The Zwifting TTT thread

[IrishAl]

Sorry lads but ill give it a miss tomorrow. I was the weakest link last week and i think I'd benefit more from a structured workout rather than hanging on for dear life And with those hills tomorrow I'll be of no use to youse. Sorry 😞

No worries mate I understand. Weird course selection isn’t it? Looking at the map I’m not sure at which point you can work as a team really.

I genuinely think we can make this TTT malarkey work, and all get fitter for it. But you’d have to say we’re better suited to flatter courses. Especially whilst we’re finding our feet.

I’m easy tomorrow night though guys. I don’t mind doing the TTT and trying our best to stick together or treating it like a bit of a group ride. Or alternately I’m happy enough just picking out a race to do.

That’s a silly course - there will be no help going up and no point going down 🤷‍♂️ never thought I would say this but
If you lot would rather pick a flat course to try get better at doing turns I would do that - or just a race or not bother and I go Rouvy
Will do what you want
Slept 3-6 in afternoon , went bed at 7.30 - slept right thru till 6.30 😳 headache gone !

I'm gonna get dropped on the first climb! Can't see much point for me to line up for this one @<Tommy>! Like you say, strange course for a TTT!

 

[Legs]

Sorry @<Tommy>, I'm not going to be able to make it tonight - got various Christmassy things to arrange...

 

[berty bassett]

And I have to say - that is one of my favourite courses !

 

[<Tommy>]

I hope you guys are all aware your just paving the way for Bob to sweep in here and say how disappointed he is everyone else is bailing as he was really looking forward to doing that course

 

[<Tommy>]

Hopefully next week brings more flatness and more enthusiasm with it!

Did we ever actually report back how we did last week in terms of finishing position? I know we wouldn't have been great as we were down to 4 relatively soon but it would be good to have a result to aim to beat wouldn't it?!

OK so last week we came 86th out of 159 men's teams in Frappe Class, so that's the benchmark to improve on

Sorry guys, very busy at the mo. But I am up for racing this Thursday if we can make a team so shout up if you’re free and I’ll set it up.

If not, as always, I’ll look for another race. But hopefully we can set something.

Sorry I won’t be around on Thursday. Year end board meeting at work followed by a dinner.

I should be available this week. Like you Tommy if there isn’t a big team I can jump into another race so no hassle.

the course is 2 laps of Greater London Flat, 18!miles and around a 40 minute target.
