Looks like Phil is doing the 19:15 FRR TT.

Anyone else planning to have a go at one of the stages this coming week?

Any one fancy a recon of the ZRL course tomorrow evening? I’ve a recovery day so I’ll just be pootling around but will be taking note of the sprint points etc.

Could one of the zwift club admins set up a meet up for 7:30?

Excellent. That's playing to your strength.

With you and Alex, we just need some hilly race now in ZRL That is great climbing

After the dreaded TTT we've got 4 times up Libby (but don't tell her )

I know you mean proper hills though. Perhaps we'll get something next round in the new year?

They are sprinters climbs again aren't they? Although that drag up to the start banner is a real killer, so will suit you climbers.

I'd like to see London with Fox etc in the series. Maybe the Surrey Hills route. We'll not beat the 45kg A cat women that teams seem to be allowed to put in, but it should take the wind out the sprinters

Yes Libby is a bit longer and steeper than Titans, but there are other nasty climbs in that one too (but not FAL/FTS).
The idea of doing it four times is a bit. How can I put this?

Im trying to coax our guest to do our TTT. His squad have a variety of talents and temperaments.

Needs the steady guidance of old blokes

Libby the twisty one? 4 times is going to sap the legs. Wonder if anyone will shave back their first few efforts-doubt it

First one will be balls out as it’s FTS.

At least you’ve got one out of two covered 😄

I'm scared to say I agree .... then there's the straight climb a minute later (can't recall it's name, followed by the drag up to the start/finish banner .. after the 2 KoMs I can see the field being all over the place for the long drag up. Only the strongest will survive .. there can be only one

But that's weeks away ... let's try and figure out how to survive 12 sprints first, when I couldn't survive 2 last week

I might be in no fit shape for Tuesday. Wife has told me we are cycling 30 miles for lunch meet up.




I'm praying for rain 💦💦
