It's worth watching just to re-live the banter during the pre-race roll out .The other riders in the actual, normal race must have wondered what the hell was going on!!

My email said that they would automatically enter me for the 2021 tour but no date has been decided.
There was a link you could go to and I guess that’s a link to apply for the refund but I need to have a look.

Yes the great unwashed are only allowed a free entry for 2021- dates TBA


secret link to refund send paypal payment to me £25

Lonely ride after 30 mins

Just noticed that Cycling Weekly are running a weekly Club 10 TT on Wednesdays at 6pm. We wouldn't be able to set off in 30 second intervals but if might take the organising out of it? Just an idea (and trying to save people work lol).

What course do they use...?

I'm in it for 6 mins...

Tonight it's Tempus Fugit but they say they will be changing it weekly to suit a variety of riders.

Don’t be so modest 😂
In fairness there wasn’t too much organising to do other than share a race link and cajole people into riding.
Are we planning on Wednesday 29th July for the TT?
Everyone is welcome even if they couldn’t take part tonight. We will find a suitable starting position based on ability / here say / toss of a coin 😇

Hopefully I will be able to take part in the next one. Work says they are unlikely to need me back in the office until at least the 3rd August now, so here's hoping.

And my start time for any handicap race should be easy to work out - I'll just start at the same time as @Joffey does, as we normally end up with fairly similar power outputs for most of the races we've done in the past.

Kind of, but a good workout. And seeing @peterob just ahead gave me a reason to keep pushing on. Once I grabbed his wheel I gained from the extra speed

I'm always terrified if I try and record a race it will overwhelm my crappy old laptop, always glad someone else does though!

Not sure why I attacked up the little ramp into the volcano near the start. Not sure what my plan was there!

Happy with power output on reflection; 303 watts average for the 20 mins I did (albeit I only really did 20 mins effort total)

Anyone know a secret store that has the neo smart bike in stock 🤨

Sigma Sports say back in stock 31 July if that's any good

Genuine question here, what are the benefits of a smart bike over a direct drive turbo and dedicated trainer bike?

One that I see is easier/quicker customisation if it shared between members of a household for example, but what else?

I am not sure there are any except perhaps avoiding wear and tear on your own bike? Especially if you can’t have a dedicated turbo bike.
you do need a permanent space for it. NEO bike is very heavy. Mines on a mat so I can slide it across the room.

Nothing maybe an extra tablet holder. Yes they are custom shifters for various bikes
