hi Cliff,

yes I certainly did, there are some fast riders in the group tho. i started at 07:03:45

i got overtaken lots and failed to pass anyone but I did enjoy it once i had recovered!

I looked at the recording Geoff did and your watts were holding up pretty good, just as well I didn't start out in the pack last night or else I would have been going backwards.

Great job. Just a quick question. Now the series has two rides completed, how are the scores aggregated? Is there a league table soemwhere for the series?

Good for you Andy. I am there In July but none of my group want to do the 3 routes They want a rest day after going up the once

I feel a Julie Andrews song coming along!

Give the envelope a shake Andy. Any 'spare' invitations fall out?

Only joking, were away in September. Very jealous of you though! Nice 1 mate

Here you go, the details if anyone fancies joining in

Derek - I felt you breathing down my neck for the last few miles and had to really dig in to keep ahead. You made up over 3 minutes on me, so I expect things will be different on the Chaingang races.
Hopefully you can enjoy the 'fun'.

That looks great Andy - I would really love to do some of those classic alpine climbs but no way I can get away with a week away on my own at the moment sadly! I'll be interested to hear about yours and Bob's experiences though.

One day....

I can't see it Rob - is it showing greyed out in your activity history or not at all? If not at all you could try opening the sim again and it should upload any pending rides. If this doesn't work, you may be out of luck and the ride lost unfortunately....

I can't see either yours or AAAC's from Tuesday night unfortunately. I can see the test you did on Monday on my Homepage and in the League lists from Tuesday.
Geoff may be able to get it included in the results as he has your times from the video.

Hi Rob.

Even though my mechanical stopped things for me I still saved the ride on exit. It hasn't shown either.

Hi all
I haven't been around lately due to work commitments and playing golf in Spain.
While over there I badly sprained my ankle on a ledge I didn't see and will be out of action for a while.
I will be watching as a spectator until I''m back so keep up the good work.

Does anyone have or know of a short, up to 2 miles, variable bkool route. Lots of little short steep climbs and short descents with a good video.

I'd like to set up a demo of what the system can do before and after our sessions next Thursday for anyone mad enough to want to have a go

Gentle trundle 66.9 miles outdoors, yeah right. Only 3 of turned up, dammed hard headwind going out, quite nice coming back with the wind even though fatigue was beginning to rear its head. Note to ones self, don't eat such a big egg/sausage bap mid point, I couldn't get my heart rate down from 170 for miles whilst I digested said bap, eventually everything settled down and I had energy to give to the legs. I averaged 16.5mph on 40mm tyres, which surprised the other two. Schwalbe G ones roll quite well
