Which time zone are you in @Del C ? Just wondering if (when) we seal promotion could we be racing you next season.
We have a 26 point lead over 2nd place, and 28 over 3rd. So if my maths is correct we could seal the league title by finishing in the top 5 on Tuesday. Thats a big ask though as the teams in 2nd to 5th are locked in a battle for that second promotion place so they’ll be going all out for it. Also as a team we haven’t hit heights in the scratch races and it’s been our TTT performances that have really defined our season.

Didn’t we finish top of the team ratings in some of the scratch races too? I think I finished in the top 10 for both the races I was in but I might have that wrong.

I think one race 4 of us were top 30?

Your right T. I think i was letting the last race result fog my memory. Race 1 opening qualifier got us max points, race 3 Richmond race we won, and even though race 5 Everything Bagel was tough we did get 2nd. France was our lowest point finishing 10th. Were better than I gave us credit for! 🤭

Just noticed it now you have brought it up.

"No Excuses" - ha, with the excuses destroyer (aka Tommy) in our team, that is a good one

I did the same thing. After every scratch race I’ve been a bit hard on myself about my result, and I’ve felt much more positive about the team TT. It was only when I buggered my leg up I looked back and thought I should be more happy with it than I am. But the team event is defo where we’ve shown our strength in depth. I can only assume we’ve got a much stronger team than the others. But also that the difference between us is marginal which is a big advantage as I see other teams on the road shelling riders early doors. Where we’ve really dug in race after race.

Thanks Joffey. It was a bit of simple photoshop mix on an iPad- found an picture of. Chainring, a cat (after a mis-type when entering our team name) and added in the CycleChat colours.

We will need a new strap line next season as the “no excuses” line has been debunked this season with a couple of cases of mild to moderate illness, repeated technical issues and an infamous dodgy knee which itself was selfscored a whopping +3/10

If it went to a committee of members I reckon it would be a lot lower than 3/10 for the knee

I know we have a few CycleChatter's in Tier 3 so I just thought I'd let you know I had a terrible time at the Black Sheep Brewery this afternoon. And if you had to spend 2 hours with my mother you'd wish there was a Tier 4

When you say 'simple' and 'photoshop' I worry that it's not something I could cope with!! I have a tattoo that needs sorting, I think you could do the design I need with your skills....

Not Zwift related but....

Another 5K run this morning, my year to date total is now 356 kms well over my target of 250 kms...

Longest run to date is 12km ( which when I first started out I thought I'd NEVER reach ).
My new year target will be to run a 20K ( Half marathon ) in under 2 & 1/2 hours... 😳

I'm concerned that shortly you are going to tell us you have been swimming... then wearing vests... at which point we are going to have to block you from our lives...

(Well done mate, that's fantastic - I'm too fat to run so I am very impressed )
