Exactly. One guy attempted TCR on a Brompton.

We've had one guy in the club do our advanced group rides on a Brompton. Over 20mph average for 70 miles.

Vaguely related, any b minuses fancy the dirt league? It's squeezed in before wtrl starting 23rd August. Could check if any spots left on the ABR team?

I'd be up for this @mjd1988 but I'm a B+ rider according to the calculator on the DIRT Racing Series website. Do you know if there's any teams needing a B+ rider? I suppose I could look on their Facebook page to see if there's any teams recruiting?

I am having problems with dropouts from bluetooth sensors via the companion app. It has been hapenning for a while and driving me crazy - I did a race at lunch time today and got three drop outs! Thankfully only a couple of seconds so I didn't lose position but it ruins the experience and I have to sprint back on to get into the group which burns matches (I'd have won without that, obviously ).

I'm not sure if it is wi-fi/network between companion app and the zwift app, bluetooth to the companion app, or something else.

Is anyone aware of a good troubleshooting guide for this?

I logged a ticket with Zwift and they told me to update the firmware on my trainer I checked, and it is already on the latest

Is it possible you have other devices trying to connect to your sensors? I sometimes get connection issues with a pair of BT headphones which seem to resolve by switching off BT on other devices they are paired with. Just a thought. Other obvious thing to try is rebooting the router (but I expect you've tried that already).

I'll check with ABR and get back. Not sure if they have a b plus team

I don't think so - I've ensured there are no other apps running that would try to connect to the sensors on my phone and head unit turned off etc. It's also not consistent - if it was every 3 minutes or something that would sound likely.

I have an older Android phone available, I will probably get companion app installed on that to see if it is any different

Thanks Michael - but don't worry, I think I've got myself onto one of the DIRT teams...

Have you tried a signal analyser app. To check what signals are nearby. Something like

Lots of "firsts" still available.

As I'm firmly in C now, I did look at that race but I could only join B ... so I did a different ride instead. Quite like that course (as a C rider!)

I got my best ever 1 minute power in that event today (only 422W though!)

I pushed hard over the crest and down the other side to try and stay with the front group but failed!😩

good morning you fine athletes - has anyone here had covid and experienced any issues afterwards - like lack of breath /power ? just wondering , or has everyone here who's had it been rough then made full recovery ?
not to start an excuse page - just wondering

First time I had it, 6 weeks of breathlessness, fatigue. 2nd time just a week of cold like symptoms.

Rest up and back of intense exercise whenever possible 👍
