Iirc @BILL S did a league with a significant number of the 100 climbs on bkool. I did them and nearly broke my legs.
I think that was before my time. I remember the Goat leagues ,..... I was the slowest by far, but always completed every ride as I knew those who didn't complete a stage was given my time + 10%Iirc @BILL S did a league with a significant number of the 100 climbs on bkool.

I think I can argue who was slower. @Aleman put that together and they were killer.I think that was before my time. I remember the Goat leagues ,..... I was the slowest by far, but always completed every ride as I knew those who didn't complete a stage was given my time + 10%

Well that was a unique experience - taking part in a TTT where I wasn't constantly hanging on to the back of the group for dear life! I even managed a handful of pulls on the front (albeit short ones).
Team CCC did really well, especially considering for many of them it was their first TTT experience and for people like me, the first one where it was with a team of similar abilities. We probably started a little slowly as we were still working out how fast we could go as a group for the first few miles without putting anyone in the red zone, which meant teams were catching us, but once we worked that out we kind of held our ground - even the teams that did overtake us found that they couldn't open up a big gap on us. And that start may have worked to our advantage at the end, because we ended up having enough left in the tank for four of us to mount a late charge and re-take those lost positions in the final mile.
In fact had it not been for a long line of riders from three teams all mixed up directly ahead of us, we might have been able to finish as a full set of six riders - we were just getting stuck in everyone else's drafts all the time but eventually enough of us got through to be able to pull away and sprint for the finish.
Video is uploaded and will put the link in my next post - now in HD!

Maybe you joining the pen so late meant that your avatar didn't have time to get changed!
Personally I thought it looked cool to have a "captain's jersey". Think it should be a thing going forward...

On Bkool I was definitely fat bloke at the back. I think I rarely came anything but last
Those were the days ... Team Beige forever

I was in a race once with bridgy and the bike I was showing on screen was different from what everyone else could see. I can’t remember if I was supposed to be on a tt bike or a road bike but bridgy saw the opposite to me. A quirk they haven’t fixed I guess.
Well done last night guys đź‘Ťđź‘Ť.
And what a great thing for such a small community to get three teams out. I know it’s been a couple of weeks now but I think it’s really ace.

Really enjoying racing back here with CC68.
For our first time together last night for the TTT we rode it very well I thought, @straas @Girafitti with their first-ever TTT absolutely smashed it. I was hanging on for dear life at the end. @Ketty solid as always and @BurningLegs what can we say, 2nd time around so strong and pulling the strings
Well done #23 and CCC great effort all round

Nice to have you back in the fold oh my prodigal son
. Our newby also performed reallywell and will only get better - well done @CMaguire. And @BurningLegs that is some performance. Not sure I could have done another one 
Well done ZRL racers- I enjoyed the TTT last night. Was trying to work out why and I think it being all over in 34 minutes was a big factor!
Trying not to think too much about that hill in next week's race- based on how I got dropped on those short hills last week I'm going to find myself going backwards quite a lot!
