Zwift Chat

Sure, I can see that. I can certainly see why you’d take that stance.

But then you have other people, who want to compete against people on a level playing field. And it’s not really fair for them is it.

It’s not life or death of course. Just principles.

Lol, you like how I'd take that stance? You do talk crap Tommy.

I'm a C. I race against riders who are C. I know you have an issue with that, but it really is your issue and not mine. I'm not cheating, and I'm not aware anyone I race with is cheating .... but if you have evidence to the contrary, feel free to post it 🤣

Never underestimate the sheer thrill of rule breaking and not being caught for so so many people. Whether driving too fast , over claiming on their expenses or cheating at Zwift. I am no longer surprised by what people will do. I have no doubt it’s rife.

It’s a good thing or you would be bored with no clients.

 

[Peter Salt]

That’s why it’s so nice to race against people I know and trust

You need to give me their details. I don't suppose they have a chat group or something?

If you’re going to get angry at least get angry at what I said rather than what you misread?

Enjoy your night in Prague Carl 👍. Spending your time on the interwebz rather than doing that is probably a bit of a waste. Insulting me even more so! I’ve been to Prague and it’s a really great city.

Just generally I’m not interested in this constant merry go round and I’m sure everyone else is bored of it. So for the last time… You are free to do whatever you want. And we are free to judge how we see fit. Don’t shoot the messenger just because you don’t like the messege 👍

Turns out putting up Christmas tree lights in an up and down motion rather than going round and around in the traditional way is 100% quicker! Am I the last person to discover this trade secret?!!

Don’t spend to much time here, Santa will notice if you’re not at your work station!

Ah mate - I count myself really lucky - I have met some really nice people online racing and in meet ups and never thought it would happen - who on earth races with complete strangers online then decides to meet up and actually gets on brilliantly with 99% of them !
Some don’t come here any more -soarerv8 and his butler , bill , Adamski deano Randy , brusgaard some on different platforms who I’ve met and won’t mention
Some who still frequent these pages Bob , Tommy ,Cxrandy - Paul , rich , Al, Joffrey, juhal Mdj - all I have no doubt about what they do on their turbos just by either watching their rides or meeting them - seem to me trust worthy
Simply by impressions taken over time
Guess I’ve missed some out as writing this quick and not thinking about it
But if you were looking for a reference , at least I would vouch for this list of rabble to give you the best race they can- oh and when you beat me I can assure you I was trying as well !

That must of been some bottle of sherry!

told you I wrote it quick Alex ! - but you get the idea , race ,meet, ride with people long enough and you know who's who
-sometimes a long ride with someone just talking is better than any cv !


I feel poorly

No subliminal messages… just working on a Saturday listening to music on the headphones and I thought I’d share one… always makes me smile and tap my foot when I play it loud enough!

And by the way I won't be doing any races around Harrogate and London any time soon

So after finishing FRR where did zwift put their 1st stage of the new series yes London and Fox hill at that .
Ignored it Thursday and Friday but finally went for it this morning . Set a PB up Fox hill ( first time on non zwift bike ) . Finished 26th on the road 13th on zwift power . Have an itch to do fox again on the lighter Evo and climbing wheels just to see . Did it today on the canyon and zip 808 wheels

Nice time there Phil. I was a minute behind you on the road, 45s lost up Fox.

Well done. Hopefully all that will stand you in good stead on Tuesday.
I did a more masochistic full dress-rehearsal 4 laps of Cobbled climbs in B (gained the ART jersey as well)
Managed it in 1:01:31 28th out of 36. My time would have got bronze in C.

It's very much an attritional race. The times up the climbs got slower and slower and I was catching people who were falling back on each lap. This week's ZRL, I think, belongs to the lightweights Look forward to seeing you near the pointy end

Tuesday is going to be horrible.... just racing it is brutal, but add in the sprints each lap and there are going to be some very broken bodies by the end.

Bring it on 🤣
