Well now you put it like that it sounds so easy.....That should be fine. I reckon he caught my ghost up and rested before blasting the last 5km at around 600 watts.... we can do the same and then draft his high speed effort and out sprint on the final 200m

His power reduces quite a lot at 9.4km mark with no big finish so it should be relatively 'easy'!
It may get a bit crazy from the 7.2km mark to 9.4km as this is when he hikes up his effort.
Can we agree on an every man for himself sprint finish from say 300m to the line?
Absolutely - from what you say, it sounds like he started his sprint finish a bit too early so it will all be about the timing!His power reduces quite a lot at 9.4km mark with no big finish so it should be relatively 'easy'!

There definitely is that but a bit like zombies they tend to be a good incentive to get moving.

It is the Arrow Sportive Andy on 6th May, starts in Market Rasen and has 3 flavours a 52 mile, 81 mile or 100 mile route, they all get the same lumpy bit at the end. Is run by Cycling weekly.What Sportive is that SV8? BTW have you been knocking about Cranwell?
Get out of the big smoke(literally) and come and see big sky county
Doing it with my 11 year old son and will be firmly using him as an excuse for woeful times.
Yup the mean streets of Cranwell are indeed my manor.
Hang on, you do realise that drop in power you mention is from around 700 watts to "only" around 450 watts right?!
"Relatively easy"
Will do Paul, plus a load of other ghosts.

Yes, I see it was a walk in the park for DP and Bridgy. You guys can thank me later for providing you with great handicaps for the next TTTThe TTT ride I did is showing now..
.I just had my Pro calibrated and if everything goes as suspected I should drop down a bit in Bkool performance, but hopefully with watts more even distributed, so I can stay with riders with same ability on both climbs, flat and descents.

My legs are feeling good a bit jelly like so not sure how much I can put in on the ride, i'll try my best to help get us up there but if I slow right down then don't feel bad blasting on...Hang on, you do realise that drop in power you mention is from around 700 watts to "only" around 450 watts right?!

Used to live in Beckenham until recently. Morning commute had me struggling up Sydenham Hill. Would love to have a ride up there now with my new found climbing legs
