Zwift Chat

[bobinski]

Correct. If someone is in the correct ZP cat, and racing in that cat, then I personally have no issue with that. For C it means they will be racing in the 2.5 - 3.2 w/kg band and hence C racers will be able to compete competitively. I'll never know if they have 'lost' 25kg to get to a weight to ride to that w/kg, so why worry?

The new algorithm will tighten up the rules even more.

For me, it really is that simple.

I just don't want B riders in a C race as they will go off fast, dragging along the top C riders thus giving them an extra advantage; and that comes from a C rider who would be able to hang on to these B's and get an advantage. We had this last Monday; it was called out that out group had 2 B's in there and it was me who was messaging them asking them to sit in the group and not pull us as it was giving us a slight advantage over the chasing group. Thankfully they did respond and did (mostly) stop their pulling, then when we hit the KoM they pulled away from us.

I must be very stupid because I am utterly confused by your posts. One minute it’s life is too short etc and peeps can drop weight within their cat to race in their cat and yet you don’t want a different cat rider messing up your cat races? As if they are different .the rider in your cat who has dropped his weight is messing up your race, taken a place perhaps from other riders, possibly even a podium place.
We will have to disagree.
For me it’s simple.
Get your weight right within a 1- 2 kilo range- weekly weigh ins?
Race in the right cat and don’t sandbag.
Life is too short for this to continue- see you all on zwift👍😁 I will be wearing ZsunR colours.

He won't forget so if I kick his head in and he's second, he will believe he's won.
Probably watches pro cycling and cheering on the drug cheats. Hypocritical.

Cliff notes:

Milzy didn’t cheat it was just an ‘experiment’. Also he owned up to cheating so we should get over it. Even though he didn’t cheat(?). And anyway what’s cheating amongst friends right? If you can’t cheat people in a tight community what’s the point?! Who cares we should all be ok with it. If not you have a negative outlook, you’re salty, you take life too seriously, and even worse... you may het accused of being a Christian!! The lesson in all of this chaps. If your backs against the wall. Just attack the guy who’s questioning you....

No one disagreed so I assume everyone is ok with weight doping from now on 👍 all good.

Whorty certainly is. As weight doping isn’t cheating apparently. Well... maybe it is.... maybe it isn’t.... I’m confused...but he’s ok with it, so we should all be ok with it. Because if you’re not ok with something you probably care too much just for mentioning it.
Whats really bad is Sandbagging! It’s definitely not as bad as sand bagging!

But hey, try not to remember any of this stuff.... Because if you mention it ever again you will be accused of being a complete peanut . And a “hypocrite” apparently. Keep it coming...

There’s an old saying about wrestling with a pig. Don’t do it, because you both get covered in mud and the pig enjoys it.

Believe me I don’t think I’ve won milzy... but I’m happy if you enjoyed it.

You can keep on throwing mud at me all day. If people think I’m a hypocrite or not is up to them.

Ok I'm not mad at you, people cause trouble from time to time. Let's just get back to enjoying what we love.

You have no idea what a relief that is

 

[Joffey]

Your going to suffer on the hills that's for sure.
I'm back to D status so I'll have a go at the KOM's and with your muscle weight I'll leave the sprints to you still

Good news for Monday nights! Speaking of which I might not be riding this Monday, depends how I'm feeling as I'm currently taking some antibiotics for a chest problem I've had for the last 5 weeks. Hopefully I'll make it though

 

[mjd1988]

Hmmm bit surprised at how far off being a "b" I am!

Also assumed I was going to be better for 1 min power proportionately

 

[Marino.g]

Always someone ready to sneer isn’t there? 👍

Just watched it myself and basically Dylan is taking the wee wee

I don’t get it ?
is this aimed at tommy ?
I have had the pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions and look forward to meeting him again some time
This is so far away from what he is like it makes me cringe
He is a good honest bloke who is better than me at riding a bike - and it is a pleasure to try and keep up with him knowing that he is putting a true effort as he does in real life
I have never had cause to doubt him
I cannot say the same about you as I have never met however , you have not got the same respect from me solely based on the weight issues
I like to have fun on here at the same time as banter with people who like to give it their all and at the end of a race lay on their handlebars thinking I couldn’t have done more
This is one of the only things I do in life where I don’t cut corners , yes it means a lot to me , if I cheated it wouldn’t
If other people cheat it spoils it for me and that’s why I liked the little races with just us as it’s a trust thing
I know this doesn’t matter to anyone bar me and maybe I have been clinging on to the old days on here a bit too much , might be time to let it go

Yes he is a great bloke. It's time to let it go.
