I'm looking at 2 or 3 o'clock tomorrow for Stage 1 of TdZ ...... both have good numbers signed up in ZP
Workout followed by a spin today
Might try and make that. Starting to feel a bit more human today, dying to get some form of workout done, but likely won't be going full pelt
He cant feel it. After steroids, Tramadol experience

Which are ride we doing for the league ride ? I may try and join you
Cycling, the back is fine. The odd twing down the sciatic nerve but mostly no probs. Standing, walking, transferring the wife and lying down flat on back in bed are all still painful. Just need to convince wife that my cycling is more important than transferring her to her wheelchair
Right ..... back to the handicap starts ..... I did a test today that was quite positive. I created a meetup (I had to invite someone, so chose randy as I knew he wasn't riding at the moment so hopefully wouldn't get confused!).
Anyway, this is what I did. As countdown to start hit 0 I started my stop-watch and pedaled for a second to put me in the ride. I then hit the A key to go to pairing screen. I stayed in the pairing screen for (according to my stop-watch) 2 minutes. I then came out of the pairing screen and started riding as I would do if I was starting at my handicap time .... the positive was that the ET time on the screen matched exactly what my stop-watch said. That is, the ride time continued whilst I was in the pairing screen.
Now, what I don't know is if :
a) this is unique to the meetup organiser
b) it only works if you pedal for a second before going to the pairing screen (rather than going to the pairing screen before the count down hits zero)
c) if it works the same on Apple TV as I have a Windows PC
Anyway, what this means for me personally is I now have no excuse of getting my start time correct

I got that notice of an invite on my phone and was going to go against my doctors orders and drag myself to the shed because Whorty needs me.Right ..... back to the handicap starts .....

I see a couple of you signed up for the zwift race this morning (juhal, bridgy) good luck !
It looks like a nice course.
I would of joined you if I’d of realised but I’d already been on a while and I’ve earmarked today to ‘get rid’ of all the Prosecco left over from Christmas so I need to turn my attention to that ASAP if I’m going to get through it 🤞
