Wow thanks guys! Didn't expect such an enthusiastic welcome!
I think my toss up is what to do on the 'other' day, do I look for a race or do a Fondo type training session. I have the weekend slot for the endurance ride and then probably two more short midweek slots. I didn't realise this ToW was a race, I thought it was more of a group ride. I was looking for more of a ZP categorised racing league, but it would be good to have some less competitive riding with you guys.
That would work quite well actually and leave me with a Team CLS interval training ride on a Tuesday; ToW hard effort on a free day; long endurance ride on a weekend (gradually getting longer) and possibly a short recovery ride at some point. That's plenty for my workload.
Just watched Pritchard's videos on best bikes for flat/ TT/ climbing and done some upgrading in the drop shop! I'm limited at my level but still good fun!

You have joined a group of people here that lift their arms in triumph if we beat someone in the checkout at the shops

Just grabbed myself a bronze in a 60km race around London. Was planning a recovery ride so didn't blast out the pen. Just grabbed a group and worked with them to the end. Group was about 20 strong initially, but by the end we were down to 6 
Very good workout

there was no jiffy bag, and if there was, I don't know what was in it
