Nice even pacing there Michael .

I'll add yours, Lee's and everyone else's times to the league after Thurday's meetup. I'll probably ride mine solo earlier on Thursday, or tomorrow if I have time.

cheers @peterob . Last one for me before an all inclusive week in Morocco. My weight and fitness levels are unlikely to increase

 

[Del C]

I bet that was hard on your own?

Thanks buddy!

Just tried to ride at an even tempo. Seemed to work ok as I rode the last climb pretty well and managed to keep the power on. Felt it on the run in though!

Andy, you enjoying your trip?

Im enjoying it, but are finding it physically tough. Im heavier, less fit, and are the typical fat lad at the back on this tour. I have 2 weeks out here, to see if I can rekindle my enthusiasm.

The weather is glorious though

Surely Smart Turbos output the power to external head units? How else does Zwift know the power? As it happens I am using postmaster pedals but I assume it is the same.

Thanks @Norry1 - I never thought of doing that and don't know if my Elemnt will pick up the neo as a PM or not but I'll give it a try!

@peterob

I rode the Surrey Hiils race solo tonight.

Time was 1.23.25

Can you update my time and also enter me as a C category rider.

Thanks!

Decent time that Del, particular considering it was solo

I've expanded the Cat Leagues to include all that have ridden this league (not just those who did the handicap races on Stages 1 and 2). I took the categories from what I could see on ZwiftPower, so if you think you've been designated the wrong category let me know. I'm also now a cat B but it's too much effort now to re-jig the spreadsheet to account for the handicaps (plus I can say I'm top of one league at least ).

Updated table below that should now include all rides since last Thursday. Again, let me know if anything is missing. Lots of close battles going into tomorrow's TT

I get so restless on rest days If we weren't racing tomorrow I'd be on again today and sod the rest. But my ego tells me I need to try and set my best time tomorrow so enforced rest it is

I'm afraid I'm out for a few months. I'm doing a 12 week plan and can't do both racing and workout,
I tried to do the TT today, but was just too tired .

That's a shame Lars but I know what you mean - I finished the 6-week plan this week and found it tough doing 4 workout sessions and the league race each week. I was planning on today being a rest day so I could give the TT a good crack tomorrow, but the weather is so nice out there today I will probably go out for a short ride (but try not to push it too much)

 

[Norry1]

Is there only one TT bike on Zwift? If not, which is quickest?

I think later in the levels you can get better tt bikes but we all just have the one I guess

 

[Norry1]

@berty bassett are you sure about your time? Just looked at the 3 lap segment @bridgy posted up and that is the time you got in Jan 2018. Did you get exactly the same this time?

 

[Norry1]

Gonna have a bash at this week's challenge in a few minutes. Not feeling confident looking at my best times, which would have been massively race drafting assisted.

Will look now
