I think we all took a breather when needed. I eased off too soon at the end, not sure I could have kept going till the end anyway.

Not enough of a breather for this old fart. Great getting a bit of a draft though and keeping my hopes alive till I started banging 175 + bpm a bit more than I prefer. Narrowing the gap a wee bit over the last few months I think, onwards!

Breather or not that was pretty much as fast as I could go!

I hit 183. The Strava segment shows me with a 2s win... I'll be making sure I contact the court of arbitration of bkool take it off me.

I've noticed Strava seems to take 4 or 5 watts a ride off me compared with bkool so I guess that's where the 2 secs goes too.

@shimceltic I can max high 80s but as you said a while ago I'd hate to be found doa in my licra next to play bike. Trying to get faster with improved form over guts if possible.

That will be the warm up....

Ditto here, sometimes even a bit more.

@Brusgaard good tip on codecs the other day. Still a bit of dropouts near end of rides with big speed differential recording vs riding g. Added AV1 codec this morning seems good so far.

Cider in the bidon?

When I'm not getting thrashed by you guys I'm out on the tele skis trying to get sunny vitamins.

Like that plan, perhaps a blend of my new drink I made up last night. Ginger beer, blood orange liqueur, and apple based vodka. Refreshing, and I won't care about any of those numbers on the screen.

I'll miss the next 2 Thursdays, as I'm off to the Alps for some steep skiing. Enjoy!

Sounds like you all had a good one tonight , I couldn’t make it tonight but wouldn’t mind being involved a bit more 🤞

Missed you, was a flattish stage and we managed to stay together for a bit! Another body or 2 always helps

@Rod McG Where you going to go? Bavarian beer is good and tasty, but all the Alps are great in my book.
