how long we expecting this race to be, time wise

48-50 mins ish? It's 34km, mostly fast and flat ... I think if you're in a group galloping along then that's about right. It took Martin 22 mins for half that distance earlier - B's go faster I guess, so added a bit of time for us slow coaches in C

Anything under 49 minutes for me and I will be over the moon 😀

Afraid I won't make the race tonight - but good luck to everyone and I'm looking forward to the race report(s).

Fingers crossed should make start line! 30 sprint points up for grab so will be devastated if I get called away!

Tron bike for me tonight

We'll be thinking of you tonight @Del C and will definitely be missing your wheel. Desperately hoping one of the other lads gives me a helping hand tonight

Good luck in B

I was thinking Tron ..... but I do like to put the disc wheel on for bit of bling so currently have the Venge + 808/disc

Likewise - I had the Cannondale SystemSix and Zipp 808 fancy wheel. I like to see when I lose the draft.

I don't have the disc 😣

Oooo, I like that

No need to take any extra pressure for my support . I am a patient man and i can wait when team strategy (what ever it is) work .

New bike time!

I've been cheering myself up in these troubling times by building up a winter/gravel bike. Not sure when I'll get to ride it (and then only once a day!) as I've been having difficulty sourcing a gear hanger for it - it's a NS Bikes RAG+ frame. I've not been able to find any available in the UK but it looks like I've found one in Germany which I should receive next week.

I'll post some pics later when I've finished putting it together (bar the RD).

All ready and waiting for the gear hanger

Itching to get out and see how it performs on road and trails.

I'm going to swerve the last leugue crit race. Feel burnt out with a headache. Probably all the stress with the state of the world at the moment.

Don’t worry about them B ‘s I’ve got a replacement, already knows about aero gains

 

[mjd1988]

I meant to ask earlier, for a flat course if you want more resistance (to thrash your pedals) will changing the trainer difficulty help one way or the other?
