againFor the record i haven't raced recently coz i was on a training plan on SF for my now aborted trips to Nice and Flanders and now Majorca. Also, i suspected many of you were simply treating them as Z2 exercises and only Del has proved me wrong

That’s all well and good mate, unfortunately that doesn’t fit the criteria of a “real race”...
For that you need to receive points just for turning up.
Yes, Brusgaard and Tommy, we do whatever we want. There's not supposed to be any obligations being a CC'er. Having fun and getting fitter is the main goal.

I would rather self isolate with Boris Johnson

I totally get what you're saying. I don't mind either way but I had a lot more fun when it was just us guys.

Have I ever said anything different to that?
I’m not sure it’s me that needs reminding...
Seems Nick Hancock will be joining you two
Went out in the real world today, before that gets banned too ... blinkin eck it were windy! Headwinds I can deal with, but the sudden crosswind gusts were worrying at times 
Road surfaces in this neck of the woods are pretty bad, so didn't push too hard, mostly pootled around at a (probably) zone 2 pace Looking forward to warmer days now

TBF to Tommy he has always said the goal is fun and fitness.
I can see the attraction of the Danish league and may join the next one but , especially as our numbers have grown, I would like it if we all raced each other. It adds a certain frisson.
