It is the hilly one, isn't it? 8pm kiss Watopia hilly

So it is. My mistake. Still flattish except for the....hills You will be fine. Last week I tested my Neo against a kickr coming down from the kom, me at 73k and the other guy 67k and no pedalling and he overtook me. We concluded he crested a little faster and it carried over and then he caught my draft and sped past on a corner.

Last few km of WBR 4 x Flat Cat A. Team mate takes off to bridge; I initially mark then attempt to bridge but realize I'm dragging others back so sit in for sprint.

Nice sprint!

Just in case anyone wants to join me I will be treating the zsun chain gang as a warm up for the race. Starts at 7-10. It’s a fast one but with the benefit of the draft.

is there a way to give group ride ons

 

[bobinski]

During ride or at start? Only way I know is if using mobile link and you pinch an area on map and all get ride ons within a circle created by your pinch.

May well do - depends what time I finish work today and get on the bike. I'm WFH so technically finish work about 4 o'clock so more than likely I'll have been on the bike and showered by 7 tonight. I'm working towards the Tron bike too, so more likely to climb the mountains and add to my climbing tally I reckon if I push it I can get the bike by Christmas ... I'll certainly be getting it before @TurboTommy gets his Atom

Fingers crossed Whorty! We all know you like a head start.

Not just a head start, I need to keep moving whilst you guys have your rests

I'll try and join you guys in Cat C on the 8pm ride. Are we going to try and work as a team or is it every man for himself? (or every man vs the cheat on the Bkool Pro!)

I'm not racing tonight, I need a recovery ride after two tough rides over the weekend. Saturday was 33 miles mostly off road on the CX bike, and then leading a ride on Sunday and spending most of the time on the front into a headwind.

Paul, The hills will break the pack up, first climb is 2.5-3 mins long(there are four of them). If someone is near you, say, 5 seconds, then if you wish ease off and work together.

 

[bobinski]

so, everyone is racing in C? Seems a bit wrong given peoples watt/k...just saying

Well, we could try and work collectively to try and stay on Paul's tail until say the last lap?

Sorry Bob, I thought that was what you had suggested - I've just re-read your post though and I think you actually said Cat B. I don't really care, I was just trying to be sociable! Do they stagger the start for different Cats? If not, I don't suppose it matters which one we enter individually?
