So long as I just buy a pair of the zwift official rose tinted glasses, the total weight of Horse and rider should still be under 85kg.

Plan worked im still alive just!. Got my revenge on a cryo gen rider who dropped me on the last race satisfying . Tried to chase Steve down on the last lap took 20 secs off him but . I attacked my little group up the climb to the railway and dropped them and TT effort home

I think you mean @Peter Salt and @alex_cycles are doing fantastically well! The rest of us are trying our best...View attachment 645650
Just watching CCC in the finals with my 'acquired' Zwift glass containing Timmy Taylor's Landlord. A fitting end to the season - I wish I could be racing though!!!
We are on lap 3 but the lads are digging in and doing fantastically well

Peter peaked perfectly as he's just become a B on ZP, and I'm now as 'almost B' as you can get with 3.19 W/kg

When I got dropped (for the second time) from my group on the final lap, I was in no-mans land and saw your group 50 seconds behind and assumed I was going to get caught as I wasn't pushing hard - had no reason to.
Then I saw one of the Portugese riders from the group ahead also get dropped and knew I could catch him with a small sustained effort (had already done this to him on a previous lap), then as soon as I had done I sat on his wheel to recover, which is why your group was able to eat into my lead so easily. Then when we reached the arcade, I sprinted away from him - after all, 100th place was on the line; being able to say you finished in the top 100 is a surprisingly good motivator!

Looks like CCC Splitters have come 7th out of 27 teams overall, which considering we're not a team known for our sprinting on such a sprint heavy final course, is really brilliant.
However @Peter Salt is now our new @Whorty - telling everyone he's not a sprinter when he got over 60% of our points, which included a 1st, a 2nd, two 3rds and two 4ths at primes! Shout out also to @alex_cycles who absolutely killed himself to get a final lap FTS placing.

Didnt think I would but strangely I enjoyed that . After getting over the disappointment of being dropped on the brutal start again . I found myself in a group of 6 ,halfway round the first lap we reeled in a bigger group making about 20 of us . The pace was just uncomfortable but ok then on the 2nd lap a sandbagger lit up the sprint at 11.8wkgs and ripped the group apart . Back in a group of 6 . Had some fun at the sprints that none of us were really going for but kept rolling the cryo gen rider on the line ,it amused me . On every incline I could tell I was the lightweight in the group as my wkgs was the lowest . Just before the last climb to the railway I noticed the next man up the road was Steve at 50 secs ,oh a carrot to chase . So on the climb I had a dig got a gap and then went all in to the end took 8 secs off the group but Steve was too far in front to catch

Thanks to @Joffey for stopping me going for an FTS that didn't exist . I managed an attempt on the next one, which at the time told me 6th, so hopefully it'll stick. I got it on vid too. Couldn't be happier with that tbh...

@Peter Salt is a beast. I think he got 8 lots of FAL points

Just took my TCR off the trainer ready for tomorrows outdoor ride and noticed a lot of play in the bottom bracket , 2 zwift races in a week has killed my bike . My trusty Defy is of commuting duties for tomorrows ride . Glad I didn't notice the play before today's ride as I probably wouldn't have dared to ride it and it's my only 11 speed bike .
