The wine will be HID going on about the steak I bought.
I had a bit of a slip on Saturday night so I am being very good for at least two weeks.

Did WC Stage 8 and 9 again tonite as a bit of training for Jacobs Cup in the same order as last we, Qatar first and then that damn climb.
- I needed to do the Qatar Stage as I didn't save it last time.
- I was hanging onto coat tails last time as well and my turbo maintenance may have fixed an issue.
- Went spheres out from the start and was in the lead, for a while, until I was caught by MikMak and Jacob
- I felt I needed a 52/11 to stay with them so I kept going at my own pace.
- For all my efforts I reckon I improved my time by only 20 seconds and spent nearly all the stage in the wind.
- That blimming climbing stage was just as hard second time around but I did knock a minute off of my time.
- I will have to try it with fresh legs one day but I still don't think I would stay with the leaders.
- I almost gave up about 4 times which may be evident when the ride lands (if it lands).
- I lost a lot of time to the leaders in a dead stop when the 10% started.
- If I get desperate for some GC minutes I will have a better go at it.
Great ride from you too Paul. To be fair I probably didn't do my share at the front in the second half as I was struggling, but looks like it helped me at the end. Your ghost and DP's still came past me though and made it stick. Moved up a few places though

Same setup as yesterday, even same warm up, but already during the warm up i knew it was going to be an entirely different kind of ride.
Knocked 40 seconds of my previous time so I'm pretty satisfied with that.
Your form is peaking just in time for the Nations Cup Bill!Great ride from you too Paul.

Has any date been set for that yet ?
I guess the brits will be all Cyclechats so don't know if I should cheer the danes or the brits
Decided to have a little look at Zwift, after an update I still had 25 km free trial. So did 20 mins, the power was bang on with feel from the onset. Within a few hundred yards I hit a hill climb section, I thought I would have a go at spinning up at a reasonable pace, I came somewhere in the 70s ranking, even without a warm up, some 3.5 minutes slower than first place.
I'm sold on it as a platform, my subscription will start when I get back from Tenerife.

20 seconds off for me. I think we could do better if we had a few days off first but riding yesterday won't have helped.
