I saw that Dave.... trust me that is not a bad start position, when the fast guys go past you , you can still use them as a form of pace check. At the back with 3 faster guys behind you , once they have gone past it will potentially be a lonely ride !!!

I saw Paul today. Amazingly he did not mention anything about 'not feelin well'! Does that mean he is now 'feeling better' and even he's got tired of saying it? Maybe he is genuinely unwell as he is driving to the track tomorrow morning. Wimp!!! Just text Andy O, riding up to his place and then over to SSC??? What the cake like there?

Yes, my extensions did fall off... twice, but as I am an honourable sportsman, I am not using that as an excuse. Its my bike I should have checked them.
I am feeling better, not 100%, but better than I was. I will be fine by next Wednesday (if I am not I will make sure everyone knows about it!!)
I plan an extreme lactate threshold training session in the morning on the track consisting of driving over, 4 laps chatting, into the clubhouse for a coffee and a cake, then driving home.
That should improve my TT times no end.

I will be doing something similar tomorrow, but without the cycling. I call it recovery to ease my conscience, but some people might ( rightly ) point out you have to train hard to need recovery.

Looks like its on for Saturday morning at the track, we'll be there for around 09:15 ish. We are highly honoured to have a special guest joining us, it looks like Jason will be making a rare apparance as well! As an extra bonus the weather looks good and the wind won't be as wild. It sounds like a pleasant morning to do 4 laps then sit outside drinking coffee and eating cake. yes I will making my first Saturday morning appearance I may even shave the legs for occasion

If the the "Southern Division"s reputation is anything to go by this so called 'quiet bimble around the circuit and then coffee' will most likely turn into bunch sprints every lap and a new course record on Strava!!
...must....resist.... sprinting!!

It's like the 'Dark Side' of cycling telling you to sprint. So long as the cake is good I will have just one quick sprint I think?

...must....resist.... sprinting!! You didn't resist very well, almost every sprint I went for you seemed to appear! Justin and Jason must be very tired after trying to pedal, breathe and talk non-stop for over an hour, although I guess an average speed of 8 mph means they may have a little left in the legs for tomorrow!

I have no idea what you're on about Andy ... Though in my defence I was still 4-6 bike lengths behind into the last bend even with a shortcut!!
