What a nutter. I hope to do it single before going back to work. Won't be fast mind.

At least you’ve got recent experience of 12 hours in saddle on Zwift , couple more bags of jelly babies and you’ll be fine 😂.

A good one is a big block of Solid cake icing. Most bang for buck fuel ever.

I'll be there tonight - not sure how I'll fair. Hoping the competitiveness kicks in as the clock counts downOn paper this stage should be ok for me - little lumps just long enough to go with any attacks and hold on to the lead group .... so long as I don't get caught in any sticky drafts going up Piccadilly.
Attack point tonight, assuming you make it over Northumberland Ave lump before the laps start, are :
- Piccadilly ... but not just the climb, also the descent. A lot of people drop the power on the descent, but at the bottom, as you turn left from St James's St onto Pall Mall - but ... as you enter Pall Mall the incline kicks up briefly. Not for long, just a few hundred yards, but enough to get dropped if you don't up the power quick enough. My advice, as you're turning left after the descent then hit the power and keep it on until you're over the short lump.
- Just after the sprint on The Mall and leading up to Hyde Park corner. There is a little drag there of about 1%, not much, but if you're in the red after the sprint can feel worse. Don't drop wheels after the sprint, or if someone drops your wheel make them work to get back on
- A little climb on Birdcage Walk. Again not big, just a few hundred yards but I think it's about 3%. If later in the ride, and legs tired, watch for the attacks there.
I'll be watching our zombie friend Petersen, and looking out for any attacks from any B sandbaggers who might be able to pull me free from the crowdEdit: just checked ZP and don't see any powerful B sandbaggers, but I guess there could be some signed up who aren't on ZP
6 CCers in C tonight
Would it be too insane to friend Petersen just so I can see where he is? (Rhetorical)

You’d have to take a break every three hours to brush your teeth or they may rot before end of ride 😂
I've tried that .... he doesn't accept friend requests ..... all a bit suspect. But, he stays within the legal numbers so, I'll have to work hard to try and beat him again

If Petersen doesn’t accept friend request you can always said to Petersen that you will...so you are my friend nowI've tried that .... he doesn't accept friend requests ..... all a bit suspect. But, he stays within the legal numbers so, I'll have to work hard to try and beat him again

You can beat me tonight if I ride, pulled muscles trying to run. Plus I've bought some high end scales and since lock down put on a fair amount of weight.His profile is locked .... he doesn't let anyone see his profile

Did you see his finish last week? He just rolled over the line, no sprint, no upping of effort. He did have a big lead over the nearest rivalI've tried that .... he doesn't accept friend requests ..... all a bit suspect.

Very canny keeping his W/kg in cat C
Planning to be in D as well.
