Storming the Castle 19 December

One more sleep till I crush it

I’ve taken the advice on board, here’s the menu:

  1. The hunted
  2. Bat
  3. Attacker
  4. Do as you’re told
  5. Butter
  6. Power station
  7. The Trick
  8. Omnium (or Violator)
  9. Who dares
  10. G.O.A.T (or Violator)

I love the idea of throwing a spanner in the works at number 8. It’s like when you’re 150km into a ride and there’s a massive climb between you and the finish.

Will post photos of the progress here.

Just settling in for my morning coffee. Looking forward to the enterpainment :smiling_imp:

Edit: I really need that coffee. I’m a day early. Well, at least I got a front seat.

I like the line up except for Omnium. I am planning an attempt in 2022. I have just a few rides that are definitely in.

But the first decision I made was NO Omnium. I hate that ride. The next time I do that ride will be never. OK, if it is part of the Tour, I will do it. But choosing it on my own to do, NEVER.

Just in case I am not clear, I don’t like that ride.

All the best quests end with Violator :hamster:

I may be showing slight bias in making that statement of fact :grin:

Go crush!

Hmmm, sounds very much like you should start your quest with The Omnium.

Fwiw, I feel the same way about HHNF so I had to include it in my quest :smiling_imp:

@Glen.Coutts then I will do HHNF in your honor.

I’d be honoured if you did! And you’d be honoured if you did Omnium :wink:

evil laugh

@Critmark I had Omnium at #7 during my KOS. It killed me. Barely made it through the balance of the workouts.

But I decided to attack today and … I did it !! It was hard, very hard. I did not think so! I’ve had many crises … I’m terribly tired. I’m going to sleep…
