We are so confident we have decided the guys are starting a month later and will still win

You are in the news guys...or at least the event is in the news:

www.feltet.dk is probably the biggest online bike site in dk.

edit: Just looked at the translated site, and it looks terrible. Could someone find a better translate tool?
Whoops, looks like I translated the wrong way. Here's a better translation:

No mention of our incredible athletes

Not yet
So there's the answer why I'm not in the team. I'm not active in any danish leagues.

I'm off work today and will be shooting for the absolute USA record for the chain gang course.

Have i told you about my knee?!?

Well, knowing you have all been sitting on the edges of your seats waiting for an update It transpires that i do have a miniscus tear in my poor right knee. I suspected it having had one before and an op to repair. Doctor doubted it wanting to concentrate on the ITB but Physio with a few simple but very painful exercises confirmed it. The good thing is he thinks it is a small tear and so we are going to concentrate on exercises to strengthen the glutes and then also the quads to see if I can avoid surgery. Its good news because i feared i might have osteoathritis in the joint. The best news is cycling is about the best exercise i can do for both. Walking by far the worst. So, watch out you fast guys, it may be that when bkool sorts out the software and trainer compatibility i will be back to challenge, cajole and generally pi*stake. Well, i can but hope!

Randy, which stage you doing and when you doing it? Love to join you if it isn't some verticals thing? And I don't get in the way if your record attempt.. I've just had something to eat, so a little pogged at the moment, when you planning your attempt at greatness?

It should be 7 tonight. Right @BILL S? Pogged not in the book. Someone tonight will have the absolute world record. There aren't any rides on that course yet.
Google explained pogged.

My orthopod explained to me there is no blood flow to the middle of the meniscus so if the tear is on the edge it will heal but in the middle it will only continue to tear. I am trying to avoid the knife again as well.

Indeed 7pm new Chaingang league. Course should be flat and fast but don't blame me if it's not .

Randy,I hope its on the edge for you. My physio seems quite confident its towards edge. We will give it 8 weeks and if no improvement then off for a scan.

The WC stage is underway and this Spanish chap is at the front. Flying along on the flattish sections at decent pace and watts but when he hits the hills... his watts drop right off, his cadence is high and his speed goes through the roof.. can anyone explain this please? He blasted past everyone including Jacob... et al...

The screen grab doesn't show the best, at one point he was doing 33 watts at 22mph..

Sorry chaps, can't make the chaingang as I have a stinking cold.
Needing to rest up and dose up to recover for next weekend.

Easy, he weighs about 25 pounds....

alternatively.... Bkool power measurements are crap.

He smashed mikmac and Jacob... and he did it on 12% climbs at 20+ mph.. his HR was high but his output on the climbs were lmost not worth recording... very very dodgy indeed - & Bkool were watching.. must have been a little embarrassing..

Sounds highly dubious. Email this in to Bkool and it will be a test as to whether bkool will remove the result.
Edit: he may have well have used slope reduction in the settings. There is a dubious result on stage 8 at the top Look at the profile and it looks very different to that of others.
