17:14 for me please, couldn’t have gone any faster today.

 

[bridgy]

I am genuinely thinking of having another go at that (not tonight!) and trying to pace it better - think I went out too hard on the first attempt

Blooming cold here In my loft so might be wearing bib tights to look after the legs.
Using 6 pm to warm up

Blooming boiling in my loft, wife’s been working at home with central heating on all day .

Id like another go too. My legs are always dead after work at the moment. Can we all do it together at some point over the weekend?

 

[bobinski]

I would like another go too. Want to get under 17 min.
mid afternoon Saturday?

me To please

I’m more likely to have another go on Sunday. I’ve got quite a lot to do on Saturday. I don’t mind if I’m on my own though.

Bridgy I’d be interested in a side by side comparison of our rides tonight considering we were so close in time and there was no drafting.

There can’t be more than 10 seconds between us in the league can there? Crazy

Its quite awkward to view Tommy. You and Paul need to make private your PB from earlier in the year, so current results become listed then you can compare today's rides-i think!

This shows it best I think - with my slower time tonight as the baseline, you in light blue, me in purple. I was ahead of you from the start, gradually increased the lead then you closed the gap right up towards the end as I started to crack!

It looks like I gained the most amount of time back on you at a time where you were also gaining time on your slower self but at a slower rate? I have a feeling that’s around the tunnel as I really pushed hard there and it sounds like you were tiring at a faster rate than me. After that there was never more than a second or two in it by the looks of things. We both took a little dip while we recovered. Is that bit right at the end part of the segment we used or from the meet up as a whole? I thought I’d pushed all the way over the line but maybe I didn’t.

You did 320w to my 325w. I was wondering if I could see the difference our differing heights make because our times were so close. But looking at the graph you put up, it’s difficult to make any conclusions because we clearly put the power down at different places. It’s all very marginal isn’t it!

Very marginal yeah! That is just the segment not the whole ride. I'm not sure whether I upped the pace just at the end or you backed off a bit
