The IRL races are riddled with cheats and fraud. It’s a well known problem. @mjd1988 is the true winner if you look at the actual rider performances rather than the fake league results. The IRL league results are the fakeliest.

Wouldn't have been in the picture without you and @IrishAl - the dream team lead out train!

A lot of my sprints where postal sprints so they arrived a few days after the other riders - shouldn't they count just as much #fakenews

First round of the Cycling Ireland Zwift League this morning on the R.G.V. course, chatted briefly with @IrishAl before the race, he was in the Cat. B race.

I started well and was in the second group on the road, kept with them until the Aquaduct KOM when to my amazement I managed to pull ahead of the group ( previously ridden it with CC#68 on the TTT so I knew it wasn't that long ) even managed to PB it on Strava so well happy with that, however as in the TTT a few weeks ago my legs when on the little undulating section towards the end ( @IrishAl - it must have been that rum 🥃 🤣 ).

All told I'm happy with my performance just need to push that little bit harder towards the end - looking forward to the rest of the series 👍

EDIT : Just looked on ZP and I did the Aquaduct KOM in 47:97 at 290W = 3.6 w/kg 😁

Good going Ian. The Cat B race was tough one...almost 150 riders on the start line. I had planned just to sit in expecting a big peleton to go all the way to The finish but it turned out to be a high pace the whole way with my heart rate in zone 4 and 5 for the full 30+ minutes. I held onto a lead group and a split happened on the aqueduct with 30 of us getting away but I didn’t have the legs for a sprint as the finish was monstermegalicious flat out. 25th in the end.

these cycling Ireland races attract in a lot of new riders as they’re promoted by our governing body

Kudos to my 11 year old daughter... 👍
She has just ridden the Alpe du Zwift with her friend ( boy ) from Derbyshire, they chatted all the way up on Whattsapp... 🤣
They are now hurtling back down at 65 km/h....

Any one got any plans for tomorrow? Wet and wild weather again here in NI this weekend so I won’t get an outdoor cycle in. I Spotted the Giro Del Rigo tomorrow morning @ 8am - Big Foot Hills - 70km - with well over 1000 riders signed up. I’ve entered but will be taking it relatively easy.

8am start is keen! I did an insanity “back to core” workout this morning so no appetite for a ride tonight but might do a light 4x6min sweet spot watching mandalorian tomorrow evening.

Sounds like Zwift Racing League...

Some pointers ahead of Tuesdays TTT...

Those insanity workouts look bonkers- you enjoy them?

Does anyone here have experience trying to follow a coaching / workout plan, and still fit in one or 2 races per week? At the minute I feel like I’m not progressing.,,going backwards if anything. I think I’ve been racing steadily on Zwift for at least 12 months now even through the summer. Most plans that I’ve seen have at least one work out a week with a lot of threshold work, and another pushing the 5 minute over threshold. I, not sure I’d cope witj that plus a race. Also i dont really want to not race either, so maybe I’m caught both ways And need to decide between training and racing.
Any thoughts?
