Zwift Chat

[Joffey]

Welcome

welcome to the group.
As we are on TT bikes there won’t be any benefit for us riding as a pair together because of the drafting being removed.
I bet you will be faster than me so go for it at the start and I’ll probably try and hang on..

That old chestnut... I'll be trying to hang onto your wheel lol

And cheers for the welcome!

Welcome along to the group ,don’t stop till the finish line but there is also a blue gate after the finish line that once you go threw indicates you have finished the cycle chat meet up

Blue gate? Check.

 

[CXRAndy]

Well ! Flat course on tt bikes !
what have I done to deserve that ? Did you break a tooth on the sixpence in the Xmas pudding ?
oh and tommy - I had a cold
Thanks for doing this 👍

Shut it Berty,

You've become a all-round monster

Blue gate? Check.

On tonight's meeting don't stop till you go threw the blue finish gate for the meet ,usually a few hundred yards or so after the Zwift course finish banner

I found that extremely tough tonight. Well done everyone who turned out

I got stuck at the start (power wasn't reading) and probably tried a bit too hard initially to catch up but didn't real feel on it. Think I need a few days rest

Are we using this segment? https://www.strava.com/segments/16982511. My time was 34:49 if so.

Who crossed the line first?

 

[Freelanderuk]

Well done all ,very hard tonight

 

[Brusgaard]

I'll stream the pain - feel free to watch.

Bugger, I had been logged out of Youtube in Geforce Experience, and for some reason it wouldn't let me type the @ in my e-mail address in the login field. Sorted now, so maybe next time...

You can however watch the recording of my failure to follow @CXRAndy and @bridgy at this address, once YT finish processing:

Well, well😄

I wasn't feeling so sparkling before the event. Even the first few miles, felt really tough. Half way, I felt the same, but no worse. Steen, caught me and kept around 5 secs behind. We kept catching those in front, with Chris' being particularly hard to shake off. Steen and Chris left me I think as we passed the bottom of Boxhill. Weight advantage came into play on the descent. I couldn't shake Steen and went fast up the tunnel climb. Je was still there.

I didn't realise Marino was still in front.

With half a mile to go, I began to believe it was in the bag. I couldn't see anyone within 15 secs. . But with third of a mile, yellow and red markers appeared coming fast. I threw everything for the last 400 yards.

I won, but not only won, but first Cyclechat event 2020 and the decade

I shall bask in this win for years, having only one other win in the old Bkool days

Thoroughly. wanting my now


Thanks Paul for organising and everyone else

. By a few yards, with Paul, I think just behind

Who crossed the line first?

This was a handicap race, with the only point being first to cross the line. No point in doing great on a specific segment.

…AND not part of the January league anyway.

Well done Andy, good ride
