Good question. I never look at that. Will try now.

if its on your phone you will need to pair device/phone again for the ride to sync across if you havnt for a while
Tommy, I agree with your general point but think I disagree on the specific here. Last night I was on track to beat my best 20 minute power on Zwift as I approached the top of the Volcano KOM. But I got there at around 19 minutes and then my average plummeted as we went down the hill. Assuming the C's were a bit slower, they would have been just over 20 minutes at that point, which may have made it an exceptional course for 20 minute power purposes.
Overall, my average power was lower than usual for the reasons you state.
Anyway, well done @Joffey - celebrate your improvement
I think you are right, quite a few of the top 10 in our race have now been upgraded to B or are ‘Almost B’ - It appears that it is the perfect course for a Cat C rider to bust his limit on

is the file in the device if you plug in PCJust done a sync and it says no data available
It is in "History" but not in the activities directory which is weird.
Device was showing the wrong time so I just took it outside and acquired satellites - now showing the right time. Did a test 1 minute activity (sat still) and that is showing up. Hopefully the date/time just got screwed up and is ok now reset. Will test on today's ride.
Thanks.... I'll shout later if it doesn't work
I had a good night in the end... 9th fastest up the KOM, 8th, 7th & 8th over the KOM and 5th overall. Plus a handy FTP upgrade from 303 to 321.
Thanks for the encouragement and info on the way round
Great result Joffey
Now to work on your sprint at the end of a race.Being a big guy, young and.......
from Yorkshire, aim for 1400+W

My legs hurt today 
A promotion will happen when your average of 3 races is above B limit. Your 3 race average is still only 3.03 w/kg and last night you only just broke the C limit. You would need either one spectacular ride, or 2 more like last night, to squeak into B so I think you're fine for moment
| 95% of 20min | 314watts / 3.21wkg |
| 95% of 20min | 302watts / 2.96wkg |
| 95% of 20min | 295watts / 2.93wkg |
| Average | 304watts / 3.03wkg |
Just looked at my first 20 mins last night .. this took me from start pens to just cresting the KoM, so a very hard 20 mins and hence no surprise this was my best 20 mins for some time. Then, as yo say, the average w/kg dropped significantly as the race settled down.Tommy, I agree with your general point but think I disagree on the specific here.

Last night, unlike a normal race, the effort didn't let off until we went over the KoM, whereas normally a race settles after 5 mins with the odd surge.
Even I was close - I average 238 watts for that first 20 mins / cresting the KoM, which was 3.3 w/kg for me, by far my best power for nearly a year (and I was still 16th over the KoM!!!!).I think you are right, quite a few of the top 10 in our race have now been upgraded to B or are ‘Almost B’ - It appears that it is the perfect course for a Cat C rider to bust his limit on

Yeah, it only shows Almost B because you've got one result that is above the limit. It would still show that even if your other two results were like 2.6 or something. Likewise, you could have three results that are all 3.199 w/kg and you WOULDN'T be tagged Almost B, even though logically you'd be right on the cusp of being promoted.A promotion will happen when your average of 3 races is above B limit.

Ah, I understand now. So I very much doubt that I'll be having another couple of efforts like that soon - the courses left don't allow it really.
Of course it's great to improve yourself and I would love to be a B one day in the near future but I would also like to have another ZRL season in CCC before that day comes. And with a good few riders getting bumped up to B last night I might even get a podium next season
It was a crazy first 20 mins! I coped fine with the flat part but as soon as we went up the KOM I was on the edge!!!

Congratulations on your imminent upgrade @Joffey - looks like you'll be in the #68 team for next season of ZRL?
Even if you do get upgraded to B now you will be able to complete the season in CCC Team because you've done enough races there before the upgrade
You're in the fantastic position of increasing power and losing weight right now, so not surprising that you're moving up a category! Well done
