@@FreshCrits Happens to us all, I was an A4 racing a handicap race against A1s a few years ago , last lap and a friend (in A2) behind me roars, go go go, we have a gap, dig in. I put my head down and buried myself. Best 3 minute power ever. He laughed as he passed me with the rest of the field on the second last corner saying thanks for the lift.
"Bleeding out of the eyeballs". Comment of the year. I Never managed to finish a tear drop race ... it's brutal. If the GPS unit captures good gradient change, maybe worth throwing in gradient data so those not familiar with it will realise how hilly (brutal) this course is.
the only way to describe the feeling!! the teardrop is definitely a brutal, but something about 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'? As for the gradient idea - i've played around with the idea but it's always quite delayed unfortunatly. Maybe time to upgrade the garmin ;) Cheers for the love!
Haha nice video 👍. Hero pulls to impress others is my thing too! The blowing up part afterwards is my thing too! Looks like we got a lot in common 😂. What we don't have in common is that you are a beast compared to me lol
You were basically back on. At least you had a crack and didn’t just get dropped sitting in.
Can’t wait for FCCC A Grade video.
so close, yet so far. The mind wanted to, but the legs said no! Cheers for the love! FCC is coming up!
Great stuff mate, Bring on the FCC video & Northern Vets W!
Cheers Gaz!! Stay tuned - both vids are in the mix! stay tuned!
"We've got a gap", I like that guys style, almost fell out of my seat laughing

Out of interest, what was your best 5 min power and ftp when you did this race?
just getting to these now - about 360w. Feel free to give me a follow on strava and you can dig around ;)
@@FreshCrits damn you must be able to get up Devil's Elbow Short in like 9 minutes
Hows the gonads on this guy?
Droping into the Tear Drop for your first race in a grade! #respect!
