Sounds good that Bob! My mate is doing it this year but I'm pencilled in for 2022 once the Covid madness has calmed down. Enjoy it mate!

Not sure I could cope with the disappointment of another cancelled cycling event if it doesn't go ahead! Fingers crossed though Bob 🤞
Dragon Ride has also been postponed now until September 26th but unfortunately I probably won’t be available for that.
I’ve had to defer it for June 2022 .

Yer I got my cancellation email for that yesterday aswell. Gutted for some silly reason I thought that may go ahead still.
I am now using the same weekend to do a gravel ride around the King Alfred Way, 220miles over 3 days off road. 2 premier inns booked along the way. Something to aim for 😀

Holding out hope for you @bobinski that by September things will have sorted themselves out enough to enable travel and events like this to go ahead. I've got a trip for a cycling event about a month before that (admittedly it's in the UK though, so travel is less of a worry) but I'm still not convinced whether it will go ahead - the organisers seem pretty optimistic though and I certainly to want to go, I just have to be positive I guess!

A few of us are thinking of doing the King Alfred Way. Looks great.

yer looking foward to it, we did toy with the idea of doing it properly and camping it, but the temptation of a shower and bed took over

Nice to race with you this evening @Joffey and @Brusgaard
I got a bit excited to see @Spartak in pen B, but I think you were watching/recording Ian?
We missed you @mjd1988 but to be honest you didn’t miss a particularly exciting course. Four sprints but only two meant anything (didn’t know that until afterwards though).

Yeah, I didn’t read the points system beforehand, and crossed as 6th on Lap 1 (2nd passage), wondering why no one sprinted. Next lap I just stayed at the back, but apparently that one counted and before I realized that, I was dropped...

Yeah sorry working a bit late and couldn't make it into the pens in time
Ditto - I enjoyed it last night. Sadly no FTP upgrades but did score a new best of 3.5w/kg for the race which was an average of 328 watts. Might try the diet again for the rest of the month and try and shift a bit of weight to get me up to 3.7, I might be a bit more competitive around that level.
I was hoping to try and join you buys in B last night but I'd put some stuff of Rach's on ebay (wheelchair, walkers etc) and the guy came to collect them at half 7 so had to miss out on the fun. Maybe next week ....
Excellent ride again for you Joffey. B suits you it seems!

Some impressive power figures last night... 👍

I’m using the Tour of Watopia events to rack up a fistful of XP and climbing metres. But since I’m not really that fussed about my finishing position I’m targeting power bests as well. Managed to turn out 565w over 1 minute this morning (it was much better over 55 seconds!). I think I’m going for 15s next time...
