I think to make things easier from now on you guys should give yourselves a score out of 10. And then subtract at least 5 until the score looks a bit more realistic. For reference that would now give you a minus 4 👍.
Ok... with this new information I guess you can have a minus 3
. See you on the start line tomorrow night! Looks a bit challenging doesn’t it!

Everyone in the 3R Sundown League ready for tomorrow's Queen Stage?
I'm hoping to break into the top 10 in C overall (currently 11th), although that's more to do with the fact that two people ahead of me in the standings haven't signed up yet and so I'm hoping it'll stay that way and I'll overtake them by default!
There's little to no chance I'll actually overtake anyone the traditional way - the one person who I'm closest to in the standings is over 20kg lighter than me so even if I manage the impossible and stay with him on the 3 x Leg Snapper climbs, he'll then completely destroy me on the actual KOM itself. My main aim will probably be to mark those guys who are behind me so that I don't lose any places.

Not seen either yet, waiting for them to DL. But having seen several longform podcast/vodcast interviews with him, he can sure spin a yarn

I watched the Lance programmes this week with Wendy and we both found them fascinating. I was going to post up in here but you best me to it.
I watched the G one a while ago and that is also good

Not to take anything anyway from lee who has al my (begrudging) respect. But I think you’ve misread the article.

I skim read it, it said there are only 3 50+ A cat racers. Lee I think is 50+
What did it say?
I think that's the top 50 riders rather than all of them.
Still v impressive!
⚠️ Zwift game update ⚠️
***************************
Sept 28th update details from from Wes Salmon:
Hello Zwifters!
Today we released an update to the game client which further sets the stage for the start of Zwift Academy (kicking off October 1st). In addition, the update includes a number of content additions for upcoming events and as always, bug fixes and improvements.
The update is available for download now for PC, Mac and Android and will appear in the Apple App store for iOS and Apple TV soon.
If you are planning to join an event on your next Zwift session, please make sure you log in a few minutes early to download the update and get access to all the latest features.
Missions and Programs
• Zwift Academy has arrived and this update delivers all the components for Zwift Academy Road, Run and Tri.
Content
• Added or updated numerous kits across cycling and running.
• Updated Pace Partners to inform riders when they join or leave the range of a Pace Partner.
• Added Baby on Board workout collection consisting of shorter workouts for expectant moms or riders who are looking for a less intense, yet still motivating, workout.
Events and Meetups

Bug Fixes and Improvements
• Fixed a bug that caused route badges to not be awarded to riders who completed the Four Horseman and Uber Pretzel routes on Watopia.

• Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause auto-paired steering devices to not work properly with steering in-game.

• Pace Partners will no longer win segment jerseys.
• Nailed down the remaining bugs with items floating in the air in some parts of the France map.
• Fixed a bug that caused AppleTV to report an incorrect number of paired BLE devices.
• Fixed issues on Android causing Repack Ridge dirt roads to improperly extend into the normal roads.
• Fixed a bug causing the DT Swiss ARC wheels to display both disc brake and rim brakes at the same time.

Hi @IrishAl apologies for the late reply!
I’m certainly up for this; be it a CC/WTRL team or IRL. Are you suggesting I join a CC team at Cat B with you guys as that will certainly be good training but I dont want to let you down?
I’m right in thinking it’s 7pm on a Tuesday?
I’m pretty rubbish about finding the how/what on stuff like this so apologies for the questions! Is WTRL who you guys are going to ride for?
first race the 13th I think.
@Whorty sent me IRL application form so depending on your reply I will then decide - shame we have a gap at CAT C right now

Lee is deffo top 50, just to wind Tommy up a little bit
actually it’s a win / win for me. I like to see lee doing well. Plus the higher up the rankings he is the bigger the scalp!
Ad Micheal said, the article was actually focused on the top 50 guys from A and A+. What it did highlight is how those guys generally win, even though they’re different ages and also weights. Long story short don’t stick your nose in front until you have to!
