With regards to Bigringvr there apparently bringing in some sort of race feature in the middle of the year

Virtual racing?
That won't catch on!

Just finished CG1. I couldn't seem to find anyone here to add as a ghost so ended up doing it TT style.

Finished it in 32:05. Pretty happy with that as it was the first ride since pre-Christmas/Illness. I might give it another go later in the month when I'm feeling stronger and there might be a ghost or two available to add so I can get a bit of respite! . Puts me in the chasing pack for a WC place.

Keith - I've added my time to your spreadsheet. Pretty sure I haven't buggered it up .

Thx Peter. Good time in tt mode. @BILL S and i had a sort of tt race last thursday, but much harder for you solo, without somebody to chase just out of reach or to try to keep ahead of when they are breathing down your neck.

Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!

"A vague haze of delirium
Creeps up on me
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see
He's dressed in a silver sparkled
Glittering gown
And his golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground
Nothing to say, nothing to hear
Nothing to see
Each sensation makes a note
In my symphony"

Well, I have been lurking a bit, as i have had time on my hands, having slipped on the ice walking the dogs and recovering from concussion.
So, I haven't felt like getting out on the road, and finally set the bkool up, and had a little spin up on the Stouby-Sejet route. (while listening to Tommy soundtrack!). I certainly will never be The Bkool Wizard that's for sure. But hopefully I shall get to the point where I may join you and possibly latch on to the tail end.
If AAAC 76C is hammering round that course in 29 minutes, I can safely say our 2-up days finished in 1978!

Well done that is a good time on your own - I am sure you'll go quicker with a ghost or two to draft with. If you can find someone's ride to challenge you'll at least get their ghost even if you can't add any more

Definitely some good competition for those top 5 places The hilly stage will be very interesting.

BKOOL Stannah stairlift league?!

 

[AAAC 76C]

I looks like my late working night will be Wednesday this week so the Chaingang Express should be leaving the station at 19:10 on Thursday.
All aboard for a qualifying time.

BKOOL Stannah stairlift league?!

No stairlift in my gaff, just a Supersonic Rocket Ship:
Let me take you on a little trip
My supersonic ship's at your disposal
If you feel so inclined. Well alright.
We're gonna travel faster than light
So do up your overcoat tight
And you'll go anywhere you want to decide. Well alright.
Too many people side by side
Got no place to hide.

Had a bingly bong email of shame off @JJRobinson tonight for the NC qualifier. Over 2 minutes faster than me so I think that puts him into the mix.

I think I would be more suited to that kind of mix

That is a new definition of the word "Interesting" that I am not familiar with
