Stage 2 for me tomorrow, probably the 1105, only 100 odd signed up for it which will seem a bit lonely after the previous stages!

I do my catch up stage-3 ride 1:10PM tomorrow. If i feel well rested i might ride sunday too, not sure yet what stage. Not all of them.

What i see in here, guys start to ride previous stages...again, start to sound serious. Maybe i will ride all stages again tomorrow....all of them

I thought that too, imagine what it be like for a race
I’m hopefully doing stage 5 at 9.20 to complete the tour tomorrow.

Nah, not taking it serious. The fact that I have noted the splits for each segment of stage 1 today so i'll know if i'm on track to beat my previous time is nothing much If I'm behind schedule then I know I can just pootle to the end and not kill myself, however if I'm looking good then I can work harder

Just had a cup of coffee, hoping this is enough to keep my energy levels up.

It's not a race Just a very fast, balls out, social ride

Good luck Chris. It's a much harder course than it first appears on paper. You'll have less riders to work with, so tactics will be important. Try to get into groups where you can, especially when you've crested a climb. Good luck

Cheers Carl ,will see how it goes as still suffering with blocked nose and a sore throat but got to give it a try and hopefully stage 2 tomorrow

No tdz for me this morning, I've got to clear the drive of snow, once I've found the snow shovel.

You be careful! Men of a certain age shovelling snow have a greater incidence of heart attack/injury- something to do with the cold air

A bit more snow here in Livigno. Actually we're snowed in. Hope roads are cleared tomorrow, or we'll have to extend our stay

 

[JuhaL]

We had a nice layer of snow on a roof. Need to keep eye on that layer if i should climb there with the snow scoop someday.

It'll be interesting to see how the catch up times compare given the relatively smaller groups to draft it. Need to do stage 2 to complete the tour but not confident i'll post a great time

 

[mjd1988]

Although saying that some great times just posted from stage 1 @Whorty in particular just pulled way ahead of me in the "NOT A RACE" table

When will I learn, not to race or expect great performance after a night out It was awful for the first 2 laps, in so much discomfort, breathing and legs. Darren caught me on the in run to the first lap and promptly disappeared up the road. his name came up again on the first lap and he was 30 secs ahead. I eventually settled into a pace with others that I could just hold onto their wheels on the climb and recover on the descent. Some five mins faster when racing as opposed to workout session. Just shows the draft benefit. Well done all who took part
