Well done all. Escpecially Lars and Andy.
Lars if you don’t want to pay a dentist come to London and I’ll happily have a go at your teeth

Well done guys - @berty bassett and I had a right good tussle - how did your races go?
Fantastic! No, nothing more to do for now - I'll make sure you get the next invite and then you can join the race as everyone did today
Another schoolboy error - didn't go out fast enough again and got caught in nomansland. Had a good little session with @Whorty and @bobinski. Saw the group ahead but over a minute and couldn't make any inroads.
Me and Bob went pretty much to the line. Looked like he was doing intervals - kept seeing 4-5W for a few seconds followed by 1-2W ???
Still, good fun.

Well @berty bassett and I had a good old tussle - hope everyone else had a good race?!
We'll use the strava segment called "Road to Ruins Forward (Zwift Insider verified)" - it might be a hidden segment as it was for me. My time was 44.40 - https://www.strava.com/activities/2182302010/segments/55071877020

Great ride all
Norry you bugger! Nicely time sprint
Left me wallowing in treacle.

Left me wallowing in treacle.Given that I'll be talking for roughly half the meeting, that seemed inadvisable :-)Booo .... cancel the meeting. Or Skype in but best turn the camera off

Right spd kept unclipping and then wouldn’t clip back in - will sort that tomorrow.
Manage to stay with Lars and Tommy after I caught them in the ruins.
Held on for dear life on the climb out.
I think they were kind and waited for the fatty.
Good early sprint Tommy, caught me out, blew up trying to chase down an aero powerup .
.To you too Lars

Kudos for dragging your ass over that hill Andy. I saw you were just a few seconds back after the top, so thought we would be better off with a group of three.Manage to Stay with Lars and Tommy after I caught them in ruins.

Paul and Lee got a minute on us on the hill, but we managed to keep inside one minute for a long time.
Tommy, haven't you been off the bike for a long time? I thought you would blow up at that hill, but you kept going.
Since I couldn't make the group ride, I signed up for the 3R race which started about 45 minutes earlier. Like other races over the last week it felt like I was always on the verge of getting dropped from the group. Thankfully it was a large group and even when we strung out we usually bunched back up. I made a conscious effort to avoid sitting in behind the one rider that kept bouncing in/out :-)
I'm not supposed to be sprinting for a few more days, but I made a half-hearted go at it about 350M out, definitely too early as even with the aero power-up I ran out of gas before the finish line and I think one of the C riders caught me for a tie out of our little group. Certainly didn't feel like I had anywhere near the top end power or stamina that I've had in the past.
I didn't realize it until I got a message on strava that one of the riders in the group was Jonathan Earl, a fellow Zwift splitter. We finished #1 and #2 for the D riders. So a good showing for team cyclechat today. Next time I'll keep an eye out and we can work together rather than at cross purposes... :-)
Even though I felt on the verge of being dropped repeatedly through the race, I turned in my best best power since the ZA rides last fall (before my second embolism). Definitely encouraging.
