Are you having a laugh??? It looks horrendously climby https://www.strava.com/segments/16786868

I was thinking the same last night ... .a longer race and the Surrey Hills did spring to mind. But, and I know this may not go down well, I'd prefer a longer ride to start at 6:30 rather than 7 if possible.

Obviously a coincidence I’m near the top of the list

I actually did that time on the atom (never used the Bkool on Zwift). And I remember I stopped to have an argument with the missus near the end, so it’s a very beatable time.

That time suggests the argument was at the beginning and fired you up!

It’s a cracking time. Fastest zsunracing times are 1h12-18.

My time was April last year, just after I got the Kickr. I reckon I'd be a little quicker now (fitter and lighter).

It was definitely near the end. I can’t rememebr what we were arguing about, but I distinctly remember thinking it would probably go down badly if I made a dash for the line while she was in full flow

Yes yes, every Thursday but varied courses would be amazing!

Or, choose a route like last night, but do 2 laps. The 'meetup' will finish when we cross the line the first time, but we just carry on riding for a second lap. We can then just add the 2 lap times together in Strava to get the 'race time'.

Yes I did think of that, I can just see the potential for causing confusion! Let's try and stick to courses we can do in one lap for now but it might be an option for the future (unless they improve the meet up function by then!)

What would be ideal is if you could map your own course.

Yesterday s start typified the pace for the event. I ave 432W and peaked 890W for the first minute

Crazy

How about we just start from the blocks next time? Just like any other race?

 

[Breedon]

Will most likely have to be a mountain/big hill of some sort to be more than an hour for most. It's a shame you can't set multiple laps for the meet up rides. You can set a time to ride for but I don't know how that will work for our races - it might stop when the ride leader has done an hour?

You can set the distance I believe so could make it more than one lap

How about Mountain Route Watopia https://zwiftinsider.com/mountain-route/

That would be totally brilliant!!

Oh yeah it does look like you can - I thought that distance just defaulted to the distance of the course selected. But you're right I think, and that can be amended. If that works, that opens up a lot more options

In that case my vote would be 5 laps Innsbruck Ring

Yesterday has everything really, a decent flat section and a 9-10 min climb with a dash to the finish .

The London figure 8 is a good overall route, balancing the power riders against the lighter climbers
