Thanks @IrishAl... 😉

Del we might have to factor in climatic conditions into the time gaps if the South of England chaps start to roll out 29oC as an excuse for poor performance 😂

I'm already preparing that as an excuse!

Al, could we move the start time to 19.05 or 19.10? Or even going 10 minutes earlier is ok.

I've got to set up my road club's TT for Wednesday at 19.00 and I don't want to wait and see what Zwift decides to do when it thinks it has to invite me to join 2 meet ups at the same time!

I've decided to overheat with the Cyclechat team on Wednesday and miss the road club TT

I'll put up proposed teams and handicaps tomorrow. When I looked yesterday, there were 15 of us, so I'm thinking of going with 4 in B, C and D and 3 in A.

I’ll move it to 19:05. That will give the southerners more time to get the sweat going in the warm up 😀

I made the Mistake one time of changing the route for a meet up about five minutes before the start time. Originally it was meant to be Achterbahn CCW and I quickly changed to Achterbahn CW. It seemed that those who joined to meet up Before I changed did the original route and then me and one or two others Who joined after did the CW route. It was funny seeing people heading off in all different directions.

Based on current entries, here's my proposed teams and handicaps for Wednesday.

We're short in C this week and down to 15 riders, so I've had to shuffle people down, and that also makes both A and B very strong.

I think the 3 minute handicap for D is still fair, especially as I've had to move Martin and me into C.

I've kept a 2 minute gap between C and B, although they are strengthened by moving Nick and Pete into B.

I've only got a 1 minute gap between A and B. A have only 3 riders in Al, Tommy and Paul, who are currently the 3 strongest riders. But as they're chasing a stronger B, then I don't think anything more than 1 minute is fair.

If we have any late entrants from the the previous doubtfuls, then I'd go as follows:

@berty bassett into Team A
@Alongo into Team B
@mjd1988 into Team C
@Add into Team D

If Team B end up with 5 riders, and Team A with 3, then I'd move Nick back up. I would have moved Pete, but as he's been recovering from his injury, I'd leave him in B.

Let me know if anyone objects or disagrees.

There is a slim chance I might make the start line for tonight. Haven't really slept though so might be a short effort umelss coffee kicks in

Looks like I may be the only CC rider, so I've switched my team back to WTRL

Even @IrishAl 's not in it!

My wife should be home by Wednesday but I'll not confirm one way or another until the day so as not to confuse things

P.s. saw this on zwift hype.

 

[BurningLegs]

What, only three in A? That’s madness, no way we will be able to do anyth... oh wait I’m in B?

Looks like a great setup, @Del C - looking forward to it
