Saw you got silver. Well done

Cheers! I don't think the primes are properly allocated yet, I think I have won it... but don't hold me to that!! I think that I should be on about 70 odd prime points - not the 40 it shows.

I got a drop out on the Hilly KOM Forward but still somehow managed to get the FTS on that

Sounds more like an FFS to me

I may regret it, 4 tiny races signed up for-gulp😳

I'm in too (if I get up in time) as is Alex. Race 1 is ok, race 2 hard, by race 3 you'll be wishing you'd done the TT up Bologna I think I pass out during race 4 as can never remember that one

Haha it was.

I am just flicking through and it looks like possibly only one prime counted, maybe, but there is nothing in the rules that say that so who knows? If the results stay the same I am joint first in the series with 2 races gone so not everything is lost.

I might even put some honey in my tea between last two races 🤣

I ride fasted ... I was so toasted last Saturday. Had to get off the bike after race 3 last week, could hardly stand up. Still not quite sure how I made it through race 4

May have to get up a little early tomorrow and grab a coffee at least. Or a spoon of honey water like you

The great thing about the Tiny races is, you know everyone else is also suffering so it really is a case of gritting the teeth and getting to the end.

For anyone not aware of the Tiny races, here's the set up for tomorrow : Tiny Races

Shortish, 7-8 minutes of VO2 pain, with a few minutes rest between races and all over again. Not just for sprinters, there are hills too for the climbers to attempt breaks and try to make it stick. Very hard work, and nowhere to hide ... if you get dropped, you'll be on the road longer so less rest before the next race starts

In C the last 2 weeks there have been c. 130 riders in each race, and no one seems to get dropped, so always a high quality field.

Sounds a bit easy for my liking… 😳😉

I think it’s 18:30 for me. Might be a tough sell with the missus to be fair I think we have plans… I’m working this morning though. Is that 18:30 UK @alex_cycles?

Not feeling it this morning, so dropping out @alex_cycles @Whorty

1830 UTC but we're still on BST at the moment for another week. So it's 1930 our time.

OK. Hope you feel better soon. Good call if you're not 100% as it's an intense effort.
Looks like a good quality field today too.

I'm feeling a bit beaten up too ... gym for nearly 2 hours last night, I have aches where I didn't even know I have muscles!

Covid jab yesterday .... although I think I'm OK from that.

Plan to just try and not get dropped today 🤣
