Maybe i will start straight to Cat A and take a look how far Zwiftpower drop me, if that is better option than disqualified :biggrin:. I just ride Eric Min Thanksgiving ride, i have to say it felt more like Eric Min unforgiving ride. I ride almost two Sand and Sequoias laps in 60min.

Have finished showering and dressing wife, so I'll be ready for the ride at 6. Of course, all that effort to lift wife from wheelchair, to shower, back to wheelchair etc etc so back is a bit tired now - that could impact riding tonight ..... just saying :whistle:

I also rode Stage 1 last night so legs may be a bit tired too :biggrin: Got to be worth a good Tommy score, surely :angel:

Work out your rough w/kg for that 60 minute ride and you'll have a good idea what your Cat is. Up to 2.4 and you're D, 2.4 to 3.2 and you're C, 3.2 to about 4 and you're B.

Todays Thanksgiving ride my w/kg was 2.6, without night shift i would probably had a better fresh legs and maybe better w/kg ratio. So Cat C seems to be right one anyway.
 
Thanks I’m use to the solo rides being a cat D rider.😢
A fellow cat D (Lee Johnson) rider set a time on Tuesday so I had to have a go but had no idea where the finish line was at the end.
The competition races for Cat A, B and C are really good this year and very competitive but somehow we need to attract more Cat D riders to make it more enjoyable for the less fortunate slower riders like myself and Lee🤔.

How long have you been riding? Perhaps you’ll find yourself in Cat C before too long? I’d enjoy seeing you there:okay:

You and Lee could perhaps do something unorthodox e.g reach a sporting agreement to work together on each stage to see how far the two of you can “gate crash” the Cat C places in the overall?! ^_^

This post made me think back to when I started riding a bike, I bought an electric mountain bike in September 2017 to help loose weight (23.9stone), I logged my first ride on my garmin that I bought at the same time in October 2017, I now have 2 road bikes a mountain bike and a full Zwift set up with permanent bike attached to a Neo2 and now weigh 12.9stone on a good day Riding is good for you:bicycle::bicycle::bicycle:and I’ll drink to that:cheers::cheers:
