I wish I had that problem, 4w/kg for me is near enough 400w.

Same here, that's like max 5 minutes effort

Im expecting you lightweights not to post silly times, so I dont feel inadequate has a cyclist

I am waiting for Dean or Berty to post a fast one and then to have to go after it. My bkool ride was an aberration- how could I be so much faster than most of the others including the lightweights? - and I expect RGT to be more indicative of real power and above all, stamina

i think me n Dean are waiting for a bobinski to show his hand
whos gonna crack first
if no- ones done it by weds i will have a crack
down Loondon again tomorrow for another game of i spy tt or bob

Darren, Your stats suggest you easily one of strongest riders here. If you can get into lead group at beginning of rides then you are going to be at least B and possibly A. 5 mins behind A group 1st place and pushing out 10w plus for 15 seconds!

HANG ON A MINUTE: YOU ARE WAITING FOR AN OLDER, HEAVIER BOBINSKI TO SHOW HIS HAND BEFORE GIVING IT A GO?!? SHAME ON YOU BERTY!



You wont find TT-he is all ninja like in black on a black bike Loads of them in North London.

Me, I am thinking of this:

 

[berty bassett]

pink bike and beard then ? - if you dyed beard pink as well it may make it a little easier to find you - though i may shout a little quieter
would do it today but bound to get it wrong somehow - and would you believe my knee is twinging a bit

 

[CXRAndy]

Carl would suit a pink beard and bike

I always wanted a planet x sl pro in pink and so, depending on what Giant say about my frame , this may be a possible replacement especially at 20% off at the moment. It may not give me the absolute performance a caad12 or similar will give but its pink! Though not at full price.

Good frames those Viners I have the Mitus 0.6 super light.
I'll be doing the vonteux ride a bit later.

I tryed RGT but by God it's tough only managed around 7km till I've got my turbo bike back on the trainer I'm not doing that again .

Hopefully I'll be getting it back on tomorrow when a new BB comes as at the moment it's creaking like hell

 

[JLaw]

think i will try a race at C and see what happens - definitely cant keep up with B on flats or downhill

ISTM that general advice for a climber would apply to you. You want to punish the heavier riders on the climbs and tuck into the draft when not climbing. The heavier riders are going to want to do the opposite and beat you up on the flats. I'd expect your best results to occur on courses that include the Epic KOM in Watopia, or 3 Sisters if any races start using it.

The w/kg group limits add an additional wrinkle in that if you go over you get dq'd. So you want to be tucked into the draft under the w/kg limits anytime you're in the flats, leaving yourself some wiggle room on the w/kg to create gaps on the climbs.
