Along_the_Wire 3:54 today in RideLondon. Would’ve been quicker, but there was a split in the first group because of a crash and couldn’t get back on.
apyssjw Along_the_Wire Mega quick - is that par for you? How did you find the wind? 3.15 to do the 60 for me. Working my way back to fitness.
Along_the_Wire apyssjw should’ve got somewhere nearer 3:45. The head and crosswinds were a fucking nightmare for large parts of the ride.

Old-Dutch As much as I fucking despise cyclists, whenever I’m driving on the road and see them on their silly bikes in their silly fucking lycra I think to myself, that could be Granto or Benson there - so I make sure to pull as close to the cunts as I can as I pass them and force them into a ditch / bush / wall
apyssjw Along_the_Wire cheers. Ran out of gas a little towards the end. Didn’t help that the family were up before 5 to get a flight - but have an empty house now so it’s swings and roundabouts.
apyssjw Along_the_Wire Harsh. Yeah I rode to the start and back, but dispute having a start time of 8.50 didn’t actually start until nearer 10. The front group (you?) we’re coming back down the A12 as I was going out.
Along_the_Wire apyssjw I was the second group as it got split due to a crash. Still annoyed about it.
benson Missed it as I’ve been slumming it at an all inclusive in St Lucia. Some mates blagged it and even got medals at the end the cheeky duckers!
LT42 Along_the_Wire yeah, disappointing. Was looking forward to seeing him again. Ah well, last year’s memories will last a long time. That 1st stage win was one of the best sporting moments I’ve ever witnessed.
Hursty Just watched the highlights it the national race, Cav is literally on fire at the moment, what a shame he won’t be on the start line this friday
Hursty LT42 His team have another sprinter who has won more races this season is one of the reasons. He is younger and very talented but Cav has proven his quality in the tour so a tough shout. The manager can be erratic also
