must admit i let strava lapse this time as i couldn't see point of it other than a quick way of using other peoples routes - i take it you have got stravavix that throws untold data your way , if you use a garmin there is starred segments you can pick and choose on route - it can go either way - you can get your head round all the numbers and they will make sense and you can progress that way - or just decide the numbers that do make sense and keep an eye on them - i couldn.t tell you much about my data but the things i do watch i know where i am - online racing makes things easy as you can see your either getting better or worse
i still feel outside riding is hard to read data as there are so many variables - but others can help a lot more than me
dont forget its fun

View attachment 434825 The “A” team. I don’t know who is Mr. T.

Is that an Oakley shark fin coming outta @TurboTommy 's helmet?

Is the intention is ToC to ride together as a team? It sounds like last year was everyone for themselves, but I could have read this wrong. It would be good to ride as a group, stopping if anyone has a problem etc.. if it's not going to be like that then I'll probably aim to ride with my son and ping pong between other groups.

So you'll be in the set fastest time, cause once you've blasted off the start, if you fade then you'll be all on your todd for the rest of the ride

 

[Norry1]

I will be in set fastest time mob, even if it is slower than the pootle mob

 

[Norry1]

...... and I think Andy is right to suggest the 2 types. It is very, very hard to stay together unless you are pootling a bit.

Don’t know about Oakley shark fin, but I’m definitely showing my budweiser belly aren’t I!

Dint want to say it but ......

I think I’ll struggle not to launch of the line. I think it might actually be harder work keeping a group together then going balls out to be honest. We might get lucky and form a group if we all find ourselves together.

More importantly are we going to

-get new team jerseys
-not bother with team jerseys
-wear the luminous orange itch bags from last year.

To be fair it looks like bob’s sucking in so hard he’s about to get slapped around the head by a tree!
