Rpm’s as high as I could the whole way but only a gain of 20 seconds.
Anybody doing it at 5?

This month's climbing route tonight! Get your lightweight gear ready to conquer Coll de Lilla!

It is one long drag uphill the first 8.9 km, then about 6 km of downhill/flat before we finish with a 1 km (comfortable) climb...
Estimated ride duration is 40-45 minutes.

Warm up starts at 6 PM UK.

Or for me 1 hour 45.
One of those days I'm happy I have to go to work.

That's 7% too much....

That's 7% too much....

Some would argue that 6 km downhill on a climbing stage is too much.

 

[Randyberlin]

No argument here. Thanks again for organizing these.

Gonna be hard to stay together and draft on an uphill. Should be fun!

Good ride folks - the league summary didn't mention anything about that brutal downhill in a climby route though. Sneaky!

 

[shimceltic]

That was tough. Interesting to see average watts lowest to highest from 1st place down, I need to drop 10kg!

I'm not Keith - so don't expect any long climbs at 10%+ where the lightweights can win by 10 minutes. 2-3 minutes is OK and within range on a downhill+a flat stage, at least if we can drop the lightweights from the draft/group.

I was at 90+ rpm downhill and barely above 200w
