Thanks, second ride (and any form of excercise) for about 2 months (although that excludes lifting pint glasses). There is no way I can keep up with the strong fellas anymore .

Are you saying i'm weak? , seriously though as Whorty said, welcome back and don't overdo things

Staying ahead of you is now my life's mission! If I can do that i know i've had a good ride...

Cg2 as a warm up for cg3!
My HR was quite high but that was the asthma making it hard to get enough oxygen into me. I was fending Steve off for about 45km!
I have about 6 weeks to get back to it.... It's a count down to my wife's due date so I doubt I'll be allowed to even get near my bike for a while afterwards.

Assuming babies not an early arrival

I'd start negotiations now!

And like that Paris roubaix winner Matt he used Zwift during those dark times to train to power

If you think that stage 4 was hard, then good luck with stage 5...
I rode it today without ghosts and bots, but feel free to use me as a ghost:-)
Have fun :-)

OK, about your kind offer to use your ghost on stage 5. You appear to have averaged 510 watts.....

I guess 430 watt is enough if you follow my ghost closely ;-)

OK, thanks. Should be able to follow your ghost for about 200 metres before i blow up

@rob01792 when are you planning on doing stage 5? If time permits I'd be happy to join you to make it a little easier for us both?

I might just about manage that! It would still be though!

I'd offer to join you but feeling rough today. Can't tell if it's a cold or bad hayfever. What time you planning it?

I've heard that old chestnut before @Whorty ... you're in a different class to me...

I may have a go at 4 today.. with a couple of friendly bots..

May join you at 4 if feel OK. Breathing really not great again and very weezy. Hoping just a cold or hayfever. Just taken my TUE . If you warm up from 4 I'll try to join you and we can work together until my body gives up on me Given Jacob's time I'm expected it to take us 55 or so minutes

I've got a few bots in there but I've left out @JacobSkovsgaard - it's really demoralising when they finish, shower, eat and have a nap, and I'm still two miles back down the road.. I won't be killing myself as I've got a five minute cushion on @rob01792 , that plus I've got a really bad cough <cough cough>, a bad migraine, my lumbago is playing up and as for my remaining lung.. <cough cough>.. I was going to blame it on beer drinking related asthma but my doctor refused me a TUE and just gave me two ibuprofen..

See you at 4
