I was averaging 1.5-1.7 on the second half of the climb, 200w +/- 10w. The last 2 or 3 corners were a little lower. Even with my gearing I'm down to 60-70 cadence which is quite sressful on the legs. It was a case of bedding in for the long haul no matter how long it took.

I'll be continuing the workouts and hopefully the weight loss so the w/kg will go up a lot, even if the ftp only goes up a little. The aim is getting fitness for the ToC, then more weight loss for the rest of the year.

They were riding at 1.5/7 so sounds perfect :smile:

Mucho Kudos to Martin who has topped the Team Cyclechat ZP rankings:okay:

I suspect Paul will have something to say about it;)
Well I would have a lot more to say about it if I had the slightest clue as to how the rankings are calculated, and how to affect them!

In the meantime congrats to Martin for being top of the mysterious ZP rankings :highfive:

Can't do Mondays @TurboTommy otherwise I'd be tempted to join you tonight (not that I need the elevation having already earned my Tron bike :cuppa:)

So what are people's thoughts about this week's league/group race? Would people like me to set up another meet up in either London or Watopia, or prefer to use the standard Hare & Hounds race this time?

If we do another meetup, any preferences with regards terrain? We can do flat or flatish to encourage drafting, or mix it up with something hillier?

You racing tomorrow night mate? I’m going to try making Tuesdays a regular race day for me.

I’m up for another meet up or hare and hounds. Don’t mind what the terrain is.

Yeah I will probably do some kind of race tomorrow night - I usually do races Tuesday and Thursday nights, and then random stuff whenever else I get the chance depending on how I'm feeling. At the weekends I want to try and get some more outdoor miles in when weather allows, and also some longer rides to get my body used to doing more than an hour! Double Devil and TOC are looming big on the horizon and approaching fast!

@TurboTommy I'm due on Zwift at about 5 today for about 90 mins. Not planning to do the Alpe, but if you want to let me know, and at what time, and I'll go ahead to the base of the Alpe where you can join me. Once you're there I'll head back to flatter lands and you can work on the Tron bike climbing :okay:

I'll be on Zwift around 5pm too. I'll be doing my ftp builder workout on the Alpe to get my 'free' climbing metres in my (seemingly) never-ending quest for the Tron bike.

If you're on there then I may be yo-yoing around you as I do my tempo and z1 intervals ^_^

Thanks guys

I’ll be on from about 6 ish I think. So I’ll see who’s about. I’ll prob warm up a bit before I want to hit the climb so it might give us a good chance of meeting. I’m not super fussed about the bike. I’m just the strange type who likes climbing hills I guess.

It’s the DD that is like a big dark daunting shadow for me at the moment. I’m the same as you in that I’d really like to start putting some proper miles in ASAP!

@TurboTommy OK. msg me on Zwift when you're ready. I'm planning to spin for an hour in Richmond, then at 6 I'll head over to Watopia. I should be through the secret gate and on the Alpe about 10 past 6.

@TurboTommy I'm trying the workout setting on the road to the sky ATM so should be on or near the Alpe at 6. I'll be doing intervals though so probably no fun to ride with but welcome to join to get on the Alpe if timing works out!
