Couldn’t do the ride tonight but dipped in to see some good riding. A good bunch kept together for a good portion of the climb by the looks of it.

I’m planning on been there for the Thursday re-run.

I missed you Pete. Needed your help to try and reel in Kipster who destroyed me on the climbs tonight.

It was my pleasure

you guys really wanted to get things wrapped up for the bake off final!

1.03.39 for me. Did my best to hang on up the mountain (thanks for the tow @BurningLegs - altho having your username in my face when I was dying was a bit too on the nose!) altho I knew it wouldn't last as heart rate was at max for aaages. New pbpb FTP (post baby pb) increased by 10 so feel it was worth it.
im sure deep down I knew the radio tower was coming but mentally it destroyed me. Even before Chris danced past at 6 w/kg like Marco pantani!

great work out, definitely feel I'm getting back some fitness, but still a way to go.

I enjoyed riding with you. I was trying to build a group to go over the top with to try and get drafting benefits and pull away from @Whorty but ended up descending on my own.

I love that phrase - PBPB! I'm in a very similar place - my boy is two now, but I did very little riding last year and still working back to peak. Doubt I will get there to be honest, so PBPB is a nice way to think about it.

It sounds like it was a good old ding dong tonight!

I thought you might get on my wheel as I reached you, but wasn't sure how much you had left in the tank. I was suffering tonight, but actually set a PB up the KoM and a PB for that full course.

Well done C's - a great battle this month

What was your time in the end tonight? I was 22 secs faster so you must have knocked off a good 3+ minutes on Sunday 👍

58.40 for me @peterob

Great ride up the KoM with @kipster and @Add but just lost their wheel at the castle at the top of the first part of the climb and couldn’t quite close the gap.

Nearly caught Adam at the top of the radio tower, but he lost me on the descent until I finally caught him at the end of the descent off the KoM.

We swapped messages to confirm we both felt knackered, and then rode together to the end.

Great ride!

59:01 tonight, so significantly quicker! It felt quicker, but not by that much.

Enjoyed it too Del. I was totally smoked when you caught me mate, I was trying to keep the gap between us but you were too strong in the end.

I had one eye on @BurningLegs who was about 20 seconds behind us for the last 3 to 4 miles.

We were saying we were tired and he was posting stuff like ‘Hup hup hup’.

We managed to stay away but he was haunting us all the way to the line!
