Not lucky at all mate ... this is what Zwift racing should be. It's not your fault that riders have put themselves in the wrong category
You've been working and racing hard recently, so a deserved win

I am REALLY sorry guys, it has literally just occurred to me that I never set up the meetup for yesterday for the planned TTT. I had seen quite a few people were dropping out so was holding off to see if we'd decide to cancel or not - and then my work got really busy and it completely slipped my mind. I haven't had a chance to read back yet to see if it was cancelled or whether you've all been screaming abuse at me for the past 24 hours.... Either way, sorry again
No worries Paul. We postponed because quite a lot of people couldn't make it this week.
Probably next Wednesday but Friday as a fallback.
I think a couple have said Friday might be better but I also think someone said Wednesday.
Could everyone say which day they can do or say either if you don't mind.

For me Friday will always be easier than Wednesday because I work Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I will try to make a Weds though if that is the chosen day, but it will be hard for me until my wife's carer starts to help her out again with 'things'.

My finest (just over half an) hour:

You can probably skip the first six laps (or at least watch it through on double speed) as it doesn't get interesting until after that.
Lap 7 - I get dropped after the Prime and have to chase back on; takes me until the 3rd corner of Lap 8 to get back into the draft
Lap 9 - J.Andersson uses an invisibility power-up a few turns before the Prime and really makes it count, getting a gap to the rest of the group, which he proceeds to grow over the next few laps
Lap 10 - M.Vanpraet gets green coned just as we approach the finish line and I use my aero power-up and attack at the same time, which means I go clear into 2nd place
Lap 11 - Leader J.Andersson gets green coned on the Prime and I now can start to reel in his 16 second advantage; when I eventually pass him, I use my burrito power-up so he can't draft me
Lap 12 - I spend the whole lap trying to hold on to my newly acquired lead and watch as M.De Groot almost manages it, first on the Prime and then at the finish line, but I hold him off!

Friday yes definitely, any time. Wednesday probably, will certainly try to make it but it would have to be 7pm or later.
Either OK in principle for me Del
Strange evening for me tonight. I'm sitting in the lounge with my good lady listening to her works leaving do (via Zoom). Very emotional as she's giving up work due to her health. She's worked with these guys for the best part of 15 years, and I've known most of the guys for a long time too (we'd always gate crash each others works drinks when we lived in London) plus I did some contract work for the company previously.
So nice to hear all the wonderful comments about her; they made a video of personal comments to her - real tear jerker.
She helped set this company up, set up a lot of the teams and working practices and has been a senior manager for years; they will miss her, but she will miss 'going to work' each day. Her MD is so upset she's leaving - it's so touching.
We always said when we thought her time was getting short that she should pack in work to have some quality peaceful time so this is really very emotional not only for us, but also for those at her company who know the significance of her stopping work. For the first time in probably a year I've had a couple of beers too, which is probably not helping

I hope you both feel this is the right time. Must be an incredibly difficult decision, hopefully made better by the high regard your wife is held in by her colleagues.
I hope it gives you quality time together.
Cheers Del. Yes, we know in our hearts it's the right time, but even so it's not easy. Wife is very pragmatic though and is dealing with it so well. She is such a star.
