Remaster the Remaster

Since Wahoo is remastering some of the Sufferfest workouts, how about remastering the ending of the Sufferfest workouts back to the original and meaningful 10/10 Sufferfest COA and get rid of that silly ass laser goat thingy COA. You can leave the Honor-Glory-Victory lead-up to the COA but please go back to the original 10/10 Sufferfest COA. I know this is a Mythical Nation but that laser goat thingy is just silly and stupid. I’m so glad I did my Knighthood when I did and got the original KoS 10/10 COA stickers as I would never put those KoS laser goat stickers on my bike.

Ok, rant and request over.

If I was a betting Sufferlandrian, I’d bet a million pain suckers that that’s never gonna happen, Sir. My preference would be that they just leave SUF the SUF alone as they’ve demonstrated, most exceptionally well with the “remastered” aka completely de-Sufed Primers, that they just don’t get it, or they just don’t care :frowning: #stopsuffingupthesuf

I actually like the laser goat decals but 100% agree the original COA is superior. Those decals were my #1 Why when I planned my quest. So classy and I love the big OG COA on the back of my jersey!

My old bike, The Red Baron, however, proudly displayed the Laser Goat COA and, imho, looked pretty freakin’ badass:

As for the laser goats in general, they’ve never bugged me at all. I guess that’s because I’m almost always so uncomfortable :wink: #TUHNTF

I dunno how much sillier the laser goats are than a T Rex named Fluffy, pain shakes, chamois dancing, the Speed Demon of Sufferlandria, the Mythical Mud Monster of Sufferlandria, GvA as our DS, Amber Waves of Pain, The Great Lactic Acid Sea, Real Pagne, Holy Water, Couchlandrians, Donuts, Bagpipes playing during the 5 Sec Sprint, the streets of Agonia, Sufferlandrian Wildebeests, bleeding eyes etc etc.

One of the things I love the most about our great nation is that it never takes itself too seriously while at the same time offering seriously well crafted workouts (The Sufferfest Channel) and training plans that work based on sport science so if you want to seriously train, you can do that. That and the people who, almost without exception, are incredibly helpful, thoughtful, respectful, and nice.

lol. Had it for 2 seasons and a bit when Shimano came out with 105 Di2 and I convinced my wife that our lives would be immeasurably better in all conceivable ways if I sold him (and my “old” CX Focus Mares) to purchase: The Black Knight.

The one true bike. The one bike to Rue them all

I also loved The Red Baron but alas, he has been re-homed with a worthy adversary. His replacement may be a little less brash but he’s incredibly stealthy.

Here’s a pic of Ol’ Red on his maiden voyage to the hills of Oz.

Edit: @PaigeWatkins, I responded with a pic of TBK in error, so edited the post with one of my favourites of Red.
