Last time I tried to use pace partners I was getting put onto the course in a random location thanks to a bug introduced when they added the new ones. Probably fixed by now?!

I've only ever had it bug out on me once. I appeared on the course and there was no group there. Restarted and it was fine.

Yeah, looking for a long ride that I haven't done yet but don't care about the distance as I've already 'ticked off' the 100-mile badge + the Alpe finish sounds interesting.

Have you done Ventop yet? I might have a crack at that one later. It's not "distance long" but 1500m climb.

No, not yet but that's a bit to short (time-wise) - around 2.5h at zone 2. Could do it 3 times

I've done it, lovely even pace climb. Long long climb, worse in real life.

Here is my negative split meander up Venpoop https://www.strava.com/activities/6460581347/analysis

Sub 2hr for you Pete/Alex. Its all down to weight or lack of for a big climb like that

Pace Partner rides up the Alpe are running later in the week.

That looks fun! Shame they don't have anything between 49 and 59 minutes. Already did the latter but not good enough to do a sub 50

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. I'm signed up for a sub-49 event but I think it'll be a question of how long I can hold on for. I'm hoping that the group is big enough that there's a decent drafting effect.

Yeah I just did it in just under 2hrs. Wasn't killing it - didn't fancy busting myself over it - wanted to make it to the top and collect my 1500m. 1% left of the Tron bike now. That's just one Innsbruck climb.

Look at Lee's time. Have a thought for those of us going on a cycling trip with Lee to Vercors this week :

 

[CXRAndy]

He could nearly climb two sides including a descent compared to a rider like me just getting to the top on my first attempt 😳

You should be going at the start of July to see the TDF

Who is going on your Berty tour?

Did a gentle hour with Coco Cadence to give my calf a bit of R&R, but I put in an effort for the sprint which earnt me a best 30s power (779W), and a further dig at the end which makes me think I’m destined never to get the 1200W badge (1154 for 5s, though). 🤪

I can't even get to 300W...

The Elite is quiet now, it's just the Bike

I fitted a decent Shimano chain today, it's now super smooth...
