There are a couple of sprint segments on the route too, but don't think we are too bothered about those?!

I keep most of my Zwift rides private on Strava, but in October 2020 I set my PB of 2:07 on the KOM Forward - probably a few fractions of a second quicker than @mjd1988

Guys, really sorry to let you all know at such short notice but...

I am well up for tomorrow and looking forward to skewering a good few of you!


Anyone want to let me know I am on their target list for tomorrow? Shout out to @bridgy @Ketty and @mjd1988 - I am going to be targeting you!!

I’m flattered

@bridgy I don't think I'll make it tomorrow

Thanks for the invite. I'll try to make next week as I'd like to ride with you guys again.

I've followed @Norry1 's example and I've been following a coaching programme. Right now, I'm in a sort of Zone 2 hell. The latest instalments were 2 hours on Saturday on Big Foot Hills and yesterday 3 hours riding riding along a rolling route in a really blustery wind. I chose the steel winter bike with mudguards for that - not the best option!

I'm supposed to keep my cadence above 90. Pretty much there on Saturday, nowhere near it yesterday as I died in the last hour as the wind picked up!

I also get to do some crazy core strengthening exercises, many of which seem to involve me falling off an inflatable, pilates balance ball!

I've taken today off as my legs said no to the next 2 hours of Zone 2 fun, but I'll be back out there tomorrow.......... and every day for the rest of this week

No @<Tommy> or @peterob tomorrow? 🤔

 

[Legs]

I might be able to make it after all... I’ll see if I can arrange something with Mrs Legs...

I should be fine. Although as avid followers of my Strava feed may note, I only got home about half an hour ago tonight. If work is the same tomorrow I might not make it.

But... I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict that someone could get a maiden win tomorrow. It could easily be you or Michael I think Nick. Pistol Pete will fancy his chances of course. But then Bridgy has been flying lately. It should be interesting! 🍿

Upcoming event with some great prizes if anyone is interested. The Monday morning race rules me out but if anyone if going to go for any of the jersey prizes could maybe help

Thanks for re-confirming for me why I don't want to break the habit of a lifetime and follow any sort of coaching programme!

Having said that, do let us know how you get on and what kind of improvements you see at the end of it
