Zwift Chat

[peterob]

In other news, @peterob has been promoted to A-cat, so he will not be allowed to ride in B-cat anymore.

Aaaarggh. I didn't know that

It looks like the crit city races have done it for me. That's a bit annoying as although competitive in the crit races, I'm considerably further down the B cat field in longer and/or hillier races that the DBR series tend to be. If I'm having to race in A I'm going to be well off the back .

Your average is 4.02w/kg That's pretty marginal. Well done though

Cheers @bridgy I can't join the meetup as my ANT+ stick failed and the replacement isn't here yet

Doesn't zwift work on Bluetooth for Windows 10 now? Or was that a beta, can't recall.

You could do it on bluetooth with half the power output recorded, and the meetup feature will match your pace to the rest of the group?

I'll bet the current KOM owners around your area would be happy to find one for you.

I want to get stronger, not die They look brutal!

They are

My bike is broken

Took it to a local guy who I use as mechanic because there is sideways movement in the cranks (both moving together - happened a few months ago for the first time). I need a new crankset and BB, but they're difficult to get at the moment and he can only get one on Saturday. So I will be collecting the bike on Sunday and then riding the DBR on Monday after zero riding hours all week!

Could try and focus on losing a KG before the race, but don't know if I can be bothered tbh.

Always have a backup bike, computer, trainer and ANT+ stick!

You need a new bike (N+1)

@bridgy there are two social ride meet-ups in the list on the companion app?

Yes it does - it is the pedals and Zwift over bluetooth. Zwift won't see the combined power over bluetooth, only ANT+

That is smart thinking! I've just done a 30 mile IRL ride now though

I'm at N+4 bikes at the moment. None of which I can ride properly

I'd offer to look after one for you, but I don't think my short legs would reach the pedals

Guys I'm sorry I don't know what has happened with the meetup - firstly it duplicated itself, I don't know why. I then deleted one because only Chris L was in it and he was also in the other one. I have now started the meetup but no one is here with me!!
