Team BKool CycleChat

[RickB]

Guys, I've just published January's Thursday Night CC League, I hope you like it.

For those who like to get in an early run, Stage 1 should start tomorrow (or Tuesday, knowing BKool's vague approach to dates), but the group runs are all scheduled for the usual 7pm on Thursday.

I have tried to password protect the sessions, so if it works you should have to enter cyclechat as the password.

Hopefully something for everyone.

On Week 2 there's a Group Velodrome session, but as these don't seem to show up in the league, I'll just start a Velodrome session at the appropriate time, and try and make it a timed session, so it's down to how many laps you manage in the, say, 20 minutes. Then there's a very short climb to follow, to give something to include in the league that week.

The other weeks include a mix of stages, a moderate run with ups and downs, another with some added flat sections for drafting, a short rolling course and the monthly climb, a 30 minute climb from the 100 climbs.

7pm Thurs Jan 1st - Moderate c.45 min. 10Km mix of climbs and flats - RUTA CISTER ETAPA 3
7pm Thurs Jan 8th - the Group Velodrome then a short 1.2 Km climb - Salcombe Hill (No. 12)
7pm Thurs Jan 15th - the Local choice - c. 30 min easy - Dipford Loop (my local easy training run)
7pm Thurs Jan 22nd - the Monthly Climb - c. 30 min climb up Haytor Vale (No 9 in 100 climbs)
7pm Thurs Jan 29th - Moderate c.45 min. 18Km of climbs, flats and some descents - Ponferrada 2014

Hope to see as many of you as can make it on Thursday night,

Geoff

Real nice mix there. Something for everyone. Thanks for all your work on this Geoff

Attempted a bit of hill work in readiness for the goat series, felt i'd done well until I saw that Bill had done two big climbs versus my one medium climb. Oh well it's a start....

Hi Guys, i signed up to the Thursday night ride, appreciate if you can add me

Just ordered the Pro but been playing about on my original trainer, i never guessed that this would be possible... winter training just got that bit easier!

Easier? LoL

Looking forward to some climbing next year, hitting the trainer and road hard next year, all so joined the rebels group.

Hi Breedon. Unfortunately the Rebels are dormant at the moment. If you want to do some climbs how about joining The Mountain Goats? Just set up with 7 members right now and the first League about to go live tomorrow.

So I've set up the first Mountain Goats league which should go live tomorrow.

Well done for your pre-Goat league training Kipster. If its any consolation those two climbs absolutely killed me. I don't think I'll be fit for tomorrows ride.

Hmmm, I think I may need to take a good book with me, as it will take me a while to get up those ...

Yeah! you mean the same book you had with you during your last FTP test

Good to have you on board. I'm pretty sure I'll be at the back on the last one so you can all take turns for the fist three.

Actually, I had Muse blasting out to keep me going, I find it helps to keep the pace up.
