RGT

Sorry wasn't here during the ride, yeah it's supposed to be a steady social ride but inevitably with 124 riders, groups of different levels form and little races spring up. I started in the 1st group but got dropped to the 2nd, managed to lead it in but I don't think the others were pushing hard.

Did you enjoy it, that's the main thing? I saw your name pop up once or twice in the chat.

Yes I started at social pace but the group wasn't very big, so I went through a few groups to a decent pace that wasn't a race.

Yes, after the TDM when I fell behind my monthly kms goal to concentrate just on the rides I need to get the kms on so tomorrow, 60in the morning in the real world and then 60 on the trainer in the pm. If you want to do it is he happy not you race it,

Gonna do the 545 ride as its a bit shorter and gives me time to get a coffee after work

Is that the cyclo-cross test race, please report back as I suspect it will be a tough one. I would be there myself but my son is on the turbo tonight

Yeah, tough for what reason? Are the simulating mud and making it harder to peddle?

 

[kipster]

Cyclo-cross courses have lots of up and down, they are short but very frequent. The course profile looks exactly like that. I don't think they'll simulate mud and you shouldn't have to dismount to jump any hurdles

 

[keithaitch]

Yes, a lot more climbing on the cyclocross than the pootle through Slovenia

Maybe ill do the 60km if back in time. It has a massive wall half way though

 

[keithaitch]

Anybody joining us for a quiet, social, chatty? pootle?

 

[shimceltic]

Keith, what are tomorrows plans? Seems to be lots of omnioum type rides.

I'm trying to get my club involved with RGT, they are avid zwifters. I'm setting up a short local loop as a magic road to temp them into a group ride on it this week. I hope to test the magic road tomorrow with the aim of a club ride on Wednesday.

Real world ride around midday when the rain has stopped and the roads are dry, then some climbing training in the evening. Omnium looks fun, but my climbing legs need work.

Might have a day off tomorrow after work and try and make some headway into the book I'm reading.
