(>4.1 zMAP OR >3.36 zFTP) AND zFTP > 200W to be a B.

My zFTP is nowhere near 3.36, but my real FTP is more like 3.5. My zMAP is about 4.2-4.3 though.

If i had my way you would all be riding in B! well, except for Pete who is an A! Every time i get a little bit of fitness i get stuck in B -its not fair...

Went down to Cambridge yesterday for a posh black tie shindig to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Cambridge University Cycling Club. Met up with three of my old friends, whom I hadn’t seen in 15-20 years, in Thetford Forest for a bit of brilliant MTBing in the afternoon. Lovely dinner at Newnham College, convivial reminiscences and much alcohol, toddled back to B&B in the wee hours, awesome Full English this morning (bizarrely, with Stephen Hawking’s ex-wife for company), and back home for lunch. 👍

(I'm towards the very back on the left; guest speakers Ned Boulting and Michael Hutchinson on the right, Alex Dowsett couldn't make it because his wife was giving birth...)

Now that is a reunion

It is indeed - Endurace SLX 7.

I took one for a test ride late last year and absolutely fell head over heels for it, but they didn't have my preferred colour (officially named Space Blue, but looked more like deep purple) in anything other than XL or XS, so I put my name down on a waitlist at the start of this year. During this time unfortunately my Trek then developed problems that would have cost an arm and a leg to fix, so I decided that Stealth Black was the next best option (and certainly better than no bike at all) and took the plunge.

I'm the opposite. I wanted black in my endurance 7 with 105 group ( the level for my an ability) but had to settle for red when it was on sale.

Draft Bitter have been struck down with a myriad of medical issues and connectivity problems so we won’t be entering tonight. Thank god

I am quietly hoping our absence results in relegation but not sure if we will be that lucky!!!

Good luck all who are racing tonight. Sounds like it will be a killer!!!

I do have a video but I can't bring myself to upload it!

Do upload if not too traumatising! Keen to see how you guys did up the kom

PedalBoys gelled really well, and rode strongly to third place on the night, enough to put us comfortably top of the league. I feel as if I really turned myself inside out, but my NP was surprisingly low (290W) - probably a reflection of how much recuperation I was getting while in the wheels. A great team effort! Many thanks to @Girafitti for having me in this campaign - it’s been a lot of fun 🤩

What an event that was. Loved it

At the end, I targeted a group of Danish riders. I was 10s behind them before the Hilly KOM, 35s ahead at the finish

I spotted you came first in time over hilly KOM . That's some going solo

I didn't bother uploading this yesterday - but I've done so now if you want to have a look. It covers the Volcano KOM but I stopped it before the end.

That's heartbreaking, it almost lasted through the whole descent for Paul then I reckon you would have been fine. Ah well, pace line looking good!
