Zwift Chat

[Joffey]

Last time he joined quite late - we actually had some PMs in the pen about how the race was going to go!

Tonight is going to be difficult. On such an undulating course, I don't think I'll be able to hang with the main group for three whole laps. And especially as the sprint point is right towards the end of the lap, I think JB will easily be able to hoover up all the points. Might be best just to let him go, then try and identify who else in the lead group(s) is a legitimate rider on ZwiftPower and make sure we finish ahead of them so that the Cyclechat team gets as many points as possible overall.

I'll keep an eye out of Zwift Power Live to see where we are. Not many signed up on there so far.

So I think what you are saying is we'll stick with him until that first climb and then if he goes hang back and we'll try and be the best of the rest. Sounds good

Make sure to test out discord as it sounds like it will be useful on Friday!

Can I make one suggestion about Fridays ttt - could we put bob back in our team please - since when have we been listening to his excuses 😁

 

[Del C]

Apologies for the tardy response @Del C - I've been keeping a lower profile whilst I've been off the bike . Thanks for organising, there's been a lot to catch up on but yep, I'm up for a TTT. Friday's often not the best day for me but I'll try and make it if I can as it sounds 'fun'

Good stuff Pete.

Are you recovered now?

 

[Del C]

@peterob is in for the 'fun'

I'm leaving it up to you to 'attract' @bobinski back.

Feeling a lot better thanks Del. I went out for an hour on Friday and felt ok but I don't think a weekend of working in the garden will have done the back any good

I'm planning a quick spin on Zwift later and will try a race later in the week. I've missed it - both riding the bike and riding with you guys

The DBR Wahoo League race??

I'm thinking the same tactics in the C race too tonight Maybe if the C riders can form a little group we can push together, hoover up a few stragglers, and get along quite a nice pace. I think working too hard too early on this course could cause issues later on in the race

Good luck tonight teams B and D

I was slow out of the blocks last week and paid the price as I ended up in a small group where no one wanted to do any work.
I’ll try and start faster tonight and see if I can latch on to Tim @Ketty before I get dropped this time.

Happy for you guys to let me know what’s best to do etc

all push to front group from the off (For about a minute 😂) then can move back if required?

Astoria line 8 was apparently the first stage of the last feltet.dk series. Don't think we did that well as a team (I remember feeling crap).

February feels like an awfully long time ago doesn't it?!

There are 29 signed up at the moment with 1 b cat in the C cat race , I always try and get in the pens with about 25 mins to go at least I can hang with the front runners for a minute or two 😀

might help mate, join the race very early and warm up in the pen, gets you at the front to start

edit, just see Chris reply above

I'm not sure I can commit to Fridays as I need some legs for my irl weekend rides.

But I have set up the discord voice channels as CC-TTT-<colour>
