I might race tonight... well not race but tootle.

It's a flat course ... should be a mass sprint finish

Im going to try something. I will log into Zwift before I go out at 4 pm it will auto transfer me to the event start. I will hopefully be back at 6.15pm I'll see if I can just start riding once I've paired my HR - fingers crossed.

I'll then ride the event

Do you have a dog? Could always pop the HR band on the dog!

I won't make it tonight - family stuff. Go well riders, may the force be with you.

Boys, I am out for Wednesday. Going to try and get out for a meal with mates in case we are moving quickly to tighter restrictions.

Rubbish tonight - got dropped on final time up hill. Bs chasing every break. Legs like jelly ... was all the mince pies earlier I think!

Better than me. I got dropped the third way up.

But yeah, wasn't feeling it tonight either. That said, highest 20 min power in watts so far - despite loosing 2kg since the beginning. Best DBR finish so far as well - 62nd before the disqualification wave. So yeah... Progress, progress. Also finished before John

Well done Peter, that start was mental! I quickly found myself in the grupetto. Luckily I was near the front of it when it split and just had to hang on best I could. Did beat two Danes in a fiecely contested sprint at the end though.

Got back with a minute or two before start. Bike had lost cadence connection, but reconnected when I started pedals. I then quickly got changed-race had started

I was now about 2.5 minutes behind the last C rider. I felt at this point, Oh well, just potter around, treat it as a recovery ride.

I spent the first part of the course just spinning up the legs. Arriving at the base of the leg sapper, I held 330W, which chiseled off 30secs from the nearest back marker. This is where I decided to set about how many I could catch. I caught 4 back markers in C and didn't get caught by the front of C

It was a good to have a physical blast after a weekend of over indulgence 🍷🍮🍰

Pete, another scalp I see 👏👏

Is it Steen next on the list?

I got dropped on the final climb even though pushing 6 w/kg ..... was bonkers. Could see the lead group 20 yards up the road, couldn't latch back on.

ZP has recorded my ride, so late starting has a simple work around
