Hi @steverob - sorry for not getting back sooner - yes I should be ok for the 6:50 start time. I’m looking forward to racing you guys again. The small field will make it interesting alright. Did you all use discord last week?

That's great - I've gone ahead and moved the time. We currently have 13 riders signed up for tomorrow!

Is @13 rider one of them?

Just looked ... should be a good race tomorrow .. unless I get worse I'll be on the start line

For anyone who's not feeling 100% tomorrow, but still able to do some sort of effort, I would recommend riding anyway because:

a) those of us at the back would appreciate the company / draft
b) if you don't take part you get the slowest time +5%, so you're actually limiting your losses!

That's actually why I'll be on the start lane Steve, unless I'm really ill ... even if I can't give 100% I should at least set the slowest time for those who don't make it

I managed a 30 minute spin with a pace partner at lunchtime today .. but been hacking up gunk since. Nipped to gym this evening .... well, my hot little gym bunny friend insisted I join her, and who am I to refuse Damn she's hot when she's doing squats

Thanks @steverob and to everyone who kindly agreed to the slightly earlier timeslot. Let’s hope we have a fun race!

Wait a minute, I thought we were getting to start 10 minutes early but you still had to start at 7, how are we supposed to win now?!

We'll have him this week @mjd1988 .... all we have to do is punch up the climb at 7 w/kg then tempo to the finish at 4.5 w/kg ... easy haha

I was hoping I could scrap for 4th place again, but with Bram and Al on the start line, I may be in a little bit of trouble

Never mind the Hivey badge, you'll need the Hivey bucket.

Just sayin'... I'm not sure 7 would be quite enough!

It might if you're only 2cm tall

The local girls keep saying the same to me ... I do wish they'd put the tape measure away though!

Is this like when you try and get extra points for using metric instead of imperial measurements?

Looking forward to this evening! Good to have so many people out
