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.

Just keep that up an get older and your ranking will increase.
Loose a few pounds and your W/kg will rise as well, again along with your ranking.
As the merecat says, "Simple!".

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.

And I did mean fettle and not fertile DP!

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

I have to forgo my 5am raid london. My mates will be racing it and I cannot stay on hoods long enough to stay with them. Very jealous but they will need to be going fast in case they are chased

 

[bobinski]

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

Jim, there are organised full and half pru rides on the London course in Zwift this weekend. Won't be the full course though.

Jim's got the best version of the Pru including hurricane

The getting older part seems simple, losing weight not so much.

Thanks for the 'good lucks' chaps. Gave the bike a bit of a service today, hopefully we both arrive on the mall unscathed...

I wasn't planning to push too hard but two guys at work both told me their times for previous years so that may change the complexion of the day slightly!

 

[bobinski]

Yep, good luck TT. Proper fuel and hydration. You are off early enough to make time to get away from the hordes before the Surrey Alps. Watch out for muppet cycling and above all have. A great time

Well its hard for me not to be thinking along the same lines but I'll try to put it off for a year or two if possible. Just started cycling to work on the mountain bike which I can almost keep in a straight line so that might help a bit.
Anyway, I'd better go and set up the SC stage 2 ride for 5pm.

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).

Wow Thanks AAAC!! You towed me from 32nd place to 10th in that stage and nearly 4 mins quicker . I'm totally knackered but very happy with the result. No sign of you fading at all and I know you could easily have been up at the front had you not been working for the team.
I think you have many good years left in you yet if tonight was anything to go by

Its a good work out for me having to adjust my tempo on the hoof to suite other riders.
Virtual riding does not make it as easy as reality.
I must admit I was a little frustrated that we came so close to the two Danes out front, I thought if only I could make our group a trio you would get more draft.
I was half watching the race ahead in the leader board and was surprised to see how long I featured out front from my last ride, perhaps I could get some time back.
I was also surprised how late Pep came through.
Edit: Then I looked at the stats graph from his ride!
