WC 12 done tonight and sticking my head above the parapet as depending on who rides between now and the next update I should be on top.
this way I can gauge who else other than Pap Tissue I am chasing.
Pap may be besting me by 25 minutes but he has done an extra 100km to get there.

Can't see it yet in the league but it is there in the route, I saw you when I was setting it up for me for tonight and blanched at your time! The guy who did it 5 minutes faster than you must have had an enormous dose of fairy dust!

Jim, your weekend ride is available for me to try on the sim..... I don't thing I can sit in my garage for that long especially in 2d! Great effort though

It is there now. Leading the GC by three minutes, for now.
I have been lucky with dust myself.
The guy that slaughtered me, well just look at the profile of his stats. He may have been in the session but his trainer wasn't.

Sorry I was thinking of this guy.

The other guys time (Micheal) was not there last night. He was hitting over 1000 watts a lot.

That all said I topped 5.6 W/kg which is absolute poppycock to put it politely.

Back to the 'real' league. We need Per to come back to make S4 tighter. I'm sure Bill would have been there if he had not chosen a ride with hills in.
As a Scot you would think that was his bread and butter (or porridge).

I'll be there tonight but have a hard rw ride this morning so will have nothing left tonight and so will be hoping to just limpet on to @BILL S wheel for a flat section that suits him much more than me! Assuming @perswe is still doing stuff in snow!

Indeed I am. Doing stuff. In the snow. Discovering muscles I did not know I had, nor that they could ache so much. Getting old. Better stick to the bike.

The person who invented the long, hot bath with a cold beer to go with had either been skiing or cycling just beofre his great idea! Enjoy the snow!

@BILL S it seems this month's positions 2 and 3 are yours and mine. If it's just you and me again tonight could we just pootle along for 9 kms and then play cat and mouse for the last 4 kms? Actually I had a hard ride itrw today (including an age group KOM on a killer segement) so am tired and am looking to get out of too much pain tonight !

Its a deal Keith. You set the pace at the start and we can stick to that taking turns at the front. Then when you think its a good time to go for the sprint, just go for it and I'll try to beat you.

I won't be on to act as pacesetter so good luck

OK this should be fun! I think anything is legal once we leave the neutral zone after 9kms. I'll be trying to maintain a steady 250watts for the first 9kms instead of the usual target of 300. No flying start either unless you are just bluffing me and hoping to get 30 seconds at the start and the TT it to the finish!

Great race @BILL S. Expecting a pootle I did have the course at 250 watts before the start. That and the hard ride this morning meant I had one bullet and fired it too early hoping to gap you on that downhill followed by an uphill in the last km. When you came past me I had nothing and cracked. Well save our two person duel for a later date when there's just you and me. The January blues seem to have gone and you are back to your best. Good to see
