Team BKool CycleChat

[Steve]

Another desert stage SC4- another 'poor' time (for me), i reckon if i get around the leaders time less 20% or better i'm there or there abouts, this one 40%!, maybe i need a new go fast yellow BKOOL Pro

Any suggestions or preferences for tomorrows 5pm "re-run"?
I don't know how much (if any) interest there is in doing a CG re-run, but another possibility is to do some "Cupping" instead. I think Cyclechat can improve it's standings in the first couple of stages so depending on what everyone wants to do, that is another possibility.
So:
1/ CG rerun?
2/ Summer Cup1?
3/ Summer Cup2?
4/ Some random ride somewhere in the world?

We have visitors so I won't be able to make it on Saturday - have a good one whatever you do. I'm going to rest my legs over the weekend and then have a proper go at SC4

I need to do both the CG and SC from this week, and help with either would be nice.

I will go with the flow Bill although Jacob is taking about a minute per stage from me so perhaps I do need to catch up a bit on any of the SC's.

I'm doing the dessert stage later. Not sure how quick I'll be but it involves a rice pudding start, sticky toffee pudding in the middle and an Eton mess for the finish...

If I remember right I think we are both weakest on stages 1 & 2 so unless there are any other requests I think we should do one of those with a good spread of ghosts in the mix.

My deficit and yours on Jacob are:
S1. 01:40 & 01:50 total 03:30
S2. 01:08 & 02:16 total 03:24
S3. 01:16 & 02:00 total 03:16
S4. -00:14 & 01:30 total 01:16

I have a feeling Jacob will be doing S4 again but S! & S2 are our worse at the moment

S1 is only 13.6km so is really just an all out sprint hence not conducive to 'teaming' but with all the fast ghosts there some improvement could be made.

S2 is almost 30 km so there may be some considerable gains to be made (or lost).

So actually stage 1 might be best tackled solo with loads of ghosts whereas stage 2 might make a better CG replacement.
We're all out to get our best times though, so no pressure for anyone to hold back waiting for others. Also loads of ghosts so should be easy to get in a tow with someone.

SC2 any good for you?

 

[Randyberlin]

SC2 any good for you?

I could help you get to a 46 min finish.

Edit: that's good enough to get you on the third page!

 

[Brusgaard]

SC2 any good for you?

I'm pretty sure, I can't improve my SC2 time, as that was the one that got me to the Pro 3 level. Besides, I need to do CG4 today or tomorrow, before the CG July league ends. Then I need to do both SC4 and SC5 before Wednesday, as I'm at a football tournament/camp with my son from Wednesday till Sunday next week... You do whatever stage you like, and then I'll find some ghosts to play around with on the other stages.

Perfect weather for Prudential,. Good luck everyone taking part, even the interlopers

Good luck from me too. I'm seriously considering another attempt of a re-run on Pru Bkool.

Good for me.
Still not in my best fettle but I have a feeling that the peak has been crested and I only have a descent left.
