Oi, don't go tempting riders away from the Handicap with your siren calls....

I have been thinking of trying a Handicap run at 7pm, as the 8pm numbers have not got anywhere near enough for a Team TT. When I did the survey earlier I found that most people preferred the 7pm slot, but could do 8pm, but just a few guys couldn't make 7pm so I left it at 8pm. I would really like to get the numbers up a bit so we could try a few TTT.

How about if I start the Handicap at 7pm tonight, as a trial?

Hi Geoff
i would to take part in the handicap race tonight whatever time it starts, not sure what my handicap time is, have done 2 stages although only one is showing, thanks

Splitter!!

Seems i might have bought an ant+ adapter....

Geoff, whats my handicap on the NEO? 30-50w disadvantage, possibly more?

Whatever watts you've lost, that neo's already paid for itself in excuses!

On a unrelated subject I've got the sniffles at the moment, just thought I'd mention it in case it effects your handicap algorithm @gbrown

I'm happy to start at 7 Geoff. Numbers seem to be down lately as you say so hopefully it makes the difference.

My times were generally 2 to 2.5 mins slower on my Kickr, If Geoff were to see his way to take off a couple of mins, you might be in with a chance

I cant do tonight, forced rest before stipulated FTP on TrainerRoad tomorrow, will pop in to stare and cheer

In a moment of rare sympathy (I have a KICKR) I have cut your handicap and started you earlier, so don't pay me back by winning by miles, time it so it's only a few seconds...

Sorry, Stephen, I thought I'd added you to this stage, I've given you a time now (8:45), enjoy!

 

[gbrown]

OK, hope it's not too late to change things and apologies to anyone it messes up, but I've been thinking of switching to 7pm for a while, as the majority seem to prefer it, so tonight's Handicap will start at 7PM (plus your allocated Start Time)!

Thanks, although it seems obvious to me now i need some practice in the 'excuse game' - going from 7:30 to 8:45 !

I'd better make sure I turn up now then!

Hi Geoff, I was hoping to have a go at the handicap race tonight at 7PM - is there a chance you could slot me in a start time?
Sorry for the late notice.

Ta Geoff
If I make it there is no chance of me winning at all let alone by miles.
