I was looking in for the second half. Saw @steverob do a lovely bike change on getting back to the tarmac. @BurningLegs was killing it in the front group and @Peter Salt finished with a monster sprint, kicking a few arses to the kerb. Everyone was doing great. Well done guys! Looks like we got 2nd overall.
(If I've understood it right, which is by no means certain?)

Bike changes from about half the field in C, although more likely in the midfield and back of the bunch. Only 39 riders on the start line, so everyone was going to score decent points, but still some really good placings - @BurningLegs finished in the lead group (4th), @Peter Salt and @Joffey in the top 15.
I tried to go long on the final sprint to shake off the three riders I was with who hadn't done anything in the group for the last 5-6 miles, but two of them overtook me on the line. Didn't really matter as it was only for pride, as we all were going to score the same points (21st to 24th), but still it stung a little!

Great results tonight all round, in C and B. Well done everyone!

Interestingly I didn't see anyone change in our group at all and I was looking out for it. Well done guys, think we were second (by a whisker!) So should be some battles up ahead

I was on a good day today but not going to lie, that felt a bit sandbaggy for me tonight. I was following moves up the main climbs comfortably and putting in digs in on the punchy bits.
The pace on the flat/easy bits was slooow!
In the end I sprinted from a front group of 10 for 4th and feel happy with that.
Got some nice numbers out of it:
- 800W badge in Zwift (surprised to hit a new peak tonight!)
- FTP increase to 225W (joint highest since the snip)
- Best 5s power of the season at 762W
- Best 5min power of the season at 257W

Great stuff mate. The B race was also eerily quiet until it was....very much not. so I think it was always going to be that kind of race

Happy you didn't get beaten by a girlie then?(She seemed bloody good uphill).
