Tempting but 4dp test in the morning so no thanks 😂

Oh, lucky you

1st one? Hydrate and eat well beforehand. Have a gel or jelly baby or two to hand and keep cool as you can with a fan. You must go all out on the 5 min before the 20min . Treat it like the start of a zwift race -you will have a bit of time to recover 😉
Enjoy the 🤮 at the end👍😁

Yep first one. Seen what there about so not going in totally blind but I’m sure that still doesn’t make them anymore fun 😬

Just watch the video on the site on how to do it and you will be fine. But I am being serious when I say it’s like a race. That what catches out most who haven’t really smashed themselves before.

Thanks for the encouragement Brendan. 2nd Cat B again! I’m making a habit of taking silver.

I wasn’t stalking you mate honest. I was playing with OBS and trying to overlay zpower data over zwift and your race was the perfect opportunity to try 😂. Even have the recording if you want it 🤷‍♂️
Great finish 👍🏼

I’m planning to ride at 7PM tomorrow. Got a few up and coming Zwift riders doing some recon on the route tomorrow afternoon.

First stage seems to be on Watopia Mountain route, probably with the edited France look???. From stage 2 tour continues on a new France map.

I hope to be riding stage 1 at 8am tomorrow.

Well the Bolt Racing Team admins have finally got round to updating the results of this week's races and I have been given first place in both the D Category rides I took part in!

TT Race League: https://boltrace.team/results/current/time-trial-league#d-grade-individual
Criterium Race League: https://boltrace.team/results/current/criterium-league#d-grade-individual (I'm in 2nd here because one guy did enter both the first two events, whereas I've only been in the second one)

Looks good having that little gold trophy next to your name I'll admit!

Video of the Criterium race can be found below. It's a bit hard to follow as I'm riding mainly with the slower C's for the vast majority of the race and some of the D's around and ahead of me either are going over the category limits or aren't on ZwiftPower at all, so it can be hard to track who I'm actually racing against. But it was basically a war of attrition; keep on pushing to stay with the biggest group and slowly but surely all your rivals - in my case it was S.Maguire, M.Wilkinson and D.Hunter (but not A.Hunter, he's a C really) - will start to get dropped as you hang in there.

Haha. 👀
I wouldn’t mind seeing the point where I was dropped again. I was on the limit but I think I lost places and drifted to the back of the group as we hit the dirt roads - then the pace seemed to lift earlier than normal and the pack became strung out and the elastic snapped for me.

I would have liked to have held onto The front group to the finish. just one legit B made the split which gave him the win.

Did the 4dp last week and gave me Pursuiter for my rider style which is ok for the track but not great for the peloton.
It has suggested some workouts for my weaknesses but my trainer is not very good with the short quick changes between intervals (Elite Direto) and it’s a real problem even when switching off the erg mode to level mode.
Wondering how your trainer bike copes with the short sharp changes that’s very common with sufferfest workouts @bobinski
