@Ketty Did you enjoy the ride yesterday, shame about the hr monitor but we live and learn.
Loved it mate. I didn’t realise but like I said on another post it’s here now and tested this afternoon. I’m starting to get some fitness back and FTP is up to 185 at present, from 150 in a week. Hardly ridden for 2 years but got the bit between my teeth now.

thanks for being so inclusive, hopefully I can start to move up and support you and @Joffey at the front, if you get back in CAT D!!

well done last night!

Watched Steen's DBR race 2. Some one mentioned was he OK. From the video, it looked like he burnt a lot of matches trying to hold onto lighter riders, managed burn out :training:

Cc meet up / spin / pootle / etc tonight. Not sure if @bridgy is joining us as he’s having turbo issues. But if not I’ll set it up for 17:30 or so. Thinking about it I’m not sure I’m friends with everyone on zwift so hopefully bridgy sorts it 😄

Anyone not on discord and wants to give it a try it’s a good place to iron out the creases so to speak. Last week we were lucky to be joined by @Add, who was producing all sorts of wierd and wonderful noises from his malfunctioning headset.
And special mention to @bobinski who completed at least 2/3 of the ride :highfive:

Other factors too:

1) Did a BKOOL handicap race earlier that afternoon. @keithaitch 's fault. :laugh:
2) Left the dinner table 30 minutes before race start. HID's fault. :laugh:
3) Messed up the start by not getting enough watts "in the pedals" before start. My fault! :banghead:
4) Usually DBR league races only award point for the first 30 riders - i.e. no point fighting when you are already at around position 60+ going up a KoM. Next time read up on THIS league's points rules (first 60 riders gets extra points).! My fault! :banghead:

I had also assumed points for first 30 finishes, but glad to see my 49th place counted for something!

At first glance it looks like the top three in B Cat might already be decided, but there aren't many results in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th placed teams - by the tortoise and the hare logic we might have a chance. We have posted the second highest number of results, so if we keep the fire burning we might be able to get onto that team podium - especially considering we can scoop up points for anything in top 60!
