I don't mind being a emergency reserve . Bear in mind I've never raced but woundnt mind giving it a go ,Definitely bottom of Cat C
You seem a perfect candidate for the CC teams ... getting your excuses in early, although be warned we have an official scorer of all excuses and he's not overly generous ... unless you died before or in the race, but even then I think he'd only score a 5 for the excuse (@<Tommy> )

Lee said earlier in the thread he changed to TT bike in the pen before the start - it's a known bug that if you do that, although you can see the bike you changed to, it looks different to the riders around you. Exactly the same happened with Michael in Tuesday's race but in his case he changed from TT bike to road bike and it looked to everyone else like he was still on a TT bike.

I've wondered in the past about exploiting this in the ZRL and making everyone else think you're on a mountain bike or something to mess with their minds :laugh:
I've seen that bug with jerseys too ... so probably the same for all 'garage' changes. You see it on your screen but the rest of the riders don't.

@Peter Salt I also missed it last night. I'll join you tonight if you were thinking of setting up.
Be really interesting seeing your time after this given your riding style of keeping a good even pace ... I can see you smashing this TT :okay:

Couldn't get on either last night as gong live with project this weekend and getting dragged into late mtgs, but if @Peter Salt can add me to the meet I can try and join if free tonight ... and wave you all goodbye on the start line (TT's are not my thing as I can't wheelsuck!!)

Anyone else not getting the little red numbers by the bell at top of page ? Haven’t had a notification for a couple of days - or have I been black balled from here as well !

I think that happens when you mark something as read but later comes back.

Still getting them.
You've probably been "bell-ended". :laugh: Maybe a browser restart or something might clear it?

Just to put you all on notice who are going to do the TT, all times and points ( especially those that are faster than me) wont be counted :tongue:
Might just play your recording on another screen to see how much quicker I am ;)

Seriously though, doing it on the stock TT bike so not expecting fireworks.
