Now, Sir, if you are motivated to do a FF, far be it for me to stand in your way.

lol. I do have FF on my calendar. I like to get one done a weekish post tour as the training overload usually gives me a wee fitness bump.

Which calendar, and what part of it? 
If that’s anything like me, it’s in very very light pencil. And has been moved and rescheduled a few times. Tho, maybe not quite as often.

I’m not sure whether it is me or the goat that is more relieved at our stage 4 reprieve. Bust the suit riding this morning. Has a life of its own now

Well, you can always blame me. 
If it is any consolation, Stage 4 was not a happy place for me, it was worse than the Blender horror show.

I’m relieved every new post you make, as I know then that the goat suit hasn’t killed you yet. Respect!

So my best efforts have brought my fundraising to a lofty $290. If i can get to $500 I will ghost the SYSTM forum for 24 hours. That’s right folks. Nothing from me for a full 24 hours.

Wore a Wahoo***** Tour jersey I won in a drawing (I think) last year. Great jersey. Too bad it has that name on it.

@pkdaylu It is a cool jersey. Hope it helped you suffer well!

I’m hurting so much…
Couldn’t hit all the sprints on Cash Register this morning
Death spiralled on a couple, never had that problem before… honest
Still got to do The Model later

Sir, yesterday I attempted the same as you, CR followed by TM, albeit I did them back to back with a very, very sweaty jersey. I managed all the CR sprints, just about, some really bite. But I did death-spiral on TM. So I could tell you it will be OK…but I’d be lying! 
Just watch your knees, we still have 2 stages left after these, dial down a bit if necessary (but book a flogging station in advance)

Excellent suffering, Sir. GvA would raise an eyebrow to this. No more tho.
Similarly I rode around the lake with Sir Standalot on Tuesday, as the only planned ride that day, and it did feel like a cheeky rest day. I almost rode Extra Shot, but was worried about doing CR and TM on the same day (and rightly so, because it was 
).Still should have ridden ES, off for a flogging.

So @Glen.Coutts which offer are you going to take up?
As @DameLisa can tell you, I can channel my inner GvA.

Duct tape.

Hmmm, well, it would be easier to just Shut the Suf Up for a day as there’d be no maths involved. But I’m a Sufferlandrian so…
On the other hand, to triple my output I’d have to dig right in to the data to get a normalized average daily output, starting, I suppose, from the start of the Tour until I reached the funding target. But… then we’d also have to consider word count, image uploads, hyperlinks and a handful of Direct Messages and assign a weight to those as well. I’m really not very good at that sort of thing, so I’d have to get a minion to volunteer to put it all together, perhaps in a series of, erm, graphs
Now, in the most probable scenario, reaching $500 is more likely to occur before reaching $750 (i.e. it’s unlikely - though not impossible - that a single donation would be made to bring my total to 750 prior to reaching 500). It also is conceivable that to reach 750 may take more than the allotted 24 hours of silence which then, at least theoretically, to answer your question, as a Sufferlandrian, I think I would do both.

Did you start cutting back on the volume yet Sir @Glen.Coutts ?
As one who is well practiced in the dark art of using many words to say nothing, I warn you that going “cold turkey” could induce much suffering for you.

I have a Cuore jersey and it is one of my absolute favourites. Maybe some fabric paint or dye could improve its appearance. Or, if not duct tape as Cap’n Sir Ian suggests, perhaps a patch. #twaaw
