Given its a scratch race is there any objection to inviting Lee or any others to join in?

No not at all - although Lee doesn't currently subscribe to Zwift, and as Alan found out last week you can't join a meetup if you're using a free trial. That said, anyone's welcome if they have zwift...

Great fun last night - well done everyone!

We have 2 Tuesdays left until the ZRL starts up again, so @Joffey , @mjd1988 and I were thinking we should brush up on our scratch racing skills and do a mass start scratch race on a different course next week.

It won't be a handicap race, so it's a straight race for the overall win, and/or a win over your teammates. However we thought we could set off the D, C and B Cat riders at 1 minute intervals, with D Cats going first, then C, then B.

Course-wise I was thinking Watopia Figure 8 - https://zwiftinsider.com/route/figure-8/

7pm start again, and hopefully we can have a good turnout like we did last night...

All the riders from one category going at once, or a minute between each rider?

D - 19:00
C - 19:01
B - 19:02

It's not a handicap as such, just a little head start on the cat behind. I think the name of the game is to beat your team mates (which might be dull if you are the only D - but hopefully we have a good turn out and it makes it a bit of a change)

Everyone from the same Cat goes together at the same time

That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure.

Put me in with the C's then. I'd love to win the D category, but being 1st out of 1 isn't really that much of a challenge! Plus it's REALLY hard to get a draft off yourself...

A win's a win Steve

Should we get our b teams in two team kits to differentiate? Would be good to highlight the team element

For the record, I’ve already anticipated that with the resumption of the scratch races. We can also expect the resumption of the pitiful excuses that the impending event seems to extract from some of you chancers. So... just by way of a small update in keeping with the times we are living in....

(claim to be) suffering covid = 0/10
(Proven to be) suffering from covid = 2/10
Just had covid jab = -2/10
Any excuse from Bob relating to covid or anything else for that matter = - 7/10

👍

I think we’ve reached a new high in a 2/10 for covid? Have you gone soft @<Tommy> ?!

He’s just giving me a hard time for not meeting him on the escalator 😉

Wow you've just saved yourself a lot of future workload there with the Bob categorisation
