Who that then, Toks?
C.B. from London Dynamo


Haha, yes I saw her through the rain yesterday in Richmond Park. She was the only sensible cyclist I saw there! There were far too many weekend warriors thinking they were riding the Tour overtaking cars etc, giving the rest of us a bad name... all while I was cruising around at 128bpm...

[quote="Michelle"]Ahh......figures. Bet she is doing her rides at a really low HR, Toks :D ?
Lets hope so huh? :wink: Then again she might be seriously putting the work in. A bit like a very strong surrey league racer I know. Anyone for 270watt av for five hours. Yikes :shock: When he told me that I got straight back on the turbo. :wink:
[quote="michelle"]How do you get onto their forum - do you actually have to be a member with a membership number and everything, or is there an easier way to log in?
I just joined. They didn't even send a confirmation email.

Adam, Adam you know what those really competitive types are like about their figures :wink: They like to keep them a secret. He's probabaly reading this right now so lets just say he's obviously got a powermeter and he ain't a 3rd cat :wink:

Come off it Paul, anyone who can do 270w for 5 hours should be a Pro not a bloody Surrey Leaguer!!

It depends how heavy you are.

I reckon its Andrew Bye and 270w is probably about 70% of his 1 Hour Power so not too hard. LBP-10?

Well if it is Andy Bye I hope he doesn't mind the Surrey League tag, I think he's a bit above that!
