I think 11:30 is possible now that I know when to start the sprint ;-)
But I don't give it a go again until one of you guys have beaten it ;-0

I'm waiting until my asthma has cleared up before I try another fast time.
My times have been off for about two months which coincides with when I ran out of drugs but thought I better get it sorted out before the Nations Cup.
I'm looking forward to riding with 'open' lungs for once and I may then be able to give you a run for your money (at least on a short flat course)!
Who says can't fly!

I hope you have a TUE for that "asthma treatment"....

Team Cyclechat are looking good in the WC update. 5 in the top 20...

Fantastic

Fantastic

And 4 in the top 8
I have a ride in hand, my failed to save Stage 9 (why didn't stage 8 fail where I lost minutes), and the slowest ride was 37 minutes.
I know I can make 12 (if DP gives me a tow) so that would put me 4 minutes of Tommy R on his go fast uphill classic.

If what I found wrong with my turbo today makes a difference I might try stage 6 again as sucked at that as well.

I drink steroids for breakfast, dinner and tea plus a few more at NAAFI breaks which is why I am such an Adonis (not).

I can hear calls of TUE fowl there as well Bridgy

Did you reset the firmware?
Edit. I also found stage 6 really tough and found others flew past me up the hills even though I put out some silly watts.

Are 'TUE fowl' the same as Lidl Chickens?

Typo

Anyway I wouldn't know as I don't shop in Lidl, HID might but not me, but I think she shops in Sainsbury, are they the one with the orange bags? I noticed her bringing some in when the delivery arrives.

Not reset the FW, not sure how to do that, I was just going to load BSim from the website again.
The little black plain bearing that the nose of the stepper motor spindle sits in at the front of the turbo was missing, don't know why, which was allowing magnets migrate outwards and the further the magnets travelled the more they moved out. Not a lot but perhaps enough to eat some watts.
I was checking my magnets and carrier for security when I found it.
Lucky I had a spare from my classic.

I checked my BB and back wheel bearings for freedom of movement (I have changed them both in the last three weeks) and they where nice and smooth so its either that missing bearing, BSim or me that is effecting my results.

Whow, Berty you sneaked up the WC rankings. Looks like Bkooling has really payed off for you .

 

[Goldwolfie]

Sorry Geoff - won't be around for the TTT this evening as I'm off to the footie.

 

[CXRAndy]

Which month does the WC finish? I'm hoping to start again after the end of this month-if there is time left! Ive got to do stage 4 and onward, at least I will have lots of ghosts to follow

EDIT WC ends 8th April, plenty of time, Yay!

Sorry Geoff - i have just been appointed taxi driver at around 5.00 this evening, i too will not be able to make it

@BILL S, let's give up on the idea of a Saturday TTT and just stick to Tuesday, as it's doesn't seem there will be enough people to make it worthwhile.

Could you do a WC stage?
