Robbo - your work is never done!
Another brilliant series of races, well done Robbo!
Just listened to the podcast and your aim for the handicap system to be as inclusive as possible and enabling everyone to have a chance of a win is for me exactly why I’ve been there every race.
Looking forward to the next series!
I agree, I think the the handicaps worked really well. In the last 2 races where I felt I did better I scored more points than the other races. Also it was super tight with the timings after the handicaps were applied that every second counted which pushes you more and in turn helps to get you fitter.
I donated to something previously I think!
There was a GoFundMe for Series 1 which went to Cardiac Risk in the Young.
Brian is going to set up a GoFundMe for Series 2 which I have nominated the NSPCC for so if anyone would like to donate (no pressure too - it has been a very tough year for a lot of people) then hopefully he will post it up when he has an opportunity to and people can donate.
Thanks everyone. Its good to give something back this year and support some worthwhile causes as a result of the series.
So as a few people have asked there's a fine raiser up for Robbo with proceeds to the NSPCC as his nominated good cause this time out.
Thanks to Robbo for the organisation and to everyone who took part making it great fun. [And for making me realise I've got very lazy since summer, yeah thanks for that.]

Done. Good work Robbo and Brian
Donated.
Good stuff!
When is the award ceremony, with the champagne, trophies and scantily clad ladies?
and scantily clad ladies
This is 2020 not 1990
You get mark, binners and chips.
Still scantily clad though. (possibly an improvement on Chips' usual sartorial choices)
Thanks Brian. That’s me donated. Good choice of charity.
Donated. Nice One.
Donated - well done chaps
@slowpuncheur - You could be right and thanks for the advice. I did have a week off the bike early in November - although more enforced by a house move than part of training plan, and although did not involve any leg turning was not really "rest" in the truest sense. It did also occur that the stress of the house move on top of everything else may have had an impact, although not feeling particularly stressed. Anyway - now that this race series is over, I have forced myself to take a proper week's break and I will see how I feel after that. I noticed after a couple of days off my calves in particular really hurt for a day or so, but that seems to have gone now.
Hopefully I'll be back to full form for the 2021 series!
@crazyharry. It's hard to make yourself rest sometimes but you'll see the benefit. If you've ever tapered for a week before an event, you realise what being properly energised feels like. If you haven't got one, get a foam roller on your list to Santa. Really helps my calves, hamstrings and IT bands. I just don't use it enough!
