Good use of the power ups Andy . I wondered why I lost time on the first descent to you as I closed over the top but you anviled me . Then using the aero just before the top to gain another anvil . I probably used my anvil too early as I just expected to catch you and not to come flying past only for you to drop your anvil later and come flying back past .

Cheers Phil


I used my Anvil in response to you. I wasn't making up distance even though I weigh far more than you. The anvil made all the difference, gave me lots of momentum to gap you on the descent. I then realised, if I deployed my power up just before the KOM banner I effectively got two power ups to go downhill with.

I didn't realise Peck and Lieberg who were at the front with me were in the same team - they had different tops on - that's naughty. Had I known I would have tried to drop one of them, but I thought they were different teams so was happy working with them where I could.

I thought there was a rule around that - in that you had to wear the same top in a team?

As I neared the Kom banner I saw you use the aero pu but presumed you had used it after the banner not before so I was a bit surprised when you went by with an anvil pu . Had to watch your vid to find out

Technically they could be complained about, but the best way is just to beat the bstds

We beat them, so I guess no point complaining - but it was very naughty of them. Their name tags didn't give a clue either. I waited up for your little group so I could get a rest, but had I known that they were in the same team I would have tried to drop one of them, and certainly wouldn't have let them take the FALs.

I'll make the buggers suffer next week!

You were last week. We laughed that you were contributing to the improved rank of the CCC team.

I became a B on ZP last night, but only just, so I didn't get a code 7, so my points still stand, but I can't carry on in the play-offs according to the rules.
Shame about the Crit race, but I'm not crying about the 3 laps of Rolling Highlands TTT.

You'll be missed Alex, but a cracking ride last and loved riding with you in CCC .... onwards and forwards 🥳

 

[mjd1988]

If I'm still in c (and I think I might be for a while, limited time at the min for rides) certainly will

Some strong riders signed up for Thursday

Some strong riders signed up for Thursday

And also me.

My only plan is to try not to lose too much time to Andy and Phil up the first climb and then see if I can catch them back up on the downhill and the flat. It's at that point that I'll regret putting the second ascent in!

Alex, Congratulations on the long fought off promotion 👍😁
