I have to do all that in order to "not be last" by 1 second

I was feeling generous

All this planning for rides is making mine look totally inadequate.
1. Leave it 5 minutes from the start of the ride
2. Jump on bike
3. Rush back to house to get drink
4. Pedal like mad for a couple of minutes
5. Try hard to stay in group
6. Make up some places on the climbs
7 . Try not to lose places on the descent
8. Go to 5
9. Finish

I rearly look at the elevation profile, it's just a pretty much all in ride and the HR is high whether climbing or not. I'm set at 100% for the ride feel thingy.

I plan to do stage 8 tomorrow, I'm not sure today's 57 miles outside in the wind was the best prep.

As a rule anyone who tries that hard to convince people they’re not trying? Is trying to hard.

2/10 for effort 👍

All of these course notes make me feel really lazy about my preparation. I literally just saw that stage 7 and thought: 'Eh, why not? Need the climbing for Tron bike' and jumped in

Trust me I'm trying on the rides, just disorganised. The worst thing is for all my trying I'm still only mid table. I know my place in the cc world order 🥺🤣

It seems I'm even lower in the excuses score table 😂

On a slightly different (more optimistic?) note: Did the weekly Alpe ride yesterday. Was around 40s up mid way but then bonked Legs just quit - it was ridiculous. Ended up few minutes slower.

Considered quitting but carried on. Good thing I did too - got the lightweight wheels. Not like it'll help but nice to have them

Nice. How many times have you done it now? It's supposed to be something like a 1 in 8 chance

Do you think the mods ever bother looking at this page ? Or do you think we are self moderating 😁

Can I put it to the test
