I have similar concerns but at a lower level, and for this reason "I'M OUT"
If it were an event invisible to ZP I'd have a go.
By the way. Do we know if WTRL are continuing to use the same ZP category criteria for the upcoming season?

Would you not be interested in using this as a feeler to see where you are at ahead of the season and racing in the most appropriate category?

Yeah perish the thought eh whort?… oh sorry, I mean Bridgy

I'm barely a D at the moment .... I dream of the days I was a C

Not really because I don't rate the 20 minute W/kg measurement as representative of my relative performance to others in a 45-60 minute race.
(Let's just say, on recent in real life 10 mile TT form, I don't think I'm weaker than last year.)
Also not planning on reactivating my Zwift subs for another 2-3 weeks.

Status report of that annoying noise. I have isolated that noise to rear wheel, quite possible where the two spokes are cross in a drive side are rubbing each other. I have search from the net and there are more of similar cases, over time that rubbing start to make creaking noise. Anyway, I was cleaned the spokes and they were dirty from that part, next test drive will reveal did it work. Shame that I don't have spare wheels so I can test better and confirm my doubt's. That's all for now, you can continue your daily routines now

Thanks @JuhaL - I will sleep soundly tonight 😝

I'm signed up for the Tri Aus TT on Bologna tonight, but woke up feeling rougher than a badger's arse so I might opt for one of the ones later in the week instead...

Aww nuts… it’s Covid ☹️

It would be brilliant if it’s an easy fix like that ! Everyone attacks the bb as soon as there is a creak but like others said , chainrings , cleats , seat posts , scewers - there are so many easy fixes to try before going to the hardest to sort - hope you’ve done it - what have you done ? Just a bit of grease ?

For now i have check bb, rear hub freewheel, i have clean and grease them. I have clean seatpost, saddle rail clamp, i have test other pedals and change the cleats. i have also test different saddle. Tomorrow i check if i can fit rear wheel to my Cervelo and see if the noise still exist, if it does then it’s a rear wheel.

You don't have to re-sub - it's only an 8km route, so you can do it with your free August 25km allowance.

I'm probably also going to race in the 7pm TT tomorrow and I'm not planning on starting my subscription again either until the week before ZRL restarts or if the weather suddenly turns and makes outdoor riding less appealing.

Good point.

Same. Weather is much too nice to be doing indoor - until it isn't.

Create a additional account on the free 25km, then if you go over cat limits it won't affect your main account

 

[berty bassett]

You get a free 25 km you say !!! 👀
