Everything went smoothly last Wednesday. Took Thursday and Friday completely off and just watched bike racing and golf. More of the same over the weekend, but went for short (one mile) slow and easy walks. I feel pretty “normal.” No AFib. Have a follow up with my cardiologist next week. And with my electrophysiologist at the end of next month. Still on Eliquis for another 8 weeks. And on an anti-arrhythmia drug for 30 days. No riding or any other strenuous exercise for 2 weeks. Can do light weights (but just arms) and easy walking. Will ease back into riding… Read more »

Well, I’ve Delgado-ed the first four races! My excuse is I’ve been more focused on my upcoming ablation procedure (this Thursday) for my AFib. And I spent the last couple of weeks down in SC for some quality family time and just couldn’t be bothered. I’m sure I’ll be the Lanterne Rouge this season!

and – Thanks for the well wishes. My ablation got pushed to next week. Was told no strenuous exercise for 7-10 days (but walking is OK). Ease back into riding (and lifting) afterwards. I’ll still be on Eliquis for 8 weeks after the procedure, but then that should be it.

Well we are up and running in 2024. The first weekend saw a shared podium for Omloop between dancollins and philplumb59 and a clear win in Kuurne Brussels Kuurne for sthilzy. Chapeaux.

Strade Bianche Men is still running but in the Femmes we have a clear win for Haldy34. Chapeau,

Pending completion of the Strade Bianche weekend, the early pace in the overall is being set by Haldy34.

Teocalli: I just remembered that I forgot to thank you for the Kwaremont bike rider beer glass that I received for finishing in last place in 2023. It survived the shipping in beautiful condition. Proudly displayed on my trophy shelf! I don’t have a lot of trophies, so it definitely stands out. Hope to finish a little higher in the standings this year. Thanks again for putting in the time to make this competition happen! Dan

Results are up for Il Lombardia. The finale for the season sees Timmy42850 take the win by a tyre width from a chasing group just a wheel back. Chapeau. Overall sees Haldy34 take a last gasp win from CyclingMonk by the finest margin possible! Hopefully I got all the scores correct! Chapeau. I’ll be contacting the prizewinners to check addresses before sending out the glasses for this season. In a super act of sportsmanship ChuckP is donating his glass as a Lanterne Rouge prize as he managed to source a bunch of glasses for himself just a little while back.… Read more »

So the results are updated for the spelling mistake and Cycling Monk does take the overall by a small margin from Haldy34. I think that still makes this season the closest to date.

Il Lombardia will show as Tour de France Femmes but it’s the best way I can work round the current problem as anything else seems to break the page at the moment. Hopefully this will get us to the end of the season and then I can try to find an alternative solution.
