I’m up for another cc spin tomorrow. Last week the elastic band effect (not sure if that’s the technical term...) worked pretty well and it was a good laugh.

Kip has asked if we can start a little later so maybe 18:00 if that works for people. Everyone’s welcome of course. From racing snakes, to them what loves cakes! 🎂

( speaking of cakes, Happy birthday whippet! 🍾)

I'm in,

I may join as a warm up for my TT at 7

Good to see you in that race tonight @<Tommy>, @bobinski and @berty bassett - I was more than a bit race rusty but I did enjoy that! I got dropped by you guys and the rest of the front group on the first small 4%climb in the volcano (nasty noises from the trainer while trying to hang on!) I thought that was it for me but I kept going and rode with a small group for quite a while until a bigger group caught up with us. Then this bigger group started to gradually catch up with you guys in the front and a minute gap was eventually down to 15 seconds. I thought we might catch you up completely but the 15ish second gap held - unfortunately!

I see you two finished very close together Lee and Tommy - very generous of you to let Lee win the sprint as it's his Birthday!!

What happened to you Bob, did you finish?

@bridgy you may not have known it but you nearly gave me a heart attack tonight ! You were coming up like a freight train and there was nothing I could do about it - never been so pleased to see the line - bloody strong finish !

Guy currently 'winning' C race held 6.8 w/kg for 24 mins Me thinks he's gonna get DQ'd (or invited to ride with Ineos)

Yeah I didn’t realise how close you were @bridgy until I was going through the line. Lucky really because I was done in! My one shot was probably making it into the front group as I knew you guys were both off the back too but I just couldn’t bridge the gap. After that I just wanted to hang on to the group until the line.

Well deserved victory lee 👍

Paul are you going to be able to join / set up a meet up tomorrow? Anyone fancy using discord?

I've got my new Bluetooth headset as recommended by @kipster

I think it'll be better with discord, although I have diy'd a platform to allow me to get the laptop closer so I'll be able to read the messages.

I use these Amazon product ASIN B075XHXKZZView: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphones-Mpow-Bluetooth-Waterproof-Cancelling-1-Black/dp/B075XHXKZZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=mpow+flame&qid=1586286914&sprefix=mpow+&sr=8-4


I did have a set without the bits that loop over the ears but I trashed them on the chain ring when they fell out 😂

I would note that the price seems to have gone up, I'm sure I paid £20 a couple of months back.

@Whorty

My memory gets worse year on year... But I still keep a few cells reserved for the important stuff! Remember when you recommended the cherry Bakewell vodka? well, one good deed deserves another 👍

They were £26.99 I think but about £31 with p&p

If wheel sucking like your life depended on it is winning , bring it on 😁 very rarely poked my nose out front , kid myself if I was able to stick with other group 🙄 so quickly forget about the pain
