Zwift Chat

[kipster]

Hi guys - hope you're all well and coping OK physically and mentally with the lock down?

I am going to set up a socail group ride (thanks @<Tommy> for suggesting this) for tomorrow (Wednesday - it's easy to lose track!) at 5pm UK time. This will be an easy ride with some chat, not a race, and I will turn on the "Keep everyone together" feature as well.

I'll invite everyone who follows me, so if you want to join us and don't get an invite, let me know on here and you may just need to follow me on Zwift so I can add you in.

Will be good to "see" as many of you guys as possible tomorrow

Anyone joining this and wanting to chat, discord is https://discord.gg/a5mxpr

I visited the smoke, in a humanitarian capacity(collecting recovered daughter). I thought we were quiet around here. It was like a ghost town crossing London, saw only a few cars moving, more joggers than anybody else. I could see the sky too. Richmond park locked off to traffic.

Inside the M25 12 miles covered in less than 30 mins

Yeah. Sister in Law said her 1 1/2 hr comute is now about 25 minutes.

It's like real life Zwift out there just now. Streets nearly empty of cars, more bikes and runners

Sorry guys. Forgot to take my asthma meds this afternoon. Didn't end well for me. Need to rest.

Well done all - i think you all lapped me!

Well that was hard work! Had to reach for a vomit bucket on the line but thankfully didn’t use it. Can see why you chose to wear green in this series though!

32nd on the line so will hopefully steal an extra point or two on ZwiftPower for team CC.

It's still a wait and see by the looks of it ... it feels like it should be simple, let a 'club' organise an event that starts in the pens, finishes at a finish point, and is recorded in ZwiftPower. I have a horrible feeling they will focus on the 'club' stats and the bits that no one wants, because it's easier and forget about the racing/riding functionality.

I hope you’re wrong. I know what you mean. I just hope you’re wrong...

Just skim reading it sounds like established clubs will get the first look at it. And even then the timeline For rolling out features seems a bit vague. So maybe winter ‘22 we get to see it first hand in cc?

well f'ck my boots that was a tough one, really struggling to hold on after about lap 4
lost the lead group at lap 10 came in 23rd I think, see the winner finished 4.8w/kg

Not sure it was such a smart move to finish the race today. My heart rate was through the roof tonight...about 10-15 beats higher than usual.
I simply didn't dare to sprint as my hr was already 1 above what I thought was my max, before the sprint

10th in D, but probably 4th on ZwiftPower. Stayed with leaders for 7 laps, one lap with another dropped rider, then he dropped me and I soloed the rest. May have picked up a few bonus points on the early sprints.

Sodded up my recording, but managed to get the end of the race. Knowing that the nearest riders to me were over 30 seconds (both behind and ahead), I carried on pedalling but swapped cameras to the front of the race. One of the favourites did a 6 w/kg up the Prime and broke the leading pack of 4 apart. He had 5 seconds on 2nd at the bottom of the rollers but then just cruised at 3 w/kg to the finish line from there. I swapped to 2nd place (who won last week) and he was smashing it at 7.5 w/kg and I think may have squeaked past on the line - will have to wait for ZP official results to see for sure.

Yowza. On the limit the whole time there. Couldn't get my heart rate under 160 the whole race.

Picked up a lot of 3rd and 4th on sprints for the first half the dug in until the last two laps. Finished just outside the top 10 in the road so hoping with dqs and sprint points I will sneak up a bit and cement overall place in 7th or higher if lucky.

as I was saying to @BurningLegs you couldn't do that course every week, can't be good for you.

All in all loved this race series and well done everyone who took part.

Absolutely f in mad with myself ,I totally missed the start ,was pissing about with the companion app and looked up and you had all gone, was a bloody mad scramble from there, in the end I am pleased with where I came but think I could have done a lot better if I had cracked the start, well done all and another great ride by Michael, shame about your ride Carl with the asthma , well done all and looking forward to what’s next
