Not sure what my PB is ... need to have a look ...
Edit: looks like my PB is 8:32 @ 253 watts (about 3.4 w/kg) so anything around that tomorrow will be ok I think.

As with a lot of these races, it's not just the time up the climb, it's trying to get over with someone else as the descent and then ride to the small KoM is faster with 2+ than on your own. So I'll be trying to stick to wheels up the Volcano ... I have a couple of riders I'd like to stick with so we'll see!
Given how fast you are these days ... I'll struggle to hold your wheel up there lol
Al was on fire last week, so I can see you two going over together and gaining some good time gaps on the rest of us

I'll drink an herbal tea before this one to be a bit more chill - especially at the start. Then hopefully find a wheel to suck on and ignore @BurningLegs and @Whorty taunts 
Top tip this week ... work really hard to stay in the group that first minute or two. If you get dropped early it will be a very long, lonely ride as the 1st 10kkm is pan flat. Once the group forms you should be able to sit in at about 200-210 watts.I'll drink an herbal tea before this one to be a bit more chill - especially at the start.

Coming out the desert there is a little climb that you may have to 'sprint' up, but again it's worth the effort as there will be some free riding the other side.
Mostly flat and slight inclines then to the volcano. I would assume most of us will make it to the volcano together, then it will be every man for himself to the top.
Should be a good course for you this week ... may get a few B scalps along the way ... but if you're still with us at the volcano, be prepared to suffer
Hey. I know everyone is enjoying the weather and whatnot but we are still racing tomorrow, yes? So far it's just one person signed up - me
Not me. Going for an outdoor ride tonight. TBH I don't think I'll be really Zwifting until ZRL fires up again. Need to take advantage of this nice spell of weather 👍

Sorry but I'm being pulled in 4 different directions this evening which I have had to prioritise. If it was a ZRL week I would race no hesitation but as it isn't Bude chess are desperate for another player in the 4NCL and being a founder member of the club I feel I ought to play for them this evening in their fight to avoid relegation from division 2. The other two options didn't really get a look in. Good luck to those racing this evening, enjoy the suffering!

That's to be expected in the midst of a large move and renovations though.

Sorry to report that I won't make it tonight. In Dublin overnight (and again tomorrow) for work reasons. Alas This week will be low in terms of bike miles.Al was on fire last week, so I can see you two going over together and gaining some good time gaps on the rest of us
Good luck everyone taking part. Hopefully a few more of ye can hang with Tommy and Berty for longer than last week. I'll keep an eye out for the results and tales of suffering later tonight.
