Zwift Chat

Always good to be dragged around by a fast pack. I was desperate not to get dropped on the second KOM but once that gap developed
the elastic snapped pretty quickly. Great effort by our group to try and haul the fast boys back and great fun. Well done all.

My brain did a massive fart at the end. I was watching the banner and the countdown timer and I couldn’t work out what was going on. I actually made up some descent ground in the sprint but too little too late...

Unless you’re writing that from the helicopter it’s got to be a minus one I’m afraid...

No, I got home, but this was the crash ... Crash Story

Thankfully looks like no fatalities

Many thanks to @Brusgaard for waiting for me and towing me round! That was tough

I joined too late, and the train was already choo-chooing out of the station. Despite going 6-7 w/kg a few hundred meters, I could just watch it getting further and further away. I knew I would be stuck in no man's land and so would you, so decided to join you.

I don't know your abilities, but you seemed to struggle a bit uphill (as do I), but I usually got a bit ahead of you there.
Did half a sprint to the line - unfortunately it was at the banner, and you came sprinting past me with aero PU soon after.

In spite of living in a very hilly area I'm no climber, more of a sprinter.

Maybe the idea of joining an A race makes sense. Great course though, bit of everything

Any races on Bologna?

Terrible shame about your technical issues Pistol Pete...

Yeah. Better to have the gremlins now rather than the ZRL I suppose.

Bluetooth connection suddenly dropped out. I tried re-pairing in-game to no avail. After re-starting Zwift everything worked perfectly again and I completed the lap with a bit of an effort up the forward KoM. I could see from the leaderboard that @BurningLegs had the fastest time, shortly followed by Paul and Tommy. Well done guys . And it sounds like a good close finish too.

Shame it dropped out then as it was a good group and about to hot up as we approached the KoM. Same again next week?

Sorry I missed the ride guys ... hopefully next week

Does anyone have Richard Branson's address?

Seems that @straas had technical gremlins too...

On reflection I’ve decided I’ll be the bigger person and share joint first with you 👍👍

In other news I’ve watched norry’s video and it’s obviously been tampered with as it shows me crossing the line in 4th 🤷‍♂️

Good Race guys.

Vid will be here when it finishes uploading.

Randomly at the start of the race @BurningLegs starts before everyone which I think is why you are placed worse than you should be? Bit of a weird one. Thanks for the video!

Martin, Your disappointment is very funny 😁

Yeah I just watched the end of the video too - when @Norry1 realises he's sprinted for the wrong finish line! 🤦‍♂️ Sounds like I benefitted from a few people doing that, as well as no Pete at the sprint finish.

I'll take it though
