A group rid etogether to attack the hills and mountains

 

[bobinski]

You are the last person who needs any more help up the hills!

Oh, alright

Dean, our very own transgender Zwifter! Now, you don't get that over on the other forum

I enjoyed that tussle. We should get a group ride together to attack the hills and mountains , spur each other on to pb's. I think it's harder in a race because I am already likely at threshold.

Oh, I did drop back for you but it was clear you didn't have the puff to keep going.

I'll be up for that bob looks like I'm going to be off for a few days due to the weather let me know a time and day
I'm all for transgender

Going to give RGT ventoux a go tomorrow and there's a new course a loop coming out quite soon . Looks like winter is going to be busy riding.

Dean, there is a warm up because you ride into Malaucene before turning to go up. Some of that is downhill so don't make my mistake of thinking you are going the wrong way only to have to turn around after 4km and do some extra climbing. Just go in the direction the bike is pointing!

downloading rgt as we speak

Malaucene route looks to be slightly easier in that, yes the middle section looks steeper but there are much lower gradients either side to allow a little recovery

After being DQ'd in the KISS C Cat on Thursday, entered the KISS B race last night. Bit too flat for me, came 10th out of 20. Still DQ'd again

What is with people racing the warm up lap? I was a few mins behind people by the end of the warm up

Keeps telling you to upgrade to A lol, maybe you should take the hint

You're losing time for the same reason I do, I keep missing the front of the pack, and consequently get dropped way behind, spend a large part of the race playing catchup and consequently DQ.

I would go into CAT A if the race was going up the mountain other than that I have no chance. Surely there should be an automatic regroup if there has to be a warm up lap?

I'm probably going to add some kilos onto my weight so I'm not at over 4 w/kg constantly.

You're an 'A' cat rider with 4.27W/Kg

Yeah, the problem I have is that only equates to about 250w. No chance on the flat courses.

You can't have it all ways. I get destroyed on the hills, but have power for the flats. You lightweights, get up a mountain at 6W/kg ​

I wish I had that problem, 4w/kg for me is near enough 400w.
