Wow, you Danes know how to target on the visit Denmark emails. I accepted the cookies and rewarded with the Fastelavn pastry.

Yes, I like them!! But they have become too expensive, so I rarely buy them.

@Brusgaard I want to try those little round filled pancake like things that use the special pan to cook. Pastry and coffee....mmmm.

We've been having power cuts all day. If I start with the neo plugged in and lose power will it auto carry on without electricity?

Neo runs fine without power, but your internet might not.

Id forgot about that. Might do it off the phone screen instead or actually I'll hot-spot from phone to laptop

Internet ISP dropped. Bkool locked me out. Restarted comp after race, time should be in there now. It was fun while it lasted though.

Well done @Rod McG . Very strong - I just couldn't drop you on the hills tonight, then you had way too much for me in the sprint.

Good ride everyone. Not sure how I didn't even get in the group from the start, was like the old days lottery if you manage a fast start or not.

Not seeing times on the ride yet, but looks like I did a bit better than I thought after getting dumped from the race with the "multi-player server cannot connect" error. Pictured Shim hammering away in front of a tiny phone screen to keep me going as I tried to restore connection to Bkool.

I gained an Brusgaard on the climb then had a warming that by laptop was about to die. I'd forgotten to plug it in. Had to get off so lost a bit of time then... My fault.

@Randyberlin your snow canyon is stage of the day....

@shimceltic Damn this tech! In my my day all we had was a stick and a bit of string.

Thursday ride is short and sweet. My lack of carbs is affecting energy levels when need to do a burst, can manage a few then I'm done and into z2 ability. If I take a gel before the ride will I use all the carbs before the end so I'll still be in keto mode? @BILL S might know.

The body always goes to carbohydrates first if available.

Remaining in Ketosis is extremely difficult if you want to do high intensity activity.

I use carbs whilst racing, I don't actively preload for a race- in fact I usually race fasted in the mornings. Long rides again I will do an hour maybe 90 mins then start with carbs

Thanks, just seems since I started last week I don't can't keep up after 10 minutes when previously this wasn't an issue and Saturday I struggled to finish averaging under 200w when normally it would be 250. I know a month of no riding in December won't have helped either.....

Its far too early to expect performance whilst adapting to a low/er carb regime. I think it took me several months to be able to race whilst fasted. Listening to all the comments, expect your body to take 2-4 weeks to become fat metabolic adapted.

From there build up your intensity and duration of exercise. Don't be afraid to use carbs whilst training, especially high intensity.

Use proteins and fats to replenish directly after a period of high intensity. I use Whey isolate directly after a race or workout. I usually consume eggs/ bacon, cheese as my staple energy sources, which are next to zero carbs and will keep you in ketosis- if that is your aim.
