…though there is still water in eucalyptus
There is but I don’t think they drink it separately (lazy bastards are too stoned to get down from the tree!).
I think I might for a spin up Ven Top tonight, nothing crazy. Get that badge.
Worst route in the game - so dull. I’d stick a film on… or some wet paint to watch.

RE: Water being awful.
We flip-flop between soft and hard here, so it always tastes weird.
I think his paint has all dried now?
Tuesday 13:15 - I’ll see if I can move some things around

I was MILES ahead.
If a few of us did that, could we stay out front???
Actually, after the couple of days I’ve had at work, some dull mindless pedalling will be just the ticket!

Yeah its kinda knowing in advance thats the plan… and the more of you that go, the more likely the rest of the field is gonna work at the start.
Id normally let 1 lone rider go (Spooner aside) cause you know the pack will pull the back,

I just wound up to 600W from the 30s countdown and kept it there and then down to 300W over the first minute, as that’s what happened in my last race.
I note that over that hill, people drop back to 2W/kg after sprinting up it, very odd.
Decent that, cheers!
I was at 600W again at the end. OOSH!

I assume the theory is - a split up the hill is more likely - esp with everyone dropping power ups before or on it. But once at the top, downhill, you have to be an animal to gap a pack and its easier to not fall off. It would be a great time to attack - but you’ll also be fatigued from the climb too - so that attack isnt going to be as strong.
I know the videos are a bit vain - but its harder to “learn” in the moment. I enjoy looking back at the key bits

Hmmm interesting development after this lunchtime’s sufferfest
If I ever race as an A , reckon I’ll come flat last every time. Usually finish in bottom half of Bs
