I also knew I wouldn't do any good, so had to find something to blame it onNot a good enough excuse there @Whorty you knew this ride was coming

Laptop, tethered to your phone (unless you can hack into NHS wifi). I don't have IoS devices so not sure if there is a way to watch on the iPhone

OK, what shall I get in for you and Paul
A nice cold pint of Guinness should suffice, but I think we may have to settle for one of the local Watopia brews.
My legs are tired as always af, so I don't expect any records to be broken this time around either!You mean me? My current PR was on bkool I think my best Neo time is 53 minutes

I felt great to be honest, all the way up to bridge but made the mistake of riding out of the saddle and boom! Sharp pain where right quad meets knee at anything over about 2w/k. Tried to spin it out but no go. Very strange watching literally hundreds of people ride past me up the Alpe with me just getting in the way

Bugger ... just saw @mjd1988 finish in 1:34 !!I was going to be happy with anything less than 1:40, wasn't expecting to have to knock 6 minutes off my previous time
Right, off to warm up. See you all at the top
Cheers! I'm happy with it, was hard to know how it went at the time without the placings tbh. I ended up taking it relatively sensible to the foot of the climb then raced against previous best time for the alpe which worked welll. I beat 20/21 previous segment bests so delighted, but wouldn't be surprised if you do it much fast than you are expecting - even uphill the cumulative draft effect is huge!

That's rough, sorry to hear that!
someone in the chat had their chain came off as they kicked into a sprint for the last 150metres

Great time there, lots of really good competition between you guys. And I think you are right there is a significant draft up the Alpe especially with so many rising.
