Race recon for the Harrogate circuit. A rough course that you can lose the front group on almost instantly! Sprint and Kom fairly late in th lap so not really much for the bigger gents to do but try and smash climbs as hard as possible, supertuck, sit in and repeat. Warm up pretty important on this course.

Just noticed the TTT is the same course this week; that'll be a nightmare to keep together I'd have thought

@Ketty Are you 100% in the DBR league? Not sure I can commit to the whole league at the moment but happy to help you when I can make it. I should be able to make it tomorrow :okay: Anyone else in C?
I’m not sure @Whorty as my hip is really not good at present and I shouldn’t be putting it under that much strain. Might have to give the racing a wide berth for a week or two :blush:

No worries - I dropped out earlier too as shouldn't really be riding in the evening as it becomes too late to feed Rach and get her to bed in good time.

No point me going for a Cat C drubbing tonight as it would appear we have no riders! Cat D has a good number in tonight so I'll have a go there as I'm not sure I feel up to helping @<Tommy> out in Cat A :laugh:

I feel knackered and my chest has been bad for a few days but hopefully it won't affect me too much and I can get a good result. It's a pretty strong field for D so a podium isn't guaranteed.

Makes a change to have a challenging course and some challenging competitors! :hyper:

It's a deep field alright, I think you get points if you are in the top 60 or so, but over 80 have signed up in b group so it'll keep things interesting till the end!

Nobody oozing with confidence for tonight’s race then 😀 , well , I’m going to join in but cautiously, twisted my knee coming down one of the fells in the Lakes last week and it’s a bit tender . Common sense says don’t race but it was ok in a Crit City race yesterday , will ease off if needed.

I’m going to try and make the race tonight. Still marooned in cat A but I have a feeling I’ll see some of you guys soon enough! :B)

You get the change to beat your old BKOOL Nations Cup opponents Tom Fromling (Fromling) and Michael Nim (Nimbus). Go for it! :boxing:

Tempted to switch to a laptop (from ipad) for Zwifting, is Bluetooth or ant+ better/more consistent?

I use an ant plus dongle for laptop, does cut out very occasionally but much less since I got an extension for it, no experience with Bluetooth

Sorry I got home later than I’d hoped I would and I haven’t had time to join. I’m going to have to join something a bit later. Hope you all had a good race.

Power cut out near the top of the first incline. Annoyed. First time I've paired fenix rather than chest HRM so may be related to that.

5 a and a+ sandbaggers on that course will mean a fair bit of misery.

Might see if I can ride the league tomorrow.

I didn’t make it tonight (obviously). I’ve had too many days on the trot with no recovery. I’ll concentrate on the 3R Sundown races (tues) and Herd races on Saturdays for the foreseeable.
