Thought once you had took me it was over. Did you not have the legs to get a bit more gap? I nearly missed the sprint didn't realise it was on the last little kick, great ride.

Clearly eased off a bit much! I considered waiting for you but that wasn't necessary!

Well done @shimceltic and @Rod McG - convinced you've been doing off Strava training in the Dales / Cairngorms respectively. That was way more up and down than I expected.

I wish I'd been out! I wasn't expecting the double digit parts. I was expecting flattish 1st half then a stead 5% to finish!

@Rod McG bkool has gave you the win 🤬@Duckman I'm hoping I've set a time that overturned the gap for the month.....

They canceled my plane today because of fog, so now on Saturday I'll have a chance to make up the 46 minutes I need to take the lead.

We know the truth though!

Rare day with no rain tomorrow, so did the league ride today. Sorry for anybody who planned on drafting me. @shimceltic did you buy stock in a company that makes shifter cables? I haven't shifted that many times in 8 miles ever.

Aha! Something was going on yesterday as I saw no message from cyclechat, but was up to my arse clearing the additional snow and rain we received Wednesday night . All better now, and I will take a shot at a TT for yesterday's ride, and join on Saturday if you up for a rerun.

Be interested to see your TT time. Rod and I had a bit of draft but not too much and was a good battle.

@shimceltic Slow today 32ish', bit of recovery mode. That's a tough ass ride with all those little hills springing up.

Just seen your time, hell if an effort solo. I can't get the same intensity if I'm the only participant. Don't mind getting dropped from the group and ploughing on but racing ghosts is harder.

@shimceltic Ta! Yesterday's Dark and Stormy bevy slowed me a bit, better tomorrow hopefully. You crushed it though, like me probably limited by how scary the heart rate gets. The other day bumped 190 for a max, not sure I trust the reading though.

I did a 190 real ride very early into the ride. I couldn't then keep up with friends on a social ride and I attribute it to killing myself up the hill. Online now I want to stay under 180 as I don't want to be found dead in my garage in lycra
