I think it's best to have 3 teams (especially as I'm probably a c after the Christmas binge plus lay off 🙈)

I know @Joffey and @BurningLegs have being doing some recruitment work to bulk up numbers

I'm in 36th position.
A few riders could overtake me in GC, but I should be okay on the flatter Tick Tock course.
46th place is my mate so I definitely need to keep him behind me...

Noted ... Neil Hodges has a target on his back

I think you are in with Nick, Mike and I. Recruitment continues. I am waiting for the ZsunR recruitment drive to tail off and see if there are any left we can nab.

In 68 we have:
@mjd1988
@bobinski
@BurningLegs
@Ketty
@Brendan Parker (don’t worry, the form will return)
+1 - speaking to a few people on Facebook at the moment to see if they fancy racing in a B Cat team.

I think 23 have a problem now that @peterob has been promoted? Anything in the works there guys?

Meanwhile the third team has various riders volunteering from C/D (being co-ordinated by @Joffey):
@Joffey
@steverob
@Whorty
@Spartak
@JLaw
@DCLane
@Johnsop99
@MichaelO

Should be enough of us then between #68 and CCC team to make 2 full teams

I’ve just posted in the Cyclocross/Triathlon section asking them if they want to race online considering their events are all cancelled. Hope I don’t get a black eye 😂

I'm looking forward to racing again. So far I have resisted the temptation to race since the end of ZRL Season 1 so I can get some proper training in. I've been prescribed "Free ride on Zwift - As you please for 60 minutes" today and was tempted to do a Crit City race - but having done 2 tough training sessions on Monday and Tuesday I have reluctantly persuaded myself to just do a mainly Zone 2 hour maybe with a couple of sprints.

Hopefully it will pay off when the real racing re-starts.

@Norry1 I have had trouble riding at all over the festive period. Had two weeks off work and started perfectly last Monday with a 100km ride in 2.5hrs. Then ate and drank non-stop, promising myself to do another 100km this Monday just gone but have been unwell (again!!)

Now weighed myself and I’m +3KG which is 5% of my body weight! 🤦‍♂️

Gentle 30minute roll for me tonight and if I’m good tomorrow will do some sweat spot. I’m off booze and treats now - want to get rid of at least 1KG before 12th of Jan.

Can anyone here beat a body weight increase of 5% in about 10 days?!!

I assume you mean sweet spot? Nice Freudian Slip if so

And good going on the weight gain - 5% is good going

Doubt I'll beat the percentage but pretty sure it'll be over 3kg. Hoping to be back on the bike tomorrow or soon after to start the repair job

I've resisted the racing and have been doing a bit of much needed base training . Will start to introduce a couple of threshold and VO2 from next week.
Looking forward to the racing again .

Hi @Girafitti - thanks for coming over 🙂

FYI everyone - Girafitti is a B Cat rider who was looking for a team on Reddit.

Your numbers look good for our team @Girafitti - I will add you to our team chat and our captain (@mjd1988) can guide you through what you need to do with tags etc

What sort of riding do you usually do? Almost all of my cycling is indoors, but a lot of people have started doing more indoors with lockdowns. Have you been riding more indoors this year?
