One of my life’s biggest regrets is not getting footage of @Add falling over sideways when stationary half way up alpe d’huez. Honestly I still laugh when I think about it now 😅. In fact the image is still so vivid in my mind I’m very tempted to commission a portrait!
It was a shame we didn’t know him well enough to laugh and point - he got away lightly - sure there was a couple of whispered timbers though

My recollection is we all stood over him pointing and laughing. Shortly to be joined by everyone who had been eating in the nearby restaurant. Who then all joined in the mockery as Adam limped off in shame. Do I have it wrong? Because that’s definitely the picture I’m having commissioned. Wouldn’t look right above my fireplace otherwise.

We usually use the Red channel in Discord for the B group when racing the DBR series. Everyone up for that on Monday??

I’ll join you in the CycleChat discord if that’s ok ?? There is no team work in these Team IRL Races as everyone is out to beat everyone else. :laugh:

Feel free to race for CycleChat or your usual team - just having numbers entered is great to show Zwift that the league is popular and our aim is to keep the slot through the summer and in winter.

The only benefit to racing under Team IRL as primary team is that we have a post race draw with all finishers - theres a prize in each category for a product called JOOV muscle spray and balm - deep heat in a spray. If you were in the league from the start the pointswinner in each category wins a €50 voucher for a bike shop so not to be sniffed at. Again this is for Team IRL riders only. If you know much about NI/Ireland politics this almost caused a row in week 1 because some NI riders didn’t know this rule and where up in arms because their points didn’t count and we’re saying it was a south v north thing. This is all despite the fact that Team IRL is for anyone - north or south.:laugh:

hete is a one pager that explains the advance setting of your primary team and name for events. Ignore TTT - this applies to any race you sign up for.

One fella who just happened to be from Belfast, got DQ’d in Zwiftpower for being a sandbagger - a C racing in D. When he didnt see his name on the league table he publicly berated us for being sectarian :shy:

😄

I might throw that one at Del next time he sets the handicap times. Feel like he got off lightly last time :whistle:

I’m in for tonight. I think I’ll play music rather than discord. But if I’m still at the front with a couple of miles to go I’ll try joining the channel just in case I can play domestique for you alan.

It’s possible to do both with the discord iPhone app (probably also on Android)?

The only downside here is that discord puts most headsets into “call mode” which is optimised for low latency rather than audio quality so the audio quality is poor (a bit better than hold music on a phone call but not much). If anyone finds a way to disable call mode when using discord let me know - I would be so happy to get Spotify back at high quality whilst riding with Discord on! Apple support article on the behaviour (but I think this behaviour is the same across platforms) - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208896

So does the music play until someone talks and then cuts out. Or the talking is over the music? I think I might stick to my original plan. Or maybe have music on a speaker and push to talk on discord.
