Matt attacked on the dirt climb on the first lap, and was caught just as he took the Shisa Sprint FAL at the top of the big climb. Five of us made the front group of 24 when the field split on the climb, but when the sprint started I just lost contact, and had to chase all the way down to the harbour before the elastic finally snapped. I rode the second lap mostly tempo; Bram dropped back from the lead group and we one-twoed the Shisa Sprint second time round, although our times were subsequently bettered. Matt went for a long one - a minute at 500W average - to take the win. Niek and Dylan both finished well up in the first group.
EDIT: WTRL seem to be revising the scores: Matt 106, Bram 94, Niek 38, me 32, Dylan 20, Bert 16
ZSUN fielded a poor team last night so have dropped down the league

Right, I've Favourited that segment and it is on my hit list for April
Hope you recover fully quickly - very easy to pick something up when fatigued after a training block (cough, holiday).
Had to look up 'shrewd' to see if it was positive or negative haha
Well done guys on the win and well done @Joffey and the D team.
A stronger performance from the Splitters team this week - @Peter Salt came 3rd and picked up lots of segment points too, as did @mjd1988. I knew I wouldn't have the legs to compete in the early segments so I just hung on with the hope of getting into the front group for the second lap. I did manage that and eventually get some FAL points 3rd time trhough Tidepool Sprint, but then lost the front group halfway up the long climb second time round, and finished 25th. @Norry1 , @Ketty and @13 rider I'm sorry I didn't really see much of you so I don't know how you found it?
There's a lot of strength in depth in our league - we had a front group of 23 making it to the end together which is crazy on a course like this and of this length. Anyway, as a team we came 5th out of 14 this week.
Here's my video of the race:

I've been using the built-in Windows Defender anti-virus solely on both my work and my home PCs for a good 5 years now and have not noticed any problems. The thing is that most online threats these days aren't viruses per se, but things like phishing attempts which are purely social engineering (e.g. trying to get you to click on things you shouldn't) or making use of exploits in Windows / other software, which are best combated by keeping software as up to date as possible.
My legs were heavy from the Weekend Ride I did. (Termed a reliability Ride but as usual it was pretty much a race
) I lost the front group fairly soon and settled into a group with @Ketty . We mopped up a few stragglers and I finished 58th. As you say, this feels like a strong League we are in and the leading times were pretty sharp.
Here's my vid - plenty of @Ketty in it

Oh, no - you definitely don't need MacAfee, Norton or anything similar. Just use the built-in Windows stuff, you can complement it with free versions of some anti-malware / tracking software - like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or Spybot.

Good luck with it - I’ll be watching for the Strava upload nearer the time 😀.
My daughter's fiancé is racing in your league Tim. He's coming back from knee surgery, using riding to supplement his rowing aspirations now they moved back into Nottingham.
I've got MacAfee running on my laptop. It came pre installed, its virtually impossible to remove the damn thing. I've disabled it but periodically it try's to brow beat into accepting it as the main antivirus.
If you havent ridden on the IOW and done the loop which includes Military road, Bob's napping hedge. You'd better get your skates on.
Fears have been raised that the Isle of Wight’s Military Road may have to be rerouted after a “void” opened up next to it.
The road was nominated two years ago as one of the most scenic in the country by Visit England, which recommended its “sweeping ocean views” but warned that it was at high risk of erosion.
