@Jim Brown you destroyed me there.
I thought I'd catch your ghost back up on the flat but I had nothing left. I guess you were racing Whorty at the time so you were putting in the effort. That was really tough to do twice in one week. Pretty tough week actually with the Liga1 on Tuesday.

Pretty tough week actually with the Liga1 on Tuesday.I was also watching that race and expecting Jacob to replace AAAC at the top of the leader board. I was too far back to see any time differences but I was watching the two blue dots getting closer and closer. I thought AAAC was doomed during the last quarter.@AAAC 76C very very strong and a great finish.

Good thing I got a bit of a head start on you @Randyberlin otherwise it would have been absolutely down to the wire.

I just wanted to finish. You were way stronger in the uphill.
Jim is flying at the mo.@Jim Brown you destroyed me there.
Reminds me of Whorty, one minute steady and now at a different level.
Bravo
@Jim Brown you destroyed me there.
aye @BILL S when I got down the slope I waited for @Whorty and sucked his wheel all the way to the line. When does the Liga finish? I’m doing two stages a week and trying to tick off CG as well. The Liga is killing me.
Great effort doing CG twice Bill.
Very honest riding, no drafting at all. @JacobSkovsgaard caught @AAAC 76C however @AAAC 76C took the lead and powered over the line. Outstanding ride.

thanks for the grafiti
it was a race of 4 halfs and some good old bkool magic
had a magic start like jim
settled into the climb at max effort and the bkw were dropping towards the top
had enough left for a surge over the top
rested all the way down until the intermediate rises and false flats and went back up to max chat with a few nice bk power overswings
spent the second descent recovering and watching the gap to jacob shrink and still cant believe i stayed away to the final false flats
managed to suck his wheel for a couple of km and launched myself before he did and got some turbo tommy bkool nc stage 2 bkw going out of nowhere and just kept my big nose in front
question is who left the start line first
whoever did looses
Jim is flying at the mo.

Bkool magic @Marino.g ... I was very much back to normal yesterday my friend. I rode the Liga 3 last three miles at under 5mph.
Yes, the HR is a give away. For that speed/power I should have been at 180+ . It just seemed that if I kept in a big gear and stayed on top of it then the speed stayed high. I could feel the gradient changing but the 5% didn't feel like a 5% more like a 2%. It felt Ok until the chain dropped so I wonder if going from 0 speed back to full speed somehow confused the sim?!?Ahh... that explains it.. all I was left with was painting WTF on the road.. you were getting stronger and stronger and your HR was going down.. ha.
I wondered about the stop.. thought you’d bailed and popped the drill on..
Regardless. It was a very good effort Sir.
It was still hard work, but I know I'm not that good

highly recommend my new tyre
150 psi lets you spin like as roller racer going down hill
directional side tread and a parallel centre tread is perfect as well
on descents move your weight forward off of the back wheel as well

it does its just like the super starts
from zero the resistance change is too slow
