Nice FTP increase

1hr14 . A few were disqualified from your event Dean. One from mine and none from Carl's I think they were using ZP which is not really accepted these days in the more serious events. HR monitoring is becoming a requirement aswell

Lots of PBs Dean
Mine and Bob’s?!? Don’t listen to him Dean.
Cracking time mate especially given lack of sleep and illness.
Shall we all try and ride as many of the other stages together? I know it’s not easy because of work etc. But it may allow us to work together and get better times.
For the week day based rides I'm going to have to WFH so I can do the 6 o'clock sessions, as there is no way I want to ride at 8 o'clock.

Have you watched too much British TV by any chance?
That's not fair though given you have a bit of an advantage with the pro. We could give you a handicap ...
I fear that after all the chocolate today i may need to raise my weight in Zwift again!
Don't listen to Bob's cunning plan to use us heavyweight riders to draft him along the flats and downhills, only for him to steal glory on the steep finishes
Road to ruins next, probably my favourite route. Happy to ride together

I have few BBC channels, can't say i had any influences from there but i have colorful imagination sometimes. Anyway i like British humor, it hit very well Finnish people overall.

Yes i'm aware your handicap system, that is fair system.
For me it takes sometime to recover, thx for a shiftwork. In this age (53 almost 54) take sometime to recover, i should keep rest days more often i do.

So, so cynical
Didn’t I slow and help you up the incline on that ride a few months back?
The unofficial word is not to get dropped on any gradient less than 5% because the draft works up to and including 4%. Sonif we can stick together at a fast pace we all benefit. Yes Andy, that probably means you are at the front
Take it as a compliment
