Shyte, I'm still up.
Mind you I'm on TdF viewing hols.
Having a ball listening to the likes of Talking Heads and the Cure.
Home alone!

I was hoping to catch something on MTV but I'm too old

Wise old man be I.
Steve Cummings is my younger brother.

Edit: Nephew

He doesn't take after you much though - you're always on the front and he's always on the back!

Are you sure, I got one and then catapulted past you.
I thought you just got stuck later than me because my watts were low when I hit it.

No, I definitely didn't slow suddenly to virtually a standstill, I just put that down to the resistance kicking in at different times for us which I know can happen. In fact quite a few times on that ride you whizzed past me as an incline started and then I whizzed past you when it flattened out or went back down - as if your resistance changes were happening slightly later than mine

y resistance changeover least one third, and sometimes as much as half, into the new gradient

Can be frustrating!

I knew what it was but miss timed powering over the last major crest to set myself up for the descent as I was waiting for @bridgy.

As usual, I was really struggling to stay with you on the climbs so thanks for waiting. This is even worse right now as I broke a rib in that recent mountain bike crash, so standing up and really pushing hard on the climbs REALLY hurts at the moment! So I'm dropping down the gears and spinning a bit sooner than I might usually do - but however hard I try and however high my HR goes this just doesn't seem to generate as much speed/watts

Mark!

Have you applied to join the league on the Bkool website? If not, you just need to do this first, and then when @BILL S sees your post above on here he'll accept your request to join, and you're in!

The league races - particularly the live ones - are good fun and definitely motivate you to push harder than you would on your own

It's the right place Mark and you're now in the Chain Gang.

Also, I've taken the liberty of adding @bridgy @Whorty & @AAAC 76C to the admins as the other admins don't seem to be with us much anymore.

Good idea Bill.
I'll try not to let the power go to my head
