Sorry TT by the time i got kitted out and ready to go you were 18 minutes in, not that i could have stayed with you long anyway, so i went for the gentle WC11 and you're right DP it is quite sedate, much more pleasant than WC10, i reckon you power guys will do it sub 30 minutes

Nice ride Steve.

That explains it, we're all 'Vintage' in Cyclechat, no wonder we go up hills slower, overweight and under powered.

I've included both the video from yesterday and today:

Quick question.. if I change my weight in my settings (I've lost a couple of pounds), will it interfere with my league results? I seem to remember inputting my new weight a year back and my league rides wouldn't upload.. I re,ember red crosses..

Can I change it please?

Ta muchly

 

[bobinski]

Me too. Although I'm also beginning to think Bob's part of their marketing department!

Yeah, worried about that!
It's an alternative and no more. Consider your own needs, lads and lasses, and then ask yourself wether it will meet most of them. I would have struggled to do my 100km ride yesterday in bkool without the support and ride ons I received. And then I got to beat breedon up Watopia today-insert his excuse here-so it meets my needs and I will go elsewhere for simulated real life rides.

Yes bob got to say i really enjoyed our short but good fun ride despite all my "Problems" even had to restart my phone as the zwift app wasn't working properly so wasn't 100% into it, wait till we do a proper ride

Baptism of fire day 1
58 miles in 20mph winds and a punishing 4 mile hill left me at the back of a decent group of riders. 3rd beer and I don't have pain anymore

Only 8 mile climb tomorrow, less wind hopefully

Sunburned wrists

In the wc the results will all need to be verified but do go on. As a fatty weight loss has been a regular occurrence fortunately!

Have you been changing your weight in settings DP?

Beginning to think it is time to move over to Zwift

I think Zwift is OK but the huge variety in Blool is what I love. The video routes are good boredom motivators. Plus the chain gang races are crazy fun.
When Bobinski starts offering free beer we will know he is in the pay of the Zwiftians.

Nice ride Steve.

Thanks Jim, now that you've done WC10 you can look forward to the easier WC11

I'll rest a couple of days Steve, then stick your ghost up to chase...

Good luck with that!

Have you been changing your weight in settings DP?

Yep, down from about 101kg after Xmas to around 95kg now. Still plenty to lose. My aim is to get to 88 kg before the end of the wc and redo some of the uphill stages.
