This segment - https://www.strava.com/segments/12483517?filter=overall&gender=all

N.B. Last Meetup we did, the segment finish banner was AFTER the meetup finish line, so keep pedaling after you cross the blue meetup line (not all of us did )

Times so far that I'm aware of:
Tommy: 53:57
Lee: 54:38
Bridgy: 54:51
Whorty: 1:01:25

@IrishAl I can't ride tonight either and Wednesday probably best for me too so I could possibly join you Wednesday evening - what time would be best for you?

6pm or 7:30pm GMT would suit me best @bridgy - the earlier slot allows me to get straight on the bike after work, or the later one I can get some grub before and leave time for it to settle. But if neither work for you let me know and I can adjust. Better to have some company than go solo.

@<Tommy> - just doing a bit of over-analysing, and if my maths are correct, the current situation would leave me 2 seconds ahead of you overall - can't get much closer than that!

Now, are absolutely you sure you won't have time to make another attempt so that I know wehther I'll be safe taking it easy if needed...?

I think if I were to re-do a stage it would be the time trial. I have a feeling I could take a bit of a chunk out of my first attempt knowing the course a little better like you and lee did 2nd time around. But I won’t . I prefer live races so if I do race this week I’ll most likely pick one of those.

Great - I will have a think about what time would be best for me and get back to you

 

[<Tommy>]

Uh Oh

😄 Nah I wouldn’t mate. Even if I did pinch some time back you could always do the same so it just turns into a game of tennis. You pulled out a blinder last week against me and lee so hats off!

I won't be able to make the meetup race tonight unfortunately. Can someone please put up a message at the start of the meetup to warn people about where the segment finish line is, just in case they haven't been keeping up on here - maybe you could do this please @Whorty ?

How did you work this out?

If you go to analyse tab, you can grey out any length of the event to get time/ave power/HR/cadence. I greyed out start to top of pretzel for Tommy

Ah, OK - I make it about 36 minutes for Tommy from the start of the segment to the top of the radio tower doing this

I'm 90% sure to be there, dependent upon HID, so yep, will do

I haven't done nothing special for Vo2 max, just normal ride on variated terrains. Last time when i did outdoor ride Garmin says my maximal oxygen uptake was 46, which is pretty good for my age (55). Not used my Garmin computer on indoor rides so don't know what it is now.

Just test on Zwift my Vo2max, it is 45 now.

Should make it tonight, looking forward to it (well until the road goes uphill)

 

[Freelanderuk]

See you at the start guys for a few minutes

Wait for me .... I'll drag you up 👍 Of course, I'll go up slowly so you don't beat my Sunday time

Not looking forward to trying to mark @Breedon on the climb. That is going to be an almost impossible task

Just spotted you, Dean, Del, Micheal and me on the start line ..... battle of the C's. Need Brendan and Andy to have a full set.
