Zwift Chat

[Brendan Parker]

I've just entered a B race up the Alpe this evening (6:30PM start - 30 entrants at the moment): https://zwift.com/events/view/844066

Fancy that @Whorty and @mjd1988 ? I doubt it's one you fancy, @Brendan Parker?

NA thanks

 

[mjd1988]

what time you thinking. If earlier than the dbr then maybe this flat one

Check out this event on Zwift!

Probably a bit too early for me

I did expect that kind of response when I posted - just winding you all up really.

I have found this DBR league to be lacking in climbs, but I suppose I would say that as a lighter rider! Hopefully whatever league we enter next will be a bit more varied - some longer races, some climbs, and a TT would be good too! Not sure if such a league exists or how to find it though...

I actually agree it would be better to have some climbs. I'm not going to sign up to a b race up the alpe just yet tho!

It would add an interesting dimension to GC as well to see some riders do damage limitation whilst others pick up loads of points then switch when the roads go flat again

TT bikes would be interesting too so the wheelsuckers, who sit in and keep their numbers below B, have to work for a change. I think that would push certain guys in C well over cat and into B.

Join the DBR one, not many takers tonight however... Probably won't give you the true feeling of a B-cat start as opposed to the feltet.dk race starts, with 100+ starters in B.

Maybe able to race the DBR race this evening.... to ride for CycleChat do I just insert CycleChat after my name in Zwift?

I'm right on the limit between D & C so if I race will take part in the C race to avoid being disqualified...

If you want to show up in the league results you will need to register with Zwiftpower, and join the Cyclechat team in Zwiftpower. The website then does the rest

Having Cyclechat in your Zwift name is useful to see each other in the race but not strictly required

Edit - if Zwiftpower has you as D you can join D and you will race with the lads there, but be mindful you may get DQ'd post race and promoted. Might be more fun for you tonight to stay there and maybe work with the other Cyclechat team guys in D and get a feel for how these races pan out

Would be great to have another CycleChatter in D tonight but I'm currently leading the series over Remi Nielsen from DBR so please don't drag him ahead of me in the sprints and KOMs.

I'll make sure I pop Cycle Chat in on my Zwift name so you can spot me

I've joined Team CycleChat on Zwiftpower....
If I'm able to race I'll put CycleChat after my name...

 

[Whorty]

I'm signed up to B. I won't be on Discord though as you guys won't want to hear the abuse I'm screaming in your direction for convincing me that this is a good idea

 

[LBHIFI]

Helo Cc'ers, been a while.
The reason is that I was involved in a near fatal accident. I"m afraid I will not be able to ride a normal bike ever again, as I'm currently paralysed from the waist down.

However, I'm looking into getting a hand driven bike to fit in a home trainer, so you may be seeing me on Zwift some time in the future

How many pages do I need to go back to keep me up to date

 

[Freelanderuk]

This is a shock and I am truly sorry ,I do hope that you are on the road to recovery in the best possible way for you ,this is truly a shock and I just can not find the words I want to say ,all I can do is send my highest regards to you and your family

That is terrible news. I guess all I can say is I'm glad you survived the accident. You seem to be taking a very positive approach which I can only admire you tremendously for.

It would be great to see you back on Zwift - and I'm sure you'll excel however you participate.

Oh crap, sorry to hear that Lars! I must admit I did google you, when you stopped posting here and nothing registered on Strava either. Didn't find anything about you however, except that you hadn't died.

There is a guy (Michael Løje Naumann) in one of the Danish Zwift groups which uses a hand cycle with Zwift, maybe he can give you some pointers?

 

[JuhaL]

Oh no, didn’t expect that either. Just thought that you Lars was just busy for another reasons. Can’t find any comfort to say just right now except i hope you get better over time and really hope that you can find cycling in any form as possible. Get well soon.
