Still loads to go. And like with most things, the 80/20 rule applies so will take a while. Happy that I'm at least remotely helpful for the Splitters.

3.9 W/kg is I suspect bang on the money for helping out.

Would be quite funny, if you essentially leapfrog over B cat in one season 😁

Not gonna happen. Immediate goal is that elusive 1200W achievement before the end of the year :okay:

Getting closer:

I came across this chap who is using Sauce overlay

I particularly like the draft indicator , but probably equally the position table, showing how many are in a group, their speed and time away from your own position. Particularly useful, if trying to stay away from a group, its handy to know if its a big pack-worth keeping your effort up or back off.

I think it's great. Some people think it's cheating. It should be in the Zwift UI as an optional thing you can switch on in my opinion.
But they can't even give us a decent elevation map of the route we're doing going in a consistent direction :laugh:

Thing is i look at some of these YT vids and find myself questioning how accurate is the weight they put in zwift. Perhaps tv really does add 10lbs:laugh:

1-man FAL breakaway on Railway Climb. First ever #1 FAL, but that was my lot for the day. 1 min 34 at 364W, took it by >4s :laugh:

We got 5th and are 5th in the league, but there's only 2 points to 3rd. Carl got some good sprint points. Carl and Andy were top 20 and everyone was <60. Good show on a hard course.

Still debating whether to do stage 4 of tour of Britiania not sure about the change to 1 pen starts . In the 2 mass starts I've done noone has been strong enough to drop the group without the aid of a big climb so this kept the times and GC close . But now a stronger C rider could get into an A blob hold on and take minutes of a C blob which will not be able to keep up .I understand they brought in 1 pen as a few C riders were starting in the A pen to get faster times

I think they changed the decision and kept the two pens after all.

EDIT: Looks like you noticed as I sent this.

Oddly, the WICR have just announced they are doing exactly the same thing for December and January -
and people are NOT happy about it at all. Added to the scheduling changes, it looks like it might kill the event (either that or people are all huffy and full of sheet :laugh:).

If you've got the legs, you could always give it a try and see how it goes?
