Zwift Chat

[IrishAl]

Apologies - I've been rather busy this week so have only now produced the final ToW league table....

@IrishAl - Congrats on heading the league at your first attempt and with four stage victories (including the dreaded Alpe) you deserve all the glory that this entails

Well done everyone who took part in the league, particularly those who completed it and received the coveted ToW jersey. I'll create a new league table for the forthcoming CC events - I imagine it'll be a bit more hit and miss now we are in the summer months but I'll keep it going as it can help motivate us all in different ways

Thanks again @peterob for keeping tally of the times, etc. I'm sure it cant be easy tracking down all of the efforts.
I've pulled the pin on my Zwift account for the rest of the Norn Irish "summer" although if the weather keeps up the way it has so far I could be easily tempted back. I tried Road Grad Tours as a free to use alternative last week as I needed a couple of easy recovery miles - it looks decent but lacks other riders to interact with. I can see it will hard to see how they will ever gain the momentum to compete with Zwift.

Im out of medical isolation now. Still coughing up green, no longer sweating like a pig whilst laid on settee

Start riding easy next week

@bridgy how do you select a world with meetups? I'm planning to have a go at stage 1 of league today but the app is only giving me the choice of the London courses.

If anyone is interested I was thinking 4 o'clock. Legs are still shot so not going to set a good time, but I feel I should at least attempt to set some sort of time!

Sat here undecided whether to ride outside or Zwift - weather has been rubbish, but clearing a bit. May be up to do the 4pm with you.

it's really windy down here ..... Zwift is far more appealing than facing headwinds again this weekend

Ignore me @bridgy - just updated the App and i can choose London or Watopia now

Invites sent if anyone wants to join me. Set race start at 4:10 Enough time to warm up before the off

Thanks for the invite Carl. I can’t make it today but if Saturday afternoons become a regular thing it could be a good time for me. Maybe not when the sun’s out though

I'm doing a 60 mile cyclo-cross event tomorrow morning (on a full suspension mtb ) so I really ought to rest my poor legs, - but if I feel like a bit of a spin later then I might join you Carl. Seriously windy here too today!

 

[Norry1]

I'm in.

Not sure how I'm feeling at the minute so will have to see how I perform.

Does the segment start and finish close to the meetup start and finish?

No idea! I'm assuming it's balls out from the off and will push for another minute after the end to be sure.

Been off the bike for ages so going to the meet up but will be spat off straight away I'm guessing

Edit; lots of updating so not sure if I'll make it!

I am at a work right now so i couldn’t join the event. Depends on the weather will i do tomorrow outdoor or indoor ride.

Ah not to be. Kept going invisible, wouldn't have hung on for long anyway.

Just happy to get some exercise; daughter born a month early a couple of weeks ago, and needed a bit of time in hospital (doing great now thank God).

Turns out having a kid impacts on your sleep and free time (who'd have thunk it? )

A solid ten out of ten excuse there mate. Massive congratulations to you and your family

Missed the race too. That slot is often not a good time for me but will try and make it when I can. I'll look to ride that route when I'm on Zwift so as to get a time for that Strava segment.

New early league table below....
