Perhaps we need a CCC Team


I remember my Zwift/PC days...
I'm not going back.... Lol 🤣

Same here. I know apple get a bit of a slagging at times, but every time I have to do some work on a windows laptop I wish I had my MacBook with me.

Anyone fancy a race today (not evening). I really need to brush some cobwebs off.

@bridgy has done it in 9:55!

Not knocking Bridgy at all. But I think he Should fancy beating that time. I know he can put power over ten minutes.

(Carl you’re not last on the list. Scalps have been claimed 😄👍)

Zwift Activity Monitor (Windows only)

I’ll give that a try. Now zwift has sorted not having to restart in windows when finished a ride I would prefer to ditch ATV. And the frigging remote.

Same here. I’d forgotten quite how frustrating day to day life can be with other systems but our Mac recently died (wife dropped it into the bath!) and just little things like copy/paste between iPhone and Mac are so convenient and you miss them when they’re not available anymore!

Did you stop for a picnic or a puncture @Norry1 ?

Can't recall. I'd been cycling for a year then and was doing Lands End to John O'Groats with my kid brother. We were self supporting so bike was loaded up.

....... Just had a look at Strava - and it seems I stopped at the left turn for a while - that's my excuse(s) anyway

You’ve thrown down the gauntlet now Carl.
I did it in 15:26 but I was conscious I still had a 50 mile ride to get home.
I will give it another go on a weekend soon I would to try and beat that time.

Same here, the Gorge was the end of my loop, so I was 32 ish miles in with the same to go. I'll have to drive over there and do it on fresher legs (and without the near 2kg of water bottles ). Be nice to get my time closer to 13 mins

Yeah ... I think that time is safe from me

Looks like someone needs to get back out there and try again

Would be good if it is on a CC get together, but if not some of my family live in Weston and I can coincide a visit with a spin around Cheddar way. Challange accepted

Was watching a YouTube video of the climb last night and the guy was claiming that left turn is up to 27%. That's not correct, surely. I can believe it's close to 20% for a few metres but not higher.

Edit: max gradient seems to be 16% https://cyclinguphill.com/cheddar-gorge/

Later this month, after half term and when weather is better, I'll drive over there and park up. Go up there on fresh legs and no water bottles and see what I can do. Just need to work out where the start/end to the Strava segment is.
