Annoying to see what people my age are still capable of

Interesting - the 100 mile route no longer goes deep into the flats of the Fens, instead they're doing two laps of one of the early parts of the course. Explains why the race is now on the 66 mile route - to stop riders from earlier starting pens getting to lap 2 only to find they were catching later riders still on lap 1 and everybody getting in each other's way.

Just think if you applied yourself and ignored that silly engineering profession

I could definitely do today's Giro stage:
If the wind is in the right direction could be very very fast
GOOD LUCK 💪

Crit Club? The course is practically made for you, Andy. I did it yesterday and the average weight of top 20 must have been 85kg

Held on to the front pack, two weeks off meant it felt hard work, not gasping but close to it.
My ave HR was 5 bpm higher than normal, so come the sprint had little left to give . Rolled in 29th.
Top end will come back

SHOWDOWN
We had a good finish yesterday. I think we caught them by surprise. It's a 5x5 format with 12,10,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 points for finish positions.
8 laps of Glasgow Crit. We had one no-show due to sleeping through alarm. Another of our guys got dropped on lap 1 Clyde Kicker.
So 3 of us battled on against their 5 and got 1st, 3rd and 4th with our straggler taking 2 points for 9th that was enough for the win by 1 point.
I went early with a feather ~700m from the finish - exactly like I did in a race a few weeks ago.
That helped lead out the other two and I held on for 4th (by 0.04s)

I did the Club "BASH" Chaingang on Tuesday as planned. I knew I was in for a kicking.
Joined the fastest group and lasted just over a lap - then joined 3 guys who'd been dropped from other groups and towed them the rest of the way.
I thought it was fast - and Strava agrees
Good prep for Sunday's race.
