I've just checked on a category enforcement race and I'm now eligible for C again (until now C has been disabled on cat enforcement). So whatever effort I did that pushed me over the limit seems to have expired. Happy days are here again

A quick read suggests a saddle pointing up can cause lower back pain, which I do struggle with on long rides (3+ hours)...

I can confirm this ... I also noticed the same with it pointing down

Although my lower back is FUBAR anyway, so it might be just me 😭

Id like to get nearer 3W/kg which means I need around 13 Watts over race distance at current weight. Weight- I'd need to drop another 7kg to attain same W/kg. Im looking at maybe 3-5kg further loss, which would make me the lightest since my teenage days.

It might have to wait till summer for longer rides to build a bit more endurance . Too busy with new home to dedicate anything more than a hour rides

You've improved a lot lately. I remember finishing behind you in the first race of the first Tour de Splitters and being quite annoyed as I did 2.4W/kg and you did 2.2

And is the time from the gun or is there a lead in?

Just thought I’d say,

@berty bassett another stonking series mate, congrats on the clean sweep! 💪💪

Very well done to @bridgy aka ‘Mr Consistent’ too on another podium 👍👍

And @Rich A, for a brilliant debut series, consistently beating lots of the more seasoned racers to grab the 3rd step! Really well done mate 👍

And well done of course to anyone who won their personal duals further down the order.

Just all-out from the very start

Good luck!

First proper B race in a long while. 10 lap Crit City. As expected dropped mid race, but I expected that. What I wanted, was to be pushed to work harder than previously.

I lasted 6 laps from 10 came 31/52at the finish. The placing result largely irrelevant.

What I did get was a higher Wattage for a 6 lap PB segment. A higher cadence and a heart rate that wasn't max'd out.

Onto next week to hopefully hang in for longer.

Oh I did get lapped by the pack that dropped me-the shame

we both know results don't tell true story boss

I will go to ride France R.G.V route. My plan is ride most of a time easier except when sprint segments comes, then I will try to push clearly harder but not necessarily all out.

Easy ride this morning. Wasn't so easy on he way home though after eating this at the cafe stop

 

[Legs]

I’d have thought that would have given you more energy, @Joffey !

I pressed the reset button and did an FTP test this morning. Ah well, it’s somewhere to start from…

Went to the local animal rescue to donate some leftover food from our late cat. Had to fill up...



Popped into the bike shop and got my hands on some safety features:

Pretty creative use of the cut-out if I do say so myself

I think the time includes the lead-in, so go for it from the start
