Depends how hilly and long the club ride is on Saturday morning (1st outing of the year for the summer bike :smile: )

Thanks guys for tonights session, I got dropped straight from the off and was never going to keep up. I was saved by the bell I had a visitor turn up so I had to log out. I am up for the re-run on Saturday and would welcome a few more novices as the pace of the front group is way out of my league.

Thanks again, see you again soon in Bkool world.

Not sure I can do that again so soon, and I was hoping for a decent outdoor ride on Saturday as the weather looks OK.

Also, I'm going out around 7pm so would struggle to do it all, but I may drop in for the first part, I loved the drafting.

But Blimey you guys go for it from the start, I was sitting at 360 Watts for minutes on end just trying to stop you romping away and wondering how much longer you or I could keep it up!

Monte, since you made over an hour and just about 30km I can adjust your time for you as mentioned when the league was published.

I am hopeful that most can complete in under 2 hours but I propose that we have an option to post an incomplete stage if it is taking too long, and so long as it is over an hour and completed at least 60% (30 km/18.75 miles) I'll adjust the time pro-rata plus 5% of the adjustment. This should allow people who can't afford more than an hour or so to take part in the stage, without giving an advantage for stopping early.

3,794.6 seconds for 28.14 Km, 22.06 Km left so pro rata is another 2,974.73 seconds plus 5% is 3,123 seconds adjustment to give total time of 1:55:17.

Would you like me to do this? You could still have another go at the session to improve on this before the end of the weekend.

You are getting to grips with that Kickr at an exponential rate Geoff. You were always within a couple of minutes of me, right till the end, when I tried to pick it up a bit, but then so did the leaders. This 'game' sees you pushed from behind as well as from the front. I was just as focused on keeping my lead on you as I was trying to gain on Bill.
I found that tough, but loved it. I have got a little flat spot on my tyre, from when I got off the bike a while back and the turbo must have been quite hot, and melted the tyre a bit. It does make for a rather annoying judder at speed.
Soon shred the rest of the tyre to match it I'm sure.

No idea how I'll perform, but intend to give it 110%! Especially if my arch nemesis Bill is in the mix.

I remember when I was your arch nemesis ... :cry:

Before you moved on to bigger and better! :rofl:

Ooh look, the sprint and mountain times are showing ... still don't make much sense mind, since faster times seem to be behind some slower ones!
