Doncha just love the sticky draft?!?
3 of us powered through the second tome and 3 got stuck. We had to slow. Happened last week and team were disqualified. May happen again.

The D(ream) Team
@Ketty @steverob @JLaw @Aleman @Spartak
Are we going to have another go on Discord tonight? For those who didn't race last time I think we are the Blue Channel?
I was thinking about the start too - I missed it last time and with us having a few more riders shall we ease out of the blocks, get in a tidy group and then accelerate on? Open to any suggestions!
We also have no @Marino.g this time - Marino was one of our final 3 riders 2 weeks ago which will mean we'll have to be careful on that last climb and not split the group. Maybe try and get at least 4 over that together and then recover then push on really hard? @Ketty might need to control that final climb and have his camera in 'reverse' view to make sure he's not dropping anyone and to keep the team together.
Maybe get 6 over the first climb, aim to get 4 over the second and see where we go?
Anyway, don't want to make it too complicated but hopefully we can win it this time!!!

Thought I should repost the rules we agreed last time as a reminder and for our two new riders - @JLaw and @Spartak
Times as follows for the teams:
D @ 19:00
C @ 19:03
B @ 19:05
A @ 19:07 and 30 seconds (if they only have 5 riders this becomes 19:07)
We'll race from the Meet Up spawn point rather than the first time we pass under the start/finish arch (about 0.4 to 0.5 kms down the road). The race finishes when we pass under under the start/finish arch the second time.
Every team finishes their race when their 3rd fastest rider crosses the line. Hopefully, it will be clear on the screen what the finishing order is, but if there is any dispute, we''ll use this Strava segment to decide the finishing order, based on the time of the 3rd fastest rider for each team
https://www.strava.com/segments/12118421?filter=overall
Note that this segment starts and finishes at the arch, so there is a slight discrepancy here, but its the best I can do!
If a team is about to be overtaken, they must yield and not try to tag on to the overtaking team. The overtaken team have to allow the overtaking team to pass and get enough of a gap so that they can't be drafted. Once that is done, the overtaken team can push on again.
This rule applies until the final sprint point about 2kms from the finishing line. From there, no yielding is required and both teams may ride head to head.
Discord channels are as follows:
A team: CC-TTT-Yellow
B team: CC-TTT-Red
C team: CC-TTT-Green
D team: CC-TTT-Blue
Enjoy!
And let the banter commence!!
