So @Joffey, will you still be entering the DBR series in C? I only ask because I'm in the C cat for the Sundowner series on Tuesday nights and would certainly welcome the company! Maybe not tonight's race, as you'll be knackered from yesterday's exploits, but next week onwards?

I usually ride outdoors on a Tuesday but now I'm not committed to a Monday night series I'll join in and help on a Tuesday if the weather is bad.

Vague chance I might make the start line of the 3R race tonight.

So far @Brendan Parker @bridgy @IrishAl signed up, all under different teams. As it's a GC tbing, are zsun, BRT and team Ireland racing as teams or is it an all for yourself type thing?
I don't think there's a team leaderboard as far as I'm aware. I'm riding for ZSUN and there's quite a few of us in Cat B so we have said we'll ride for each other - i.e to try and help the highest placed teammates remain as high in GC as possible. I'm currently 3rd placed ZSUN rider in Cat B and my aim for tonight is to try very hard not to get dropped - something I failed to do last time I raced this course, As Tommy will be pleased to tell you about because he was in the front group that got away that day! On the plus side that was also the race that sent him into Cat A purgatory so that made me feel a little better about it!

Pretty much the same for BRT, although none of which concerns me to be honest as I’m sure I ll be out the back by lap 2. I’m going for a different approach tonight, not even attempting staying with front group as I just kill myself so going to hang around 2nd/3rd group depending how it pans out.
Come join the party 👍🏼
 
Donno if here is any Tacx Neo 2T owners but i found link of this video in Finnish bicycle forum. At least gives reason to think or what are your thoughts?.

Thanks. Mine is just A few months old, and I haven't had any problems with it, but I am certainly going to use the excuse that it is the only reason I'm so slow.

It was worth it 👍
 
Seen on another forum. Regarding zwift/power. All zwift users will now hopefully have a zwift power account 😀

It sounds like Zwift are planning to bring the Zwiftpower functionality to be an integral part of their software, although I can imagine the race details will have to be accessed via their website rather than within the game itself.

There’s only a small number of Team IRL riders in Cat B and it looks set to be every man for himself. BRT always seem to be a well oiled machine, I’m always tempted to eavesdrop on their Discord but that would be very unsporting of me 😁. Suffice to say the top BRT riders are always a good wheel to follow, Parker excluded by his own admission 🤣. 12 laps of crit city will be tough and with over 100 riders signed up it will be frenetic.

Wow that was a hard race! How did everyone do. I could hardly see the tarmac for ZSUNR jerseys. I managed to stay in the front group but was on the Rev limiter on the last lap. I had planned an all out 30 sec sprint but in the end I had to up the gas a good 60s from the finish and managed to slip my way through the field to around 25th place. Average heart rate was way way up there into hZ4 and max was my max 🤢

I’m actually buzzing!! Stayed with the lead group till last lap. massive FTP increase for my sins though as just about to start a training plan 😬
Oh and only my second ZPpoints since B 😂. 6!
