There is a watch option when you login into Zwift. I know it works for general watching because I've used it, just click in the name you want to watch. Whether it works in closed races I don't know, but will try on Thursday evening to see if I can see Jeff et al

As mentioned I was trying to watch Carl race, but it turned out to be impossible.

I could see that Carl was "Zwifting now" on my Phone. When I switched to details, there was only one "Ride on" button (it was probably me sending that during the race ^_^).
I then started Zwift on my PC and chose to just watch, which took me to an random rider.
Then found Carl on the app, and now there were more buttons. Clicked the "Fan view" but noting happened. Clicked it again and it switched view to myself. From here on the button had no effect.

I then tried to re-logon to Zwift on my PC and join Carl. That was a bit bizarre. Apparently you can join a rider, even during a race (Carl, did you see me?), initiallly in "Pedal Assist" mode, but that is only for a short period. After that you have to ride normal.
No. I didn't see you join. For a lot of the ride I was on my own. I did join a cat b group but I let them go and waited for the cat c riders behind
Thought I'd try and ride with them but impossible. Every time they came past me I lost their wheel. I'd then work hard to get in draft only for my power to climb to 450 watts and I'd fly by them. They must have thought I was taking the pizz and playing with them!

Quite a few of us can c riders got pushed to b last night so maybe not just me having power issues.

Anyone else racing at 8pm tonight? Feel fecked-not a lot of good quality sleep due to work but have committed to it so will race. My plan is to get in a group and wheel suck. Won't be the front group and doesn't have to be a fast one. I just want to finish.

I'm thinking of doing another Zwift trial - what race is it you'll be doing?

Obviously I'll be on a Bkool Pro so will have to see if I get this speed and power boost that Whorty had - not something I experienced last time I tried Zwift, but this is a Bkool so who knows what will happen!

Paul, Kiss race at 8pm.
You may get additional boost over the 30-80 watts but perhaps less likely if once in zwift you power off the pro and then power up and repair devices?
Don't forget there were recent updates to both zwift and the zwift link if you have an idevice.

Im thinking another days rest tbh, might race Thursday depends on how many of us lot are racing then, might go on for 20 minutes easy spin as a warm up for some core work and upper body.

Bob i wouldn't race just go for a easy spin or a sub 2 ride if you feel that tired.

Zsun riders rode as a team yesterday helping each other get back in when dropped etc and then securing 6 places in top 8 Cat C. Imagine if we could eventually get cyclechat teams together aye?
