I wont be going too fast. A towed BillS might be hard to beat on Saturday. Especialy by a minute!

I'll try and tire him out on Thursday and then you can go for the kill on Saturday!

Hi Benji. I'll need to know your bkool name to be able to accept the application. At the moment there are 10 applicants but I don't know which one is you.
The reason we don't accept everyone is that we like to keep it to a group who can have some banter on here. Otherwise it ends up you have 1000 members with only 10 of them ever doing the races. No obligation to be posting on here every night at all though.

Hi Bill! I am Ben H I think (or El Gato). Realistically I won't be able to join the live rides every week, but would like to join whenever I can.

Thanks Bill, I am in! Will try the Nuenen one at my lunch break. I did this one "live" but without being in the league, so it didn't count. I seem to remember being a bit broken after, so will be interesting!

Ben. I think we're all a bit broken after most of the league races so it probably shows that you're doing it right. In one or two extreme cases there's even been some of us

OK, well I did it! Although I forgot that my old time (21:14) was in the pre turbo tyre era. So I was 2 mins slower today, but with higher HR and an extra 16 watts... so I will put that as a success! Great course by the way, lots of water features to distract from the pain!

Oof! That was tough. I thought Keiths ghost was there but it disappeared. I was relying on using it nearer the end.

Edit: @keithaitch do you have your setting set to public? If you haven't, we might not be able to see your ghost.

How do people protect their bikes from sweat when riding indoors ? I use a towel but I was wondering if there are better ways.

You can buy aprons but it's two towels for me, one on the bars, one on the cross bar which sometimes slips off when I'm up out of the saddle giving it my all trying to catch @BILL S in the last km!

Thx

That is what I do as well. I sweat like a pig. I saw this "sweat protection nets" - does anyone have experience with them ?
