As Shakespeare would say, A pox on both his trainers!Yes, there were quite a few old ghosts to choose from. for Gw, I chose his Tuesday ghost at just over 29 mins but also a faster ghost, which kept Jim pushing to the line

My ATR Tripster V2 bike is now finished, weighing in a 22.4 lbs./10.1kg/1St 8 lb
For reference bare 57 frame is 2.067kg. Tripster carbon fork 536 grams
Same weight as my carbon Boardman CXR, give or take a few ounces.
No weight weenie, but less than 10℅ overall rider&bike weight.- quite easy to achieve, had fish chip supper!

That's not too shabby. Is that with the Hunt wheels? They have a nice looking lighter disc wheel set now but it is rather expensive.
Complete bar bottle cages, but it has pedals aluminium seat post and stem, fitted GPS and all season hunt wheels 28mm tyres. I suppose I could shave a kilo being anal about it, but not worth it to me
erm... sorry can't do the 5pm re-run... I took Mrs B to Braehead, shopping. Popped into Evans Cycles - treated myself to some 'spring' clothing as you do. Anyway, after Primark and visitingannxouplemof jewellery shops 
we then did the food shop...
... it was then that Mrs B offered to take me to lunch on the proviso I didn't take in my new bib shorts and tights and start to examine them in the pub. I reluctantly agreed to this, however, I'm still here and Mrs B has offered to drive home.
I know some of you will be worrying about the perishables in the back of the car but no need to worry - it's 1 degree and currently snowing outside.
So... enjoy the run and I'll see you tomorrow.

Unfortunately i also cannot make the 5pm re-run, although my excuse is nowhere near as 'original' as Jim's, felt restless this morning and decided to go for WC 7, not sure how but the ghosts bkool 'chose'? for me included Artanec and Bill S to name just 2, well you won't be surprised to know i didn't see them after the start! still i improved 2 fitness levels and got (for me) a decent time, so am currently relaxing resting on my laurels 
good luck to those who manage it and look forward to seeing some competitive ghosts

Unfortunately when it comes to hills I'm about as useful as a chocolate teapot, it wouldn't even hold cold tea as I'd already eaten it...
Not many hills on this one. I'd expect you to use Jacobs ghost to get to the hill at the end then unleash the wild boar and destroy him.Unfortunately when it comes to hills I'm about as useful as a chocolate teapot, it wouldn't even hold cold tea as I'd already eaten it...

Bill will start it from his league tab, you join it from live rides. Easiest way is usually to search for "bill " in the nickname filter just after 5pmits been a while, on Bsim do I join the one in my league tab or wait and join the live one,
