I don't know, I think it was part of the black Friday sales. It's worth subscribing as that's how I heard about it and I've had the same offer a few times

You'll have to give me a clue?

The women's race was a cracker....

You don't get that from the male vets 40's London cyclo-cross league.....back to the drawing board for me then

A summer of strength training is a good way of sorting that out without needing hours on the bike

Ha very true, the lurgey did you out of a place in the 30's, seriously impressive lap times.

Was that down to the neoprene booties you were wearing?

Eurosports is currently £19.99 for a years subscription. They're showing the world cup races, from what I can tell live and catch up

After many mentions of Vittoria cx tyres I bought some 40c terreno mix tyres to take on the flinty trails between here and box hill. They certainly look and feel pretty rugged

it wasn't too bad being gridded at the back....nothing is as sketchy as the start at Ardingly

Thanks, it's all coming back to me now

Gizza clue then 😁
Is at the bottom or middle of the course?

looking at the course for the SE regionals where about is the big hill we went up and down that I remember from the last time I raced their a couple of years ago?

How did the leg hold up on Sunday?

you might have to send me a link, googling "Chariots Streatham" didn't really bring up anywhere suitable for CX riding
Streatham sounds ideal, Saturday or Sunday morning is good for me although this weekend I can do the afternoon?
Give me some non dad times and let's set a time

Where's that?

Cool, is there anywhere in your neck of the woods that's going to be greasy and slippy, the places I train around Sutton are normally grassy and grippy

Given the lack of local races between now and the regionals on the 2nd Dec does anyone sarf of the river fancy meeting up for a training session on a Saturday or Sunday morning between now and then?

Bugger I don't do Facebook

Where is that being broadcast/streamed?

This is what you missed

I enjoyed the challenge of the zigzags, it was really difficult without pre riding the course to figure out the grip levels. They definitely crammed a lot into that part of the course. The rest of the lap turned into a very slippery recovery ride. The heckling/support in the bomb hole was great. Apart from a bit of a di2 mechanical which cost me a couple of mins on the camber section l didn't have any dramas . I've also had my first ride of the year in mud so I've no more excuses for the rest of the season

It did mean it took me 3 laps to figure out the grip levels, I was a long way back before I got used to the slidyness ....I enjoyed the bomb hole that was cool

I ran that.....my cunning plan of not pre riding the course turned out to be not that cunning.

cool and light rain on the day, it's going to pretty mild so it should be an epic muddy race without any of that cold nonsense
