Well done mate, the hard works paying off. Don't stop pushing! ( or peddling...

It's a TUE, honestWhorty quote:
I've just sorted out a few things that have clearly helped.
1. Brakes were out and rubbing, so I was effectively riding on breaks
2. Tyre pressure was very low (45 psi) but now 100 psi
3. The asthma 'fix'. I no longer struggle with breathing when I'm on Bkool which is making a massive difference
4. The DD training is paying off
5. Drug use

I'm so impressed with your determination and hard work.
You get out what you put in and its well deserved.

CG2 primed and ready to roll. New track pump turned up today and tyre at 100 psi (feels like concrete!!). TUE delivered in unmarked brown envelope. Be on there about 4-30 if anyone wants to see me struggle to chase down @rob01792 ghost and usual blistering start
Go for 120 at least.
That last 20 does make a difference.

Ive always gone 110.. does that extra bit make any real difference?
100 was rock hard and I was nervous about a puncture if too high. I might try a little firmer if I can be brave enough

Think about it, if you have a road tyre that can be inflated up to 130 PSI that means it can withstand road shocks like holes, bumps and bunny hops.
On a turbo the loading is far more constant with very little impact. Add more pressure and the resistance will fall and create less heat hence less stress.
We should in fact all be using track tyres and running 160 psi but then your traction will suffer.
Could be 5 or 10 watts at a guess. I sometimes go 150
Traction only suffers on over about 7 or 8 % slopes in my experience.

Blimey... then again with your new low weight you could probably go up a bit more!
I'm worried something will go bang if I pump it up too much!
Sorry Whorty. No sign of your ride. Must be lost in Bkool.I have just spotted that we have exactly the same time! I should have added your ghost to my ride and I could have drafted you and pipped you at the lineLet's play it by ear and see how we both feel tomorrow afternoon
@BILL S - I think my ride might need to be released as it's not hit the league yet. Cheers.

It must be a truly fantastic feeling to see the difference that properly functioning lungs , non catching brakes and fully inflated tyres can make
It must be like taking the handbrake off a moving car !!
Couple that with the time and effort you have been putting in while being held back that must have built body up
I think the chequered flag awaits mate !!
