Not good. Fingers crossed they get your Mom settled soon. Having been in A&E a handful of times ourselves this year due to HID, I'm with you on the resiliance of docs and nurses.

"B" category distance Dean??

I did the proper distance at 6pm - well done @berty bassett you beat me by 30 seconds. Obviously had I known this or we'd been in the same race I could have gone faster so... .....

Seriously though I got myself into one of those situations towards the end with just one other rider who refused to take a turn in front - we were well ahead of anyone behind so it ended up being a matter of principle going slow enough to force him to go in front fir a bit! He just went even slower though, so he was never in front for long whatever I did - then he went and out-sprinted me to the finish line

(To be honest it was actually quite nice to cruise along for the last few kms though!)

No different to the shenanigans that happens with the pros.

Pretty new to Zwift here (upgraded the iPad and using my existing power meter) so looking forward to TdZ. Looks difficult as I’m nowhere near as fit as I’d like. Still, here’s hoping it’ll help me (combined with IRL club rides) to take on de Ronde sportive this year..

Not a heck of a lot to report on the Thu KISS EUR. I was a bit sore from painting much of Wednesday and even though I tried to warm up well, I missed the lead group out of the pens. That may have been a blessing as I probably missed most of "Bath Salts"'s messages. For some reason his messages just seem to annoy me. Was doing OK, not great, but OK hanging with the second group until my chain dropped off the big ring during the little climb and wouldn't go back up on the big ring. It's been a long standing issue. If I'm forced to not ride, it may be a good time to get the bike into the shop. It's never been professionally tuned up and I'm sure it's crossed the 5k mile mark eons ago.

So I spun like a madman, but continually fell back through the packs for a mediocre at best finish.

Going to shoot for 3 more races next week.

Excellent news about your mum.

Have you thought about doing a trip advisor review on the hospitals?

If you had times it right you could have done a 12 days of Xmas with a different lesson every day.

The eldest son is back today and provided he helps carry the NEO up the ladder into the loft I might try a gentle no resistance spin. Can’t do any harm.
