Tonight will be a recovery ride for me. Main effort on Saturday.
1400 have already conquered it today!
it's going to be very popular, what was your time? Are you in the Strava cyclechat club? @kipster can add you if you'd like?

My time was 58min. It's been a while when i hit join a cyclechat club but something didn't go right, i don't see myself in there but i see cycle chat in my clubs. I would like to join. Name is Juha Lehtinen, easy to find in strava.
I've just asked to join the Strava group.

Just waiting for HID to finish work but my legs a too fekked even for a recovery ride.
I have done 1 or 2 (mainly 2) for a few days on the trot and my old bones are finally complaining.
So I'm afraid I will be a spectator at the most tonight.
Good news is Bill if both myself a Peterob don't do this final stage and match your time you will take the GC and very well deserved too.

Watched last year's Tour of Flanders today.
I had forgotten all of the excitement.
Gilbert's long distance break and Sagan taking out Van Avermeart not to mention Sep Van Marke's tumble taking out Like Rowe as well.

Yep I was watching that too.
I've ridden the sportive and stayed on to watch the Pros for the last 2 years. Its a great weekend. Stayed in Gent and enjoyed the beer as well as the cycling.
Watching from home this year.
Not sure I would class waiting until you guys are too distracted to notice then getting a tow to the finish by your ghosts as very well deserved, but it was the only way I'd have a chance of getting into the top three these days. I know my place but admit to getting satisfaction from underhand but legal (only just) ways of boosting my position in the league.
I gave up the WC cup some time ago as I struggled to put in a decent ride with having the CG as well, so kudos to you and Pete for getting right up there near the WC top

Thanks for the company gents. And thanks for reminding me to pay attention near the end Bert. Was that a dead stop or a deja vu that got me at the final sprint? I seem to remember something similar happened to me last time we rode together.
Note to ones self: Bert always keeps a good bit in reserve for the final sprint.

I’m not getting too excited as I know it was a recovery ride for you. Thought you was jossling for position then gunna rein me back in. I ll take it all the same
You did seem to have come to a stop just before the finishing line.Thanks for the company gents. And thanks for reminding me to pay attention near the end Bert.

Both you and @bert1971 dropped me on the final sprint. I kept the power on as much as I could and when I reached the line you seemed to just be doing a track stand as I passed you! We ended up with the same time, which was odd.

Just checked myself, I am just 40 seconds up on Pete after 16 stages, that's closer than the CG after 4 Stages.
