Likewise - I'll be there for the CG 2 tonight, doing my usual time trialling at the back.
Hopefully some faster 'buddies' will be around to keep you company.
I'm on SC6 tonight - first ride in weeks so not looking forward to this one. Tyre not very inflated either so not going to set the world on fire tonight :blush: Set a time is all I'm expecting, nothing more :biggrin:

And this was the guy who left me standing on the first hill, as well as two others (one beat me by 7 minutes)
I'll tell more later but the gods were with me today big style

They're going to struggle to beat that AAAC. I don't know if your recce on Tuesday would have helped but probably the right speed to be a decent workout for you. I noticed that you did a few km of the CG ride afterwards and if you had finished it and beaten my time that would have been rather cheeky. :giggle:

@Whorty what happened I did wait but u didn't seam to be catching up
You should have gone back for him with your track pump. These rides can be quite tough with only 30 psi in your tyre.

I did the old join behind the last rider to try and give someone a shock but ti wasn't one of the normal crew.
Were you just 2 today then?

Heart rate was through the roof so I was trying to get it down. I felt great up the 1st hill. Could have cracked on but saw you behind so held back to try and pace you up. Got to the top and saw heart rate was 181 and I was starting to get chest pains, like I got on the DD. I rolled down the first hill then cycled easy on th eflat but just couldn't get the HR down below 174, even when not pushing hard. When you caught me up I did try to stay with you and manage the HR, but when I knew I couldn't do that I let you go.

Rolled in then with one of the Spanish guys. Played cat and mouse with him until about 700 metres to go then blasted away from him, hitting 760 Bkool watts :biggrin:

Good news is, when I'm feeling better I should be able to knock some tim eoff that course but clearly something not right. Could just be that I've been off the bike for 3 weeks, and hence off the meds, so my body had a small asthma attack (still a bit wheezy now). I set a time though that I'm not too unhappy with so not bad :okay:

You had a good ride ... better watch my back on the GC standings :boxing:

I didn't want to risk pumping the tyre up before the ride in case I lost all air and needed to change the tube. I did put the pump on after the ride to see if I could pump the tyre up and thankfully I can - the screw clearly broke off but left the valve open :okay: Anyway, tyre was down to 70 PSi for that ride... it's now back at 105 PSI. Once meds kick in again, and tyre is inflated I'll be flying :dance:
