How's the tour going Bob? I saw you did the first stage on Sat. Doing ISLAGIATT against my full ftp left me broken for days after, let alone having to follow that up with 7 more days :wacko:

Are you attempting it at full power?

Perversely, I am quite enjoying it so far. ISLAGIATT at 100% then ftp only dialled down to 96% on The Bat and Fight Club. I-left AC and MAP at 100 to keep pressure up. Really hurt with those 17 sprint efforts in FC and then dropping into threshold. Goat should be straightforward later. Coach advised against Nuclear so I imagine as week goes on I may dial it down a bit. It’s an interesting community doing it, lots of tales of adversity overcome and all that but also some pretty bonkers and funny posts that keep it from getting too serious. I know what you mean about ISLAGIAAT but I do love at as a ride and test of endurance 🤪

My new time trial bike has 170mm cranks - and my road bikes are all 172.5mm. I can't see how to tell my Garmin that the crank length has changed. Anyone know?
I have Garmin 1030 and Powertap P1 which i think you had on your Valentines present :eek:
I believe you go to connected sensors, Powermeter, then adjust there?

Edit apologies all the other responses hadn't refreshed :blush: Have you tried via the SRAM AXS app which is now the powertap P1 app??

Colour me disappointed by this. Yes, I know Innsbruck as a world doesn't exactly have a huge variety of courses to choose from, but all three stages basically involve riding up the KOM in a forward direction. At least they could have thrown in Lutscher CCW for the first stage to send you up the other way, or removed the KOM from the third stage and added more laps of Innsbruckring instead just to keep it different.

I need to finish the Tour of Sufferlandria before I go near a race. 15h of riding over 8 days will hopefully leave me a little stronger...or broken. 😁
I saw on Strava you had done a ToS ride .... I thought you was doing a ride round South London, and this was the Tour of Streatham, or the hill climbers paradise via the Tour of Sydenham :laugh:

It depends on the power meter. I think only power pedals needs crank arm length since this is an unknown factor (torque formula is Force times arm length). E.g. my 4iii powermeter comes pre-mounted on the crank arm, so the length is not unknown , hence no need for it in the config,

Nothing special - just sign up in the app or on ZwiftPower. Try to convince your fellow top B's to do the same. With many riders from team Fusion Development signed up, you are sure to face some real competition! :boxing:

I predict a win for Simon Nielsen / FUSION ECT (15 w/kg in his sprint) in the A cat or one of the Fusion Dev A-riders. Simon is a very clever rider, whose w/kg is usually quite low during the race as he is a really good at positioning in the draft. So in a sprint finish he has quite some reserves left.
Did they ever confirm if there is a limit on team sizes?

Don’t really want to commit to this , if the weather ever picks up I don’t want to miss outside rides
Happy to do league rides but want to spend a bit of time on brvr and might be spreading myself too thin taking on anything else

I've been struggling to recover from my rides. I think I've got a low level bug/virus. Glands were swollen this morning. Im going to have a couple of days off and return with light regular rides for a week or so

That should be me signed over to CC in Zwiftpower for this race series. 👍

Is this series being run under Fusions rules where dual recording is essential for Cat A? I don’t see anything in the rules on the companion app. I’ll probably dual record anyway not that I’ll be anywhere near the front.

Well here's the final league table for the Tour de Zwift. Well done to the dirty dozen who completed all stages :okay:

A new name at the top this month - Congrats @<Tommy> on an impressive 7 stages and fully deserved. It looks like you may be stepping up to Cat A soon (give Al some company). @Milzy pushed Tommy close all the way and Berty completed the podium.

Another imminent promotion looks in @Whorty's sights as he triumphs in the C cat. Well done sir! And well done @Joffey - a full set of results and an obvious improvement trend over the tour :cheers:

Not sure when the next league will run. Tuesday's looks like it may be the new Danish team comp for a short while, but if there's a desire to set up a new league let me know!

Well done Tommy 👍 And thanks Pete for compiling the results. The fact that there is no whining about times / missed times just shows what a top job you make of the record keeping.

happy to do the Danish race series for the next few weeks. If there is any appetite for a handicap race for a Thursday then I can find a suitable race slot and have a go at allocating start times.

No, I don’t think so.

The Danish cycling federation‘s races started with the same rules, but as of February dropped them, as they realized it wasn‘t enough to ensure a fair race... If values seemed wrong they would contact the rider personally instead.
