Zwift miles to seem much harder than outside miles!!
I'd said the other day that I roughly see a turbo ride in time as about 1/2 of the same time outdoors. Couldn't recall where I'd seen that so just did a quick search and found this ....

So for this estimate not quite twice as much but still, means your 3 hours yesterday on the turbo is similar to 5 hours as an outside ride. Loads of caveats of course to that, but feels about right
24 hour challenge ... now there's something that would be interesting to have a pop at some time in the futureWe're lightweights Paul compared to those who've done Everesting or 24hr challenges

24 hour eatathon? I'm in
Absolutely Andy - don't know how they do it but much respect!We're lightweights Paul compared to those who've done Everesting or 24hr challenges
Yeah that does sound about right! Looking back, also I think taking a short break would have been a good idea at the point I stopped and I probably could have carried on and completed it if I'd done that. But then the psychology kicks in - when you're at home and can just stop whenever you like and do something else, rather than actually having to cycle home or whatever on a real worl ride - it's hard to fight that temptation to just stop because you can!I'd said the other day that I roughly see a turbo ride in time as about 1/2 of the same time outdoors.

I don't know what everyone else thinks but I reckon as this would just be a bit of fun amongst ourselves the more the merrier, so teams should field however many they want/canSounds good - we could use the times from Greatest London Flat and race that course. ZRL will be a good warm up.
What are we going to do about numbers? We have 9 in our CCC squad and I'd imagine we'll all be available...
Or would the much fitter, faster, athletic and superior cyclists in #23 & #68 allow our team of unfit chancers to start with 9
TBH I think the more in your team the more chance that you'll mess up your drafting and it would end in disaster

Presumably that means I've got to follow you on Zwift! Request sent
Oh yeah so I did!! Well actually it was "only" 12 hours but still! A little different to riding the turbo on your own that was but yeah that was pretty brutal. I'd forgotten about that - probably with good reason!
Agree
Would that rule of thumb been more applicable to the good old fashioned dumb turbo trainer where you got next to zero freewheeling. The current (and softer generation imho) don’t know their living if they haven’t sat for an hour on a dumb turbo staring at a wall. 😃I'd said the other day that I roughly see a turbo ride in time as about 1/2 of the same time outdoors.
