Did the club 50:50 ride last night. It's part off-road, part road. Good fun. Starts and ends at a pub. One guy had an eMTB.
Wasn't gonna let him get away, so I drafted him up the final (only) hill. When he turned round he was surprised to see me still there. Nobody else tried. Was very funny.
Oooh you accept Emtb 👍

Certainly on the semi-off-road rides. I haven't seen an ebike on a traditional group ride (yet) but there is no rule saying you can't. Personally, I can't see an issue with it as long as the rider stays within the club ride protocol. They'd certainly suffer on the faster rides though if their e-assist was cutting off at 15.5mph

New hoops arrived, also got my hands on slightly knobbier rubber.
I think the clubs around me accept e-bikes but in practice it's the elderly riding them. More elderly then you lotCertainly on the semi-off-road rides.

What was with the 400W spurts at 3:00 and 5:00 and the <200W bit at the foot of the climb!?
Pacing is absolutely key on Bologna. I've had a few bad experiences there!

What bike is that you're using? It doesn't look like a TT bike, were they not allowed?

Getting over the little lumps to maintain speed. Feeling dreadful at the thought of the next 12mins of effort
Ha ZP has big old me 4th out of 19 starting
They were allowed, just thought for the short flat bit wasn't worth me changing from my usual bike. I may have lost 30secs on the flat
Ah, OK - I think the tests show you gain more on the flat section than you lose on the climb using an aero TT bike. You'll have to do it again Andy!

Shall we have a bit of a league? Everyone do a Bologna ITT between now and next Sunday and get a results table going? 🙂
