My Video from last night's CCC race has finally uploaded and processed. Not the whole race. It starts just before the first KoM. I'd meant to stop it at the top, but got completely into the race and forgot. (I don't normally video races that matter as don't want to add extra load to the iPad).

Looking at my video last night Pete went over the first KOM with a 1.45.

My pb is 2.08, so I would have been off the back even with a new pb-bloody hills

I set a PB of 1:47 - that was on my limit, and it's a good time in C but sees me 2/3 - 3/4 down the field in B!

That last sprint really took it out of you. real shame you werent able to get over the climb after it with the leaders. Bloody good effort though

1:48 here at 5.14 W/kg (according to Strava segment). Good job it's only a 2 minute bash. Last night made me an "almost B" on ZP though.

Do you just screen record it on an iPad Alex?

I managed 1:24 on that last night but it was only good enough for second. The guy who beat me is 91kg but did 1:22 averaging 731 watts

Yes, but it generates huge files, so can clog things up a bit if you're not careful. So I tend to "top and tail" them with the YT app and upload, then delete source files ASAP.

I think you had the highest average power yesterday, Alex Welcome to the 'Almost B' club

[EDIT]: Strava suggests I did the segment @345W so just 5.07W/kg. But you will see I started at the back, sucked those wheels, then sprinted and actually let go when I knew I had it.

That's the guy with higher 1 minute power than MVDP

1.30 for me and dropped!

@Peter Salt you must be near B numbers?

STOP THAT AT ONCE - HE'S OURS!

Were you able to get back on, or left in no man land wilderness?

But you cant stunt the young pretender's prospects

There's such a shallow slope up there and such a big group that the drafting effect was huge. I went up at 394W (5.29W/kg) in 1:39. My PB up there was on a free ride; 490W (6.76W/kg) and that only got me a 1:36! We were bombing up the early part of the first Titans Grove climb at nearly 48km/h...

Yes all came together and same after the second climb

Definitely pretty much all came back together after the first climb but I think more were permanantely dropped after the second KOM, and it was a front group of around 20 that made it to the finish together
