Mate have you tried sufferfest before? I was looking at giving this a go.Nay ... but that's not a bad thing as it will help me focus on my own thing and not be tempted to race

I'm thinking about it, but I doubt I'll be able to join for the whole series - this may just be a one-off race for me.
Looks like I'll be going back into the office very soon (week commencing 13th July) either for a few days each week, or possibly one week in, one week WFH; remains to be seen which option management choose. This of course would prevent me from joining any Zwift events before 8pm on those days - yes, I was the person who voted for 8-9pm starts on the survey!
In fact I'm going in tomorrow and Wednesday to help with setting things up, so I'll soon find out what the deal is.

I voted for all the days I could do (so yes to Mon, Thur, Fri) etc .... I assumed this was the way to do it as I had no preference on days I could make (until 21st July!) but def can't do Tues and Weds
Yeah I was laughing at myself really, it makes much more sense to vote for every preference rather than just your first one. It’s also raised the prospect of doing a variety of different races which should be a good laugh and keep it fresh.
With regards to you not being able to do either day. Like you say you’re not planning to ride on zwift for the foreseeable anyway. But hopefully going forward we can make it work so everyone can join in 👍
Yay! When’s the first race! Dare I suggest the following....
Race 1 - Wed 8th July - Race (all start together)
Race 2 - Tue 21st July - Individual Time Trial (starting in reverse order of race 1 results)
Race 3 - Wed 5th Aug - Crit Race with last man out each lap (crit city)
Race 4 - Tue 18th Aug - Individual Time Trial with handicaps based on Race #2 ITT
Race 5 - Wed 2nd Sept - Team TT with handicaps (riders equally grouped by ITT performance)
Im sure @peterob could come up with a points system too for an overall.
Holidays, work, family, life, etc will no doubt get in the way at some point for a lot of us so hopefully the above will be of interest to keep the meet ups going through the summer.
I'm just using the free trial of FulGaz for 30 days ... when that runs out I'm going to give Sufferfest a go on their free trial. I'll then sign up to the one that gets me riding the most.
I still have 20 days left on FulGaz so will be later this month for SF.

A belated yay !
Sounds splendid! What would be good is if we are having a points system that it is a fair for all system.
When we did our own league on based on the DBR leagues I won the D series but came nearly last overall on the CChat league - that can't be fair as it's just excluding me all the way for being a fat knacker. It just meant that the whole league was decided by a few riders and the rest of us were just along for the ride. Maybe a points system based on Cat? I'll try and explain:
Race 1 - winner of Cat A, B, C & D get 10 points, 2nd in each Cat get 9, 3rd in each Cat get 8 etc... Then they are put in the overall league, so on Week 1 you will have 4 people on 10 points at the top of the league. Do the same each week and you'll get an accurate league table based on performances in your ZP Cat and then that will be shown on the overall league table?
Only a suggestion...
