I'll be there at the start.... got daughter's zoom ballet later in the morning, so MAY have to bail if this ride goes on a bit.
I'll leave the sausages with the swarm though...

I should be good for tomorrow, assuming I get out of bed ok!
Consumed a Bath Ales Gem and half a bottle of Shiraz so I'll now doubt sleep well!
Not sure I'll keep up, but we'll see!
Don't worry stumpy, no one left behind and tows are available!
I've had an update this morning so get on early!

Enjoy fellas. KTM day out for me.
Thought it was 9:02 start! Hope you had a good one.
Enjoyed that, cheers for organising
Good finish with Phil and Oop North
Cheers for organising dB, good ride all. Nice to do a new route.
Great ride that...nice long rite with a bit of everything.
Enjoyed the finish, legs still felt okay, thanks Phil & Shaun for slowing to take me in to the finish...I know you could have sped off 🙂
Think I'll ride again tomorrow if I feel up to it.
Thanks for coming along all, was good to see so many of us about, especially on the quieter sections.
Well done all, as above, was a good mix of stuff for a group ride and nice to see some PBs on the hill too.
If anyone fancies commute club will be a either a few laps of fan flats or a run out on tick tock on Monday morning. Something with minimal gradient either way.
I'm in for commute club
Just over a minute of my PB, new FTP at the same time, bonus.
Strong motivation not wanting to get caught by DB 😆

I could see the two of you and the difference ticking down and just as I thought, "I can do that" the arch hove into view and I thought, "no, no I can't "
Damn fine effort from you folks and Gary though.
Cheers all enjoyed that. Got a pb on the KOM thanks to Phil. Def need a rest day tomoz as have been pushing hard this week.
This is what was included in the update.

That ride was a great way to start the weekend - thanks for organising @Dangeourbrain
Great fun!
Good ride that everyone, I'm not a natural morning person but it's good to get a ride in early sometimes. Can't make Sunday Hills next week as I'm doing very silly things for longest day on Saturday.
Had to do a rapid change over so Hoppy Jr could have a go straight after. Sub 30kg means he struggles a little but he was having fun doing volcano laps.
I’ll probably miss the commute tomorrow, I think I’m going for a hilly one in the 90-120 min range.
I've been a bit slack I know, so Ive set an 8pm Richmond Sprint Fest for Tuesday evening at 8pm.
I know at times people gave missed out as the 6:30 time doesn't work, so set it later for you lot.
In. Unless something comes up at work. Looking forward to it, haven't done an STW ride for a few weeks now.
First meet-up I can actually make! How many sprints we looking at?
An A rider should be going every lap Kelvin. Us Bs and Cs need to be more selective with our efforts.
Sounds good, something like 6-8 laps right?
Yes, we did it last week and it was 6 or 7 I think, it's a short flat loop.
There were 6 sprints last week as we didn't really sprint the first lap to give everyone a chance to warm up.
Bonza

And I think Gary won all of them 🙁
Weeksy. Can you invite T Rolo STW. He should be following you. Cheers
Commute club is up for tomorrow.
I'm happy to set up one for Wednesday and Thursday if folks wish but I won't be joining you as I'm in the office so you'll be beacon free. - any preferences for routes let me know, lest I set it for the uber double mega pretzel thing just to be mean.
Friday I might start a little earlier as I've to get the car to the garage first thing.
@dangeourbrain - please can you drop me an invite for tomorrow's commute club?
Thanks
Done. You are of course free to go further should you wish
Can’t do tomoz but can do Wednesday. I can send out an invite for Wednesday if you can’t make it. What route is it normally on a Wednesday?
I'm ok for most commute days this week although I may take a day off at some point cos I haven't had a rest day for ages.
Robbo - Usually something around the volcano I think on a Wednesday. Or we can do an Innsbruck city loop?
I usually keep going afterwards as I have a bit more time most mornings, this morning was a mistake though, some guy latched onto me and Dangeourbrain as we were coming to the end and he wouldn't let go as I went round again, he would speed up to keep with me then slow again, keeping always in my draft...kept on and on, so I waited until we exited the underwater tunnels and gave it 500W on the ramp, then used a draft power up once I hit the flat, left him and had him out at 22 seconds within no time. I wasn't expecting a race so early in the morning but I couldn't let him win could I...?
Ok sent Wednesdays invite but how do you get it for 7.02? Could only get 5 min increments.

You need to be special.
Sorry.
Your mother loves you though.
some guy latched onto me and Dangeourbrain as we were coming to the end
We had a few of those this morning didn't we?
Robbo...how about making Wednesday a 2 lap ride? It's only 9km so we probably have time to get 2 in...?
Just a thought so we can keep messages going etc...
I have increased it to 20k which covers two laps. Still can’t work out special start time but Innsbruck isn’t a guest world on Wednesday so should be quiet.
Great! That works for me.
Still can’t work out special start time
I just turn(ed) the wheel thing on the android companion, though generally I just duplicate now.
In going to pull out of my own ride this morning sorry folks as I really don't feel up to it.
Well, I feel left out. Everyone got a jersey but me....
That last sprint was close, what did you end up on?
