Absolutely. Let’s smash it up the aqueduct and then try and get away to get a lead for KOM?For those racing tonight the points are I think we are still only getting points for the KoMs and not the sprints. If I'm reading it correctly it's
- Aquatic KoM
- Petit KoM
- Finish sprint/final banner
In C cat the current leader can't make it tonight. The chap who pipped me on the aqueduct KoM last week is also absent. Wish I'm known that before I destroyed myself on Mont Ventoux yesterday
@Ketty Tim - we going for glory tonight? Or ... more realistically, hang on for the first 12km of flat, try to get over the KoMs as fast as possible and hope I get some points and manage to hang on to the main group.

I’ve updated the meet up time for the race to tomorrow evening. Only 10 signed up so far. Everyone who can make it please accept the invite.
@Ketty and @Joffey had declined the original invite - if you can make tomorrow please accept.
Good luck everyone racing tonight - Remember to go hard and go deep (in cycling terms) - we will go easy on you tomorrow. 😁

I didn’t make the start line this evening, despite getting on the bike 25mins before the start and beginning a gentle warmup. Got a panicked phone call and had to rush back in for childcare duties. Not sure if I’m going to roll round, do a different race, or just quit for the evening...

Her indoors keeps booking tables for the Eat out help scheme thing so I'm snookered again.
It's getting annoying now as I'm usually tired after work and can't enjoy it as much.
I've also noted restaurants can't cope and look stressed out which deflects onto their customers at times.
I'm in the Wednesday race.
Bit of a late reply - and you know the answer now anyway- but yes I am! Couldn't quite deliver the win you were talking me up for in the start pen though!
It was a fast race in the Bs - looking at the ZP results tge B cat winner would have won A cat, and my time for 9th place in B would have got 6th in A. I know races don't actually work like that but it's not often you see that anyway.
It was all about the Petit KOM climb really- I just lost the wheels of the front few at the end of the climb- went to the end in a group of three and came second in our sprint for the line - thanks for the tip about activating powerups on ATV @iris- that really helped this time!
So there we go, there's my excuse in the bank for tomorrow

Gah felt off the pace today. One minute power was good but overall numbers well in C for second race in a row.
Surfing the back of the back up until about a km from the aquaduct and realised I had to do something so did a sprint to the front then timed it well from there and almost took it. As it is I'm 2nd on that so I'll have some points to show for it but I was cooked after that effort. Usually recover much better but the climb was very draining and just wrecked.
Well rest of B team who all looked a lot stronger than me. Think I need to stop racing for a bit and do some zone 2 and or structured sweetspot work or something or I'll keep sliding. Got a mini break on the west coast of Ireland so might pootle to achill island if the rain isn't too bad
@IrishAl there was no Coleman today so would have been wide open for you
