Hi guys, sorry I haven't been on here much at all lately - nothing personal, it's simply that I've been pretty stressed with the whole lockdown situation for various reasons and I just found myself not coming onto the forum like I normally do in my normal daily routine - no other reason than this. I am literally about a month behind on what's going on!
I also lost my motivation for racing for a while but I am now keen to get back into that again. You're right that I have joined the zsun team on zwift to try doing some racing with them. Again, nothing personal, and I'm just giving it a go at the moment (I'm still in the CC team on ZP, just made zsun my "primary" team for now).
Zwift racing as you know is most fun when you're racing with or against people who race at similar pace to you - Tommy and Lee are the two people I tend to be closest to most of the time (even though they keep battering me at the moment!) and as they were giving zsun a go it made sense for me to as well. When I did a couple of the Danish league races recently, I didn't enjoy the racing that much - not because I got a kicking which is true! But because I had no Cyclechat B cat teammates near me for most of the time - I think at the moment that would happen a lot doing organised zwift series races in the CC team for me - particularly without Tommy and Lee around. By contrast, I did my first race with zsun last night and there were 12 Cat Bs from zsun there and I was with teammates for the entire race (and Tommy wasn't even there!) so it was a big difference! So as I say, nothing personal at all, just to do with the current make up of riders on here - which does seem to have a strong group of closely matched C Cat riders which is great - and also a desire to try something different as I haven't ever really done much of these organised zwift race series in a team.
As for the "social" meetup rides some of us have been doing on a Wednesday I'm very happy to keep doing this if there's interest - numbers were quite low last week so let me know if there's still interest in doing it and I will set up a meetup
