Proposed stages of Tour De Splitters #2.

Tried to get a mix of terrains to suit everyone. Last time, finishing on an ITT worked well as various people had small time gaps to try and make up on others, and it's the "race of truth"! Also, being on TT bikes, people can do it alone if they can't make the final stage for some reason.

As mentioned above, any complaints will be dealt with by my "enforcer" @<Tommy> who's prepared to be slightly less diplomatic than me when the cat-herding becomes difficult!

19:45 on Tuesday nights, starting the week after the last stage of ZRL?

Looks bloody tough Paul, but no pain, no gain 😃

Sure I can gather the results - are we doing points and GC times like TdZ?

Thanks Al - yeah why not do the points as well if you're happy too?

I think I'm in for the TdS, but I've got to shift this cough first...

Ah feck you've got me. The curse of the crit strikes once again - I stayed within limits on the mountain in the ZRL but the day after I joined a Cat C crit and got dropped 18 minutes in and with 2 laps to go, I tottled around and placed 20th. I thought I was just fatigued after the previous days ZRL hence getting dropped in the crit, but to my shock and horror I'd a 20 min ave of 3.5wkg despite going easy for 2 mins. 😖

P.s.- anyone ever bought off the ciclimattio.com site? Seems to have decent reviews but any first hand experience?

Probably get the anvil.

 

[JuhaL]

Probably get the anvil.

...or cloaking what might surprise other riders even more for a moment.

Don't eat a Burrito 🌯...

I cannot recall who recommended Intervvals.ICU but i really like it. I have been trying to get my fitness up before Majorca without overdoing it and this little snapshot gives an idea of what you can see and monitor. Probably more important for us older peeps :
