Am I allowed to enter my time Bridgy? I didn’t draft at all I promise, but understand if it can’t be accepted.

Well seeing as you say you didn't draft - and of course I believe you! - then you actually would have had a disadvantage with a normal bike so in my opinion it's fine to use your time if no one else objects

37.13 for me.

That was brutal, but fun in a weird sort of way

 

[bridgy]

38..49 for me please a new personal record

You had all that hassle with the car AND you did the TT! You really have had a bad day

 

[Del C]

Couldn’t stay with you on that last little climb @Del C. But you knew that didn’t you great ride all was tough. 37.17 for me @peterob.

I thought you were gone when you dropped me heading to the Underground tunnel, but then I started to pull you back through Richmond Park.

I gave it a kick on the hill up to Trafalgar Square and suddenly there was a gap. Then I felt obliged to keep working because of the gap! Then I had to keep working because I could see @Brusgaard and @Add just ahead of me!!

The last 2 rides we've been almost glued together. Good fun!!

35.04 for me truely horrible

could not have said it better myself!

Well all three of you could have gone a little bit slower if you wanted you know

These are the times I have found/been given. Let me know if any are wrong or I'm missing any (@Marino.g - I saw you on the road and don't have a time for you).

6 minutes down on my best time for that segment. I guess I must have been in a big group race for that one!

I think it's going to be mighty close between me, Lee and Tommy when you put those times into the spreadsheet. Well do to Alan for further stretching his lead though

I found something the last couple of miles and I gained on you guys so quickly that I thought there was a good chance I’d reach you by the line. But fair play mate. You really showed some heart at the end there and completely bossed it 💪!

I don't know about bossed it, I was hanging on for dear life at the end! You seemed to appear from nowhere - one minute you were 25 seconds behind and the next about 3 seconds! Looking at your ride on strava you really increased your power in the last 5k, so you must have measured your effort really well

you bossed it mate👍

To be honest I got a little lucky. I thought the hill in the middle was going to be longer so I had a bit left after we got passed it. I’ve got a feeling Lee isn’t going to take that one lying down either! Anyone for another flat one next week?

That was a great race by everyone. I was under pressure in the first quarter and didn’t think I was going to close the gap to @Brusgaard, @berty bassett or @bridgy. Managed to keep the power up and then big kick on the escalator coming back into London gave me a few seconds advantage and grew it from there. I’m looking forward to the next race where I can draft the life out of ye!

Looks like you beat me Del, I thought I had you beat. I could see a couple of you only a few seconds behind, and was dying trying to hold you back.

I'm sure I came in behind you, so it must have been down to where we were when the Strava segment started.
