Out of interest Whorty how long did it take you ?

2 hours (excluding the 5 mins i buggered about with the chain etc). Probably 8 hours then if I go for the 90 miles DD

Rode 30 miles tonight, with 3000ft of climbing. Chain came off at one point when climbing the big hill, took me a few mins to get it back on, then had to go for a 'p' and grab a drink. Bit of a pain, but enjoyed the rest. Just need to do that 2.5 more times and that's the DD done

I have to do it not enough miles this week, I did a FTP test and though I was running a higher power I blew up and abandoned the test. Everyone is away except my youngest so indoor all weekend. Limping aswell

No idea whether I can manage this or not....once up the Zwift mountain is usually enough for me. But it would be daft not to have a try. Anyhow, appreciate the instruction on how to join; had no idea how to do it.

Blimey, Deans' back going trying to keep up with the Pole's, Andy limping. What a load of crocks!
Have i told you about me knee?


I will do the ride. Have stayed off the bike to try and recover from whatever strange thing has left me wheezing with a sore throat, headaches. Feel like one of you old crocks

I reckon its a good 2000 calorie ride so have fluids and a bit of food to hand.

For some races you do need to add some bits to your name.
D Hallam (breedon) would be say D Hallam (Breedon) ZTR (C) read the description for the event it will tell you if you need to change it and to what to.

My plan for tomorrow 'sportive' is ride along 180W-200W drafting, well there is nearly 700 taking part then ride tempo/sweetspot up the climbs, for me is 250-275Watts. You lightweights will have less watts but move a fair bit quicker up the climbs

See you at 9.15ish with banana and flapjacks, 2 litres of fluid

I wouldn't get your hopes up, I'm pretty sure Zwift typically breaks at about 200 riders in one module so set your expectations accordingly

I would Log onto zwift early, certainly by 9 just to reduce the risks of not being able to nearer the time. Fingers crossed it all holds together.
