It's a group conversation on this website but we also used discord for races.
We are building a bit of a squad so there may be the odd bit of rotation but we have a couple of injuries so likely a place? We decide on the team on the weekend before each race.
There's a race link that gets posted on the chat on Fridays/Saturdays and it's all very straightforward. Probably best to join our zwiftpower team but not necessary
We did ... could do a straight race, or go for a Hare and Hounds on a flat course (Paris as we can see the various groups as we go around the laps?).
Anyone got any experience of medial collateral ligament strains? 
Well I think it's that... It's on my left leg on the inside behind my knee. A pain when I lift my leg up. Can cycle at 65-70% effort without much discomfort but not sure if cycling (or walking) might be making it worse.
Started with it after Tuesday's race. Did a 20 mile outdoor ride yesterday which hasn't made it worse so hoping gentle Zwift rides will be ok.

You should be icing the knee, 20 mins every 3 hours, take brufen. Rest more and reduce activity till problem clears up. Then build up and strengthen
Thanks Andy! I'll get the peas out and rest up for a bit
Hopefully it'll be ok by Tuesday as I think it's just a very slight strain.

Nasty. As Andy says give it plenty of rest, ice and ibuprofen as you don't want it to get worse, if it doesn't clear up may be worth seeing go, especially if you can't put weight on it or it feels unstable. Hopefully if you rest it properly now you'll save a longer lay off. You can get reasonably decent knee braces/supports from Amazon for next to nothing
TBH it only hurts when I lift my leg up in certain positions, it's certainly not stopping me from doing anything. But I will rest and take some ibru as that will help with the recovery I presume?

You can't calibrate/do a spindown on a NEO. It is factory calibrated.
Thanks. I did think I'd seen that calibration wasn't needed on the NEO but wasn't sure.
I bought several of these, brilliant. With having two or three, you just swap when they become warm
