In a loopy way, I enjoyed that tonight. It’s been a while

 

[Brendan Parker]

Great ride all. Enjoyed that one. Just what I needed in between TOC and Dragon ride

 

[bridgy]

So the strava segment we're using for the league is the one below (not the Zwift insider verified one) so if you can post your time here @peterob can add it to the new league table :

Well that’s me stuffed then I took zwift off my strava as been doing stealth training behind my clubs back before RW rides
Couple of seconds behind @Monte as he done me in the sprint

 

[Milzy]

I'm going to have to bail tonight. Did a little run outside instead ..... feck .... I was hoping to do 1/2 hour but only managed 15 Flip, running is so much harder than cycling I think I need to mix running and cycling more.

As an avid club runner for 6-7 years I couldn’t get them both to work in equilibrium together so I ditched the running club & racing life for cycling. I miss it & my old friends but cycling makes me much happier over all so becoming a purist.

We can just use that then I'm sure. But even if you have auto upload to strava turned off you can always upload the Zwift ride file to strava manually

Don’t have this segment. I finished. Few yards after the blue gate so should have it. Can’t somebody who follows me check it on their Strava please?

[Alongo]

1:07:44 for me @peterob , seemed to be going well till top of climb, then got an excruciating cramp in thigh and had to limp home rest of way, very nearly bailed ! Swapped normal zwift bike over to road bike to double check power, maybe contributed , not sure .
Good ride Bridgy and a combativity award to Milzy .

Sorry to be a pain mate. Where would I get the zwift ride file from??

1.08.13 for me @peterob

Thanks for organising @bridgy

I had an appallingly slow start. No idea why. Obviously riding with Andre Greipel and Greg Henderson this morning didn’t do me any good at all.

Couple of questions for @bert1971 and @Monte as we were working well together until the volcano climb.

@bert1971 - did you have connection problems? A couple of times your w/kg dropped to zero and you fell off our little group, and then your were up around 7w/kg and suddenly back on and then back to normal.

@Monte - did you stop for a rest at the top of the volcano KOM. You pulled away from me to take the KOM and then seemed to slow right down.

I thought you were both going to catch me in the last few miles but I managed to get a gap again on the second climb and held it at about 20 seconds until the end. I was closing on @Alongo but it never looked like I’d make the catch.

Good ride!
