So guys here's how it's going to work, and, yes, I will repost this closer the time.
Next Tuesday at 6:20pm, I will open an Alpe d'Huez session, which will be password protected with the word 'goat' all lower case.
Paul F is our front runner, and he is the only one that needs to find this session initially. I will do the full 10 minute warm up, so the race itself will start pretty much smack on 6:30pm, and when it does start, off you go Paul, ok?
Now it gets technical. Here are everyone's time handicaps:-
Rayvon 10m 8s
Bobinski 13m 31s
Randy Berlin 21m 59s
Robert 22m 10s
Geoff 23m 19s
Kipster 29m 53s
Adski 34m 49s
Blueface 38m 37s
Bill 38m 39s
Everyone needs to find the session and monitor the 'underway' time. As soon as the session time hits your assigned handicap, hit the start button, followed immediately by the 'NO' box, as this will place you at the start and not immediately behind Paul, which would obviously be quite unfair.
As soon as you are able, get pedalling and get to the top. Geoff and I have practised this, and if you hit start, and 'NO' quickly enough, you can be off the start line in about 8 seconds. If we all start in this manner, everyone will be in the same boat, and the 8 seconds login time becomes irrelevant.
It is imperative that you closely monitor the session as it runs, you can even spectate, if you are far enough down the start times, but you are all responsible for starting at the correct time. I will have exited the session after Paul sets off and will be scrutinising the start.
If anyone has not been assigned a time, but would like in, and let's be honest the more that enter, the more fun it will be, let me know, and I will work out a suitable start time for you.
Any questions?

OK by me.
Since joining a cycle club I've been hammering the miles. Had a knee problem which I've sorted via a bike fit so had a few.weeks easing off.
Just did a sa calobra session and my ftp has flew up I'm now active 5. Might take a full weeks rest once every 3 months ;-)

Well done all of you, was a good battle between kip and Bill....then Bill put the hammer down!....good win.
I knew he would have me on that last bump, just couldn't get any gap on him.
