I'm a maybe this week. Friday sees me away with the inlaws and on driving duty for 4 days so I might be too deep into the depths of anticipation to do anything but drink my self unconscious by Thursday.
I'm a maybe too - we could make it a beer per 10km Brian, if that helps ? (actually, every 9 fits better)
Or, you know, shots 😁

A beer with every shot? I've not done that sort of nonsense since I was a student!
Oh that's not what you meant was it?
you're not reading carefully enough - every 9 shots
Only 2 maybes this week so looks like a no I am afraid!
[s] Going to cry off and pack my stuff ready for holiday [/s]
That's a real shame, I was looking forward to it!
I won't be about next week so won't make it then either sorry.
Start delay is +15 minutes. I'm guessing that won't provoke a sudden rush of riders?
I were going to try this week, but I’m recovering from this and that
Sadly unable to make this evening either☹️
I should be a yes for next Thursday if any others are up for it.
Any interest this week? It might be fading out (seasonally?). But it has seemed like that before and then people have swarmed back...
The team is entered for Thurs 7.40pm. 1 lap of Greatest London Flat.
The entry sheet is clear here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_0I0hulOaE2y34RpjckVCoT2Jks16vypeZ98L_LUw8/edit?usp=sharing
But chat in the thread as well so we can see where it's headed...
I'm in if there's any interest - recovering from a belter of a cold, so could do with blowing out the cobwebs!
Heading up north into the rain for a few days, sorry!
I’m up for tonight if any other takers ?
I'm down in Welsh Wales I'm afraid so can't but could have really done with the exercise.
Ah well, hopefully I'll get a few days riding in before assuming my customary role as lantern rouge at the race on Sunday.
Does anyone fancy this this week?
1 lap of Tempus Fugit, 7.40 on Thursday.
I can make it if there's any interest?
I could
(it's set to be 15 degrees and sunny here, so happy to go out & play too)
I'll join if we can get a team sorted
I maybe able to join. It would be good to try again and see if my laptop lasts a whole TT without locking up!
Also need to see what the boss is doing tomorrow evening before I commit, so no worries if you fill all the places
So this might work: @phil56, @scaredypants, @dangeourbrain, @sturdylad
Any more?

Start delay is 7 minutes (from 19:43)
Sounds good to me
@phil56 @scaredypants & @sturdylad
As it is I belive we're a four this evening and as the weather is (here at least) quite lovely I'm going to shout up now just in case it makes the decision for anyone.
I'm definitely up for riding this evening but given the way today has been I think I may have eaten something that's not agreed with me.
Upshot is I'm a bit wary vigorous effort on the turbo may be curtailed by an even more enthusiastic sprint to the little room.
In a four that means we'd (you'd) be short for the finish and I appreciate folks may already be looking out the window and having second thoughts.
On the subject of being a four actually - @sturdylad I don't think you're signed up?
I'm in regardless - hopefully not a solo TT!
I'll be on the start line Phil and with luck I'll make the finish in [s] one go [/s] no goes!
Hi all, apologies I'm going to have to bail tonight.
Mrs Sturdy Lad is off donating blood so I'm on child and dog duty.
Sorry for the late shout but only just been reminded!
evening "all"
still happy to ride (inside or out).
Are we still going ?
I am - much outside looks lovely for the reasons I'm not sure about my making the full course I'm not sure outside is wise!
So entirely up to you really scaredy, we're only going to be three at best so not enough for a result either way.
never fussed about a result, just fancy a decent workout
(best not to sit behind your avatar then ? 🤢 )
Just wear brown so it doesn't show up 😉
well done for getting to the end Brian - you seemed to disappear sharpish !
Ol'DirtyBrain ?
you seemed to disappear sharpish
Just bloody hungry, seems having emptied myself across the day has left me continent but ravenous! Thought I'd best get cooking.
Well despite only having three, losing Phil for a bit and ending up in frappe because the three of us are all B we didn't come last in class, actually beat two 8 man teams
That's not a terrible result
Anyone interested in riding tomorrow or should I plan to go outside?
Team is entered, so if people want to ride you can. It's 1 lap of Greater London 8 (25km)
No need for spreadsheets - just speak up if you want to ride.
I'll post time delay and racepass later...
I can't make this week
It's the M6 for me tomorrow evening, sorry
Outside it is then!
I’m up for riding if anyone else fancies it?
@ChrisCharles I think this week is a non starter (though I guess you figured that out already too).
@dangerourbrain I guessed as much as it’s nice and dry outside🚴🏼♂️🚴🏼♂️ Outdoors for me tonight with hopefully a TTT next week.
Was due out on the mtb tonight but got called off last minute..
I thought I'll do one of the few remaining badges.
A few days ago I did Legends and Lava (via appletv), which showed on the UI with a distance countdown whilst I was watching a film on the laptop. Near the end I realised that I should be finishing at the top of the volcano, which never appeared, and despite doing the distance did not get the badge - I now remember it did a sneaky u-turn right at the start which I thought was just its special way, but now turns out to be a bug.
Tonight I did Climbers Gambit, checking the route was correct as we went. With about 4k of the final climb it did a u-turn on me again, and abandoned the route. (53 mins in, thanks).
Why am I telling you - I've got to bitch about it somewhere, and its not worth its own thread !.
Enjoy the evening off.
Hi all,
Any TTT tomorrow or are we on hold until end of summer ?
Not for me Chris. I've got the dreaded lurgy, fortunately on the retreat but whilst a ride on the turbo would be very good if I'm up to it I'd struggle to keep up with a snail, let alone you lot.
Hope everyone is having a great summer. Just wondering when the TTT Zwift rides will start again ?
Chris
