if you stand out against the crowd you are considered weird - in this case I am happy to be weird !! you are all bonkerers - what's next - sellotaping your ears back ?

My ears are beneficial with a tail wind 🤣

With you on that one. If it gets so important to be aero that removing leg hair becomes an issue, why not cut your bollocks off as well to save weight?

Waxing lasts a lot longer than shaving. Just saying like.

Yeah, my GF has 'kindly' offered to do it. I might end up experimenting - shave one leg, wax the other.

The resulting loss of testosterone would make it counterproductive

Might be overestimating the amount of weight loss too

I said it in the chat group already. I think that’s the best ttt I can think of result wise. Including ones we’ve won. Four guys from the start. One had never ridden in the team, never done a ttt, never ridden in formation, not even sure how many races he’s done to be honest, drafted in last minute! Bram was under the weather and showed it during the race. I’m still getting the effects of covid to a degree. I guess all this stuff is obviously relative to the strength of the field… but there was something very consistent and satisfying about the way we road the course. 4 beating a lot of teams who had 6.

It’s a shame the way the league has petered out isn’t it. Too much bad luck to contend with in the end.

That was a stunningly good performance for a team of 4, before taking into account a novice rider and a sick rider. That’s one of the toughest TTT courses on Zwift.

We finished 14 seconds faster than you with a team of 6, finishing 4th out of 15 in our league. I felt super strong on lap 1, but after the 2nd climb up East Street I was on the limit.

We were really happy with our ride and the work we put in, so kudos to you guys. Awesome ride!

I think for most on here that would fall into the smallest of “marginal gains “ 😁

You're splashing the cash at the moment @mjd1988 ! Neo bike, snazzy fan, power meter spindles.

New frame next?

And all for under a tenner if my wife asks

What should one do after cutting them off? Ask their wife's boyfriend to store them, perhaps?
