Zwift Chat

Well 100Km down, so jumped of at the Aquarium cafe for a coffee and a slice of lemon Tarte (Actually need to muck out SWMBO's horse - while she plays my little pony ) ... will Jump on for the final two hills and the last 28Km ... Just the Reverse Epic KOM and the Alpe to do

Hi, I’m new to Zwift and racing, am friends with Joffey, could I join the the team and ride with you all? I’m CATD and came 11th in my first race according to Zwift power. I enjoy riding for fun and it would be good to be part of a team.
Let me know if I need to do anything else.
Thanks

Ketty

Thanks, I’m 67KG. Would like to know what to expect in that first minute so I can at least empty the tank. If I’m caught out and left on the starting blocks then it will be a sore disappointment!
I can go higher than the 300W but in Cat C that’s a nice starting power that comfortably keeps you in front group (or in the right place to respond if power is higher than normal!)

Martin normally hits 350W to stay near the front

Thanks. I can go for that, but it will be a struggle. I’d rather get in the front group and hang on as long as possible than be spat out right at the start!

Don't forget to get to the start pen early to get at the front - and be up at power with 2 seconds to go before the start. Then have 6 cups of coffee and some speed

Yes! Repping Cat D with my main man @Marino.g hopefully!

I’ll be there......I haven’t looked at the course yet but I think our tactics should be that you go for the sprints again but instead of pushing it when you completed it you can wait for me in my group hopefully and latch on. I’ll do the same on the Kom and see where your at.
Does that sound like a dads army plan or what

 

[Norry1]

Don't tell em your name Pike

 

[Marino.g]

Yes! Repping Cat D with my main man @Marino.g hopefully!

Could do with lee @LeetleGreyCells joining us as well.

I’m not sure 350w is normally enough to stay at the front to be honest. But I don’t know for sure. I guess it might be a choice between what we were talking about a couple of weeks ago. When you said Carl was very good at getting the best final placing possible. But I suggested a good way of getting stronger is to push on until you pop or come near to popping. If you hang with the front group for as long as possible you get the long term gain I think. But if you manage the race more you get the short term points gain.

Don't talk about Mrs Slocombe's pussy

Yes, my plan is to go out at the front and crack somewhere along the way with hopefully enough in the tank to join a group that sweeps me up
