Zwift Chat

[berty bassett]

I did stage 7 yesterday evening but I missed the start and joined about 30s late. By the time I’d got myself going I was near last place and left to chase stragglers. No official time either on Zwiftpower but I was in the 48 minute territory. A bit annoyed as I can’t see myself getting another crack at it. To top it off I fell off my bike this morning outside when my chain or gears slipped thankfully at low speed and the car driver behind was paying attention. More embarrassing than anything but my hip has a light touch or road rash. Most importantly the bike seems ok apart from the sh^** gears.

Happens to the best of us ! - went round a mini roundabout today and decided to leave some shoulder,elbow,hip and knee skin in amongst the wet mud - broke right shifter but frame ok - forgot the commando roll and employed the sack of shet method of falling - must try harder 🤷‍♂️

That's good news the "Orange Rocket" is OK. You'll heal but it could have been serious if it was damaged.

Wow! You have 35 other bikes but You must be running low on elbow skin.

You lot, what's this outdoor, you talk of

Stay indoors till bluebells appear, back indoors before the first leaf turns brown

Heal fast guys! Hope it’s not all too sore . The weather reports look pretty grim even for the south east over the next few weeks...

 

[Whorty]

Your spot on regards the first climb made that mistake twice

3rd time lucky?

 

[Freelanderuk]

Just about to get on the bike and the powers out again due to this weather, hopefully not for long

First catchup day today. Was Stage 1 Long really 26 miles?

Given the state I was in after Stage 7 I'm concerned

 

[Whorty]

tempted by the 16:30 Crit Race .... anyone fancy joining me? 16km so a 30 minute dash

Treat it as a long steady ride rather than a race. go out relaxed, look at the other riders around you and try to get into a group pushing the same w/kg as you. If the group you're in is pushing more than you can sustain, look to the groups behind and wait for them. The worst for me is going out too hard and blowing up after 30 mins then having to grind my way to the finish line

Doing the Medio Fondo at 2 PM (UK) and doubt I'll be ready for a race after that. Would like to try one of them short crits though....

The power is still out here, looks as though it will be about 4pm before they can restore it,

Managed to get a ride as I remembered the Neo doesn’t need power, so I turned on 4g and hotspot on the phone and put Zwift on the iPad mini (which I use for the companion app) and away we go. But no fans running

London pretzel route completed😀

Must remember to turn of road feel in the settings on Zwift first because as I hit the tunnel towards fox/box hill the Neo started to vibrate like mad and I thought it was broken till I remembered the road feel and secondly, I use a car detailing towel to wipe my face when on the trainer, it yellow on one side and grey on the other, Yellow for sweat ,gray for snot, I must make sure I wipe with the correct coloured side with this cold as I was covered in snot and sweat when I wiped with the gray side😀😀🤧🤧

Had a bash at the ZHR 100km today. Went off with the intention of cruising it and ended up in a group of B ‘s. Went to see how long I could stay with them and made it. Well happy and was a nice change from the tour. Still have 2 stages to complete this week though

Pretty good TeamZW Primetime party group ride behind, especially new PR on corkscrew (uphill not downhill ) was good bonus. Not yet under 9min but it's coming closer. First i was plan to ride on Innsbruck but i thing that group ride was better decision.

45m 26s on stage 7 please @peterob
