Good points those better warm-up and cooling down and ofcourse better dehydration before actual training session. I skip that way too often. Thx for advice. Maybe bit of salt before session is not bad either, depending metabolism.

I normally hit half a litre of SiS Go Hydro, and half a litre of SiS Go Electrolyte 30 minutes before the session starts ... It helps to wash the painkillers down ... I follow the session with half a litre of Sis ReGo.

No cramps for me with that regime ... well not real ones just the phantom cramp like pain from sciatica

Jim, we drink to numb the pain not to stop it.
Plus it helps us forget how much it hurt last time in order that we don't mind doing it again.

That’s what I said didn’t I? I’d be surprised if anyone misinterpreted my additional advice?

My cramps came yesterday morning when i woke up. Those cramps was result of too hard training without well recovery/rest, dehydration etc... .Today it feels much better i rest few days before next sessions, try to do next sessions wisely.

 

[Bored Man]

Single malt whiskey and beer, i have done that dehydration perfectly

Bravo

You will soon be competing at the highest level... 2 bottles of white wine every Friday night..

My New Years resolution is to get rid of this Red hat and set up camp in mid-table beige mediocrity.

The punishment for this offence in Cyclechat is 3 back to back climbs of Alp d'Huez.

Haha. Negative. That was Southern France. We’re all road legal!

Finished stage 3 yesterday in 45.50 roughly and stage4 today in 43.40 roughly.

Bkool shows my "attempt" so hopefully I can bribe you with a virtual beer and the wish for a happy new year to register

In that case I refer the "Admin" to my latest attempt at CG3 ... No Massive improvement, but an improvement nonetheless

I've approved, but as my CG4 ride hasn't even shown up on the CG4 stage results yet, I wouldn't hold much hope out that your ride will make it to the CG3 results page or the main results are updated. Seems Bkool update script hasn't been run again for a few days (I bet they have to run it manually and they're all partying away instead!)

Hello. Found you via bkool. Did actually join many moons ago but neglected to post. Would love to join some rides soon in the correct time zone. Have requested to join the bkool group. Many thanks.

Hi Sean, what's your Bkool user name? I don't see any request from a @Londonbg or a Sean waiting to be approved for the Bkool Chain Gang group/leagues.

Happy New Year (in a few hours) everyone - here's to a fun and healthy 2018. Thanks for making the last year of virtual - and occasionally real life - riding so enjoyable

Because it beats my 46:12 ...two virtual beers to NOT approve it.

Should have guessed otherwise you were on the wrong side of the road as well and that would have been another 3 ascents of the grande Alp.

 

[berty bassett]

just in case you all don't venture into the splitters page - happy new year to all of you
thanks for making virtual cycling more exciting

 

[keithaitch]

Happy new year to all, thanks for making me so welcome. I had a real ride today had forgotten what a joy freewheeling is, you move forward without pedaling strange concept!
