Thanks for the tow up the hill earlier @Randyberlin My legs were getting tired as I'd already done 2500ft and over an hour. That help you gave me allowed me a second wind. I added an extra 2000ft of climbing and 30 miles

That is impressive. I just dropped in for a warm up for the Bkool race and when I saw you were on clicked on join your ride. I knew you had already gone quite a ways when I dropped in but thought you must be near the top. Strong work!Thanks for the tow up the hill earlier @Randyberlin My legs were getting tired as I'd already done 2500ft and over an hour. That help you gave me allowed me a second wind.

Edit: what was up with my big head? Is it linked to some kind of ego vs real ability?

Can I watch?
I joined Ben Swift for a short bit today. He was in workout mood and holding a consistent 5w+ all the way up.
I start my weight loss program tomorrow to see if I can shed 2kilos in April. It won't be easy given I will be in Pisa and then Siena from Wednesday next week
wish me luck. I will be doing calorie burning rides anticipating pasta and ice cream

These types of rides Carl will put you in good stead for DD
Everyone had big heads today ... strange!
It was a shock when you suddenly popped up ... there i was, riding on my own, wondering if i had the legs to catch the riders up ahead, then a team mate pops in to pace me up
What, you mean painful rides that make me
I need to get out in the real world though now to see if i can do 2-3 hours in the saddle with the road bumps etc.

That is very generous of you Whorty.
I always smile inwardly as riders race for that start line because most then fall back on the hill, let alone Watopia. It happened today. There again they are probably the ones blasting past me on the flat

I rode the zsun social tonight. It perhaps reveals my relative strengths and weaknesses. I rode most of the first lap at the front. It wasn't far off their chaingang pace but it was ok. I rode BH in 8-30 this morning but stuck at ride pace for 10min or so. But 1/2 way through the second lap, 35kn in I really started to struggle being dropped before BH. I rallied riding back through nearly all the group but after the descent again started to struggle and got dropped with 5kn to go. Getting dropped from a group doing 45kmh is just brutal. I pushed on till the end trying to limit my losses. So, it seems my limit is still not much more than an hour and I really do have to work on my stamina. It has been quite a shock moving from riding with a small group of people on bkool to riding on Zwift and finding so many, many fitter and stronger riders.
