Not surprise if you have ”little bit” motion sickness. Just saw your time, great effort

50 min on a NEO is a cracking time Paul​

Thank you guys - couldn't have done much more than that. Beat my previous best Neo time (done in the GCN Race) by 2 and a half minutes. Accidentally left the difficulty setting on 100% so lots of gear crunching which I think lost me a little time here and there, but probably not much. Glad that one's over - well done everyone else who's done it so far, time for a beer

You can now set your bkool PB to private

Again, a cracking time and very strong power Paul

 

[CXRAndy]

Lee will need a PB or near to match that time

That's a good idea - will that remove it from the segment leaderboards? I will make the two faster bkool rides private and hopefully it will...

Lee is smashing out some big watts on the climb

Off to look now at Lees hangover attempt

Amazing, well done! Almost faster for the whole race than I was for just the alpe!

My legs hurt.

I've just had my first proper bash at the Alpe duZwift. Those first 4 corners are vicious .
I dragged myself up to turn 11 before I stopped. I need to drop a sack of spuds to really do that properly
I take another tilt at it next weekend

Currently Paul has 30 seconds lead on Lee with 4 miles to go .oooh!

Turn difficulty to near zero and set a pace and cadence you can sustain

Cheers! I'm happy with it, was hard to know how it went at the time without the placings tbh. I ended up taking it relatively sensible to the foot of the climb then raced against previous best time for the alpe which worked welll. I beat 20/21 previous segment bests so delighted, but wouldn't be surprised if you do it much fast than you are expecting - even uphill the cumulative draft effect is huge!

I ended up about 4.5 minutes behind you in the end This is despite getting quite a few PBs leading up to the Alpe, and the Alpe itself I was only 9 seconds off my PB (ignoring the fairy dust Bkool Pro climb which I have made private in Strava).

I tried to pace myself up the Alpe, holding c.215 watts for each stretch. Didn't have much left at the end so couldn't have done any better.

May have to do that again on a re-run day, hoping I've lost a kg by then, and see if I can gain a minute

Please don't tell Lee this!

I know that can be done but I'd like to do it once at full. I don't race so the only one to beat is me.

I can then drop the realism a bit once I've completed it.

I've got an idea of how long it'll take now so can plan accordingly.

Now for dinner
